I don't think this is a shorted diode. Maybe an ignition switch problem.
I also thing that 13,8V is not bad result.

I don't think so because I if not run the engine, only turn key to ignition and then turn off it, coils in relay are open and then close properly. There is something wrong just when the engine is running (so problem with alternator is quite logical). I just can not understand how it is possible that coils in OVP are shorted when on pin 15 there isn't any voltage



I made another simple test. I disconnected both cables of alternator, then I starded the engine. Problem didn't resolve so I am almost sure that alternator is not a reason in this case
