    That seems kinda high unless your running some sort of voltage booster mod although it's still in the safe operating range.

    From what I've observed on mine and other Toyota's 13.2-13.8 is the typical operating range, higher when it's cold and lower when it's hot.

    Would you think the scangauge is getting higher numbers? Its pulling from the OBD port.

    I havent had any issues since I replaced my alternator. Also not running a voltage booster (i don't think, but cant remember. I used to have one..)

    Scangauge reads it from Pin 16 of the OBD port, mine sits at 13.2-13.8 all the time.

    Most people put a diode in place of the ALT-S fuse to trick the alternator and boost the voltage.
