AGM Battery was replaced and registered to the car. 4 weeks ago leaving the pool I started the car and the high drain message showed up again. The clocks were even out so how it started i have no idea??? A week later on the highway after driving 80 miles it shuts down. So once again the computer told the alternator to turn off and the battery drained out. I restared the car with anouther battery i took out of my 3 series and connected it using jumper cables to the terminals under the hood. It stared right up and has worked fine for the last two weeks. I just dont get it????
There are a lot of modules that they can check,,,finally what worked for me was the replacement of the radio,,,,,,,this was after they replaced almost everything else in the car
