Most likely, as Joycesjag says, you're battery is dying. Pull it and have it checked. It'll most likely have failing cells. Don't buy a cheap-o replacement.

If the battery is OK, then move on to the alternator.

This issue points up something about microprocessors -- take what they say as regards errorcodes *** salo granis, even better, a sackful of the stuff!
