okay, the battery reading with the car off is 12.68V. While it is idling, it's at 13.85-14.0V. When I revved it up, the reading briefly jumped to 14.15-14.3V, then dropped to 14.0V. I have cleaned all the contacts, and I applied the battery anti-corrosion disc on each terminal. The charge indicator light went out after the rain shower we had yesterday for about 150miles, but it came back and stay lighted dimly for another 50 miles with no rain. So if CTScott is correct, then it's just another annoyance I have to live with till I sell the car. Boy, I am not too impress with toyota quality. I didn't expect a Denso alternator to go back after 120K miles. On the other hand, it has been trouble free for 4.5 years and the gas saving is great. Thanks all for your help :)
