No, the Multiplex Control System is not the ECU/PCM. It is more commonly known as BCM ( Body Control Module ) and would not trigger any codes on the CEL.

If it is the door/safety indicators lights that are not turning off, then the Multiplex control unit has a fault. If it is the alternator charge light that stays on brighter, then it is not a problem with the alternator circuit.

If the charge indicator light is not fully bright when ignition switch is turned on and becomes fully bright after disconnecting and grounding the circuit, the alternator is the cause of it. The voltage regulator circuit is bad.

I have been telling you to get the alternator replaced to test but you have refused to do so.

What else do you expect me to tell you?

After starting if the charge indicator light remains on dimly. The alternator regulator circuit is bad.

Get another alternator to test. DO NOT reuse any of those you have tried.

The old alternator was bad and the one I bought was good. But I figured it out, there was a bad connection between the harness from the engine to the one that goes in the dash and it was the black and yellow connection.

Black/Yellow wire is the main ignition switch wire for power supply to all electrical components. This means your test for continuity and power supply for the charging system was not done correctly.

Glad to know you have fixed the problem.

Have a nice day.
