Battery has a full charge and battery cables/connections all good? Did you check trouble codes? I saw 4 possible codes. The info below is circuit description for one of those codes. The codes I saw are manufacturer specific codes for L and F terminals.

also, this wiring diagram. The bat terminal at generator should read higher than battery voltage, if charging, engine running. If you turn on accessory, engine running, does the charge output change? That's all I know. goodluck
