Given the codes, you had a low voltage incident. Battery would say AC Delco if original. Without a date sticker with the little circles "picked out". A good battery would handle the alternator not briefly charging at a low RPM. I would start there. Actually I would start with making sure the connections are tight. And the ground lug isn't corroded. Most Parts stores will come out and check both the battery and alternator for free. Until you take these first steps, the rest is pure conjecture.

Did you attach a ground wire to the trunk lid Sam, or did you rely on the hinge to give you a continuous ground?
