From my experience, you should have at least 13.3v when the car is running. As for the flashing d4, problem with transmission. How's your speedometer ? Does the car drive and shift smooth?

Sounds like the alternator may be toast.

^ That's where I was going, and for a 1998.... I'd be checking all the grounds and wiring associated with the alternator as well.
