Default Warning lights flashing like mad. Over charging/high voltage problem?

The SRS, ABS and EPS warning lights came on after washing the engine compartment. Still happens after drying and cleaning all connectors. The warning lights are turned on intermittently. SRS on most of the time, ABS and EPS now and then. The ABS and EPS lights are flickering with a high frequency somestimes and some times lit for moment before flickering again.

After a while I also realised that the battery was "cooking" (making sounds) and checked the voltage over the battery while reving the engine. It was between 17-18 Volts wich must be to high.

Then turned on all electrical functions and all the warning lights suddenly went off!`Turning off all electrical functions and the warning lights start flickering again. Reving the engine also effects, high rev=warning lights on, idle= less flickering lights.


What is the likely cause of this??? What is happening? What part to replace?

Forgot to mention that my authorized Honda shop tried connecting their computer to read error codes but did not manage to get any response from the cars computer.
