Sounds like Your ECU might be having issues. Does it give an error when you try to read it or does it just show nothing?

The battery light indicates a charging system problem. If the alternator isn't putting out enough voltage it can make the ECM/PCM act weird or ruin it. First thing to do is to test to see if the alternator is bad.

How, specifically, was the alternator checked? Just because it's charging the battery doesn't mean it's working right.

Download the manual and diagnose for a bad ECM/PCM if the alternator is ok.

EDIT: Are all your grounds good?

Or you can get a full download, CD, or used paper manual for pretty cheap on eBay

Or you might find one on craigslist

Or you can get a new paper one here: http://www.helminc.com/helm/homepage.asp?
