Had a weird one today while out in the Sagaris.

Dash alarm that voltage had dropped to 12.1 volts. It disapperared after 2-3 seconds.. then came back for abt 20 seconds.. then disappeared and didn't come back all day.

Checked 100amp fuse, altenator wiring (exciter and main cable).. all checked out.

Does anyone know where the dash ECU senses 12v from. Is there a special input... or maybe it checks the 12v supply to the dash ECU?

From the fuse board (on the ECU supply) fed from the cable in the PS footwell (have you checked this fuse?) that is run from the battery.
