More then likely this is either a wiring issue or the PCM has an issue on the circuit board. I understand the mechanic tested the ground but we need to know what the PCM is seeing for the charging state.
Meaning we need to hook a scan tool to see what the alternator sense circuit is reading. If we have high resistance in this circuit then the alternator will charge to what it is told to do by the control wire (brown/gray) but due to the high resistance in this red/violet wire the PCM thinks it is not charging the proper amount. So then the PCM will tell the cluster to turn the light on.

Below is the wiring diagram for us to test the wiring. We need to unhook the wire from both ends and check the resistance and it should be lower then 1 ohm.
Then we can hook it back up and check the voltage at the PCM on this wire.
Let me know if you have questions but if this is an issue we are going to have to run a new wire to correct the issue. However, if the wiring is not the issue, I suspect we are going to have to replace the PCM.
