Harpo, the alternator should charge the battery at between 12.8 and 13.2 volts. 13.6 and 17.5 are both too high. Your original description says nothing about replacing the PCM fixing that, other than "everything checked out great."
The PCM being hot means that most likely there is a short inside the PCM somewhere. It could be a short in the wiring going to the PCM or the connector, but that is unlikely.
