New battery & Alternator causing Trans. Failsafe Prog

I recently replaced my alternator, and bought a new battery (today).

I am un-abled to clear the "Trans. Failsafe Prog" mode, which means it drives in limp mode. I have a feeling its' all related to electricity. It logs the P0102 fault via my ODB2 reader.

I'm very new, so may have missed something basic
  • My voltage at ignition position 1 & 2 is 11.9v.
  • At running (idle) it's 13.6v (shows that read for 5 seconds, the the Trans. Failsafe comes on).
  • I cleared the Fault ECU codes, but the Trans Failsafe immediately comes back. (sensor airflow pending fault). This is at position 2, idling, and while driving.

Maybe unrelated, but...
  • If I unplug the MAF sensor while the engine is running, the engine keeps running.
  • I just tried to plug a cigarette USB port into the socket- it sparked and stopped working (the USB). I tried another USB (very briefly) and it made a whining noise, so I unplugged it immediately...
  • I hear this clicking/ticking sound from the passengers side (in Australia, so LHD) which is the rear passenger window trying to go up (by itself!). Here is a video of how it sounds

What can I do to remove this Trans. Failsafe error?

Please help out with any suggestions.
