Loose connection (Battery Terminals, Voltage Regulator). If none of these Voltage Regulator or Alternator may be dying. I'd also have a look in your transfer case and make sure you compensator isn't loose or showing signs of dying.

Pulled codes, read low voltage here and there and throttle position sensor.
tightened all connections at battery etc, checked all fuses spray cleaned all harness connections etc. Started up and seems OK but is now at 1K rpm idle.
Taking it out in the morning and ride.

If you are showing TPS codes check the connection right at the Throttle Body behind the AC. Common problem with the Throttle-By-Wire. There's a factory TP out on this as well it is dealt with in the 09 maintenance manual.
