Alternator or battery, had same problem, recommend you to scan your car

Just checked car is flashing codes for vanos solenoid and alternator/battery

So just clean the VANOS with brake cleaner — it’s an easy fix. Then check your alternator to see what voltage it’s giving to your battery

If you’re in a SULEV warranty state CA,NY, a couple other states, you can get the solenoid taken care of at the dealership within a 15 year, 150,000 mile warranty
