TriStar TS-45 problem

My Morningstar TriStar solar controller is charging at 16.6v. This is a 12v system and the controller is set at 14.8v. All the switches are correct. I moved the charge setting to 14v and it is charging at 16v. Any ideas as to the problem?

No, it's not in equalizing mode. I have removed the remote sensor and will see if that helps tomorrow after the batteries discharge some.
