If the car starts on the Jumper Cables then Dies shortly after they are removed, it's the Alternator Circuit. Check the Fuse, the connector next to the O2 Connector. and the voltage coming out of the Alternator. Should be 13.5 to 14.0 volts. You can check the battery voltave with the OBC, which includes the output of the Alternator, on TEST 09.

Probably the voltage regulator in the Alternator which costs about $25.00.
