1) check battery voltage
2) start engine and re-check
3) remove 3 pin plug and check again

clear fault codes with diagnostic tool if output checks out OK

The "smart" alternator will work as a standard alternator if you remove the 3 pin plug. (genuine one only NOT spurious)

One of the wires to the three pin plug breaks give them a pull test.
