The alternator pully should be checked. Place a pen or small plastic tool in the gap on the front of the alternator to prevent the pulley from spinning to the right (clockwise). If after inserting the pen or tool, the pulley can spin in both directions, then pulley is bad and the alternator needs to be replaced. If the pulley spins only to left (counterclockwise) with a tool/pen, the alternator pulley is not the issue. If no issues are found, follow the standard DTC flow chart to root cause and repair the concern. This document does not authorize warranty repairs.
