trouble code 9

Hey everyone. I have a toyota 7fgcu30 serial number 69449 in the shop. Propane powered with electric throttle control. The alternator isnt charging and the light shaped like a crankshaft with rotating piston is flashing me a code 9. We tried a new alternator and it still isnt charging. There is battery voltage at the charge wire , battery voltage with key off at one terminal at the three wire connector and battery voltage with key on on another wire and no voltage any time at the third wire. Can anybody tell me if the code and the charging problem are related and if so guide me in the direction to repair it. Also a code description list would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

thanks toyzilla. The black with red stripe Wire was broken about a foot and a half up the harness where it joins 3 other wires of same color. Found multiple other poor electrical repairs from the past along the way in other circuits.

white w blu stripe: B+ from alt-s fuse
yellow: from dash light (idiot light)
blak w yellow stripe (or) red stripe: key switch + after ign fuse. look at rub point on on valve cover where alt harness goes over.
all should be + with key on

easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.

The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
