alternator will not charge
The alternator in my 07 Yaris is not charging the battery . When the car is running I only getting 11.5 volts on my mulitmeter . I have check all the fuses in the charging system and all 4 are good. I installed a new alternator same problem . I also rechecked all the fuses after I installed the new alternator there all good. Any suggestions on what the problem might be

Check the large fusible links on the positive battery terminal.

CT how does one check these fusible links? Can one do visual? OR does one use an ohm meter?

For the alternator one, measuring the voltage on the large wire that connects to the alternator (with the grey plastic cover over the nut). With the engine off you should see battery voltage on that wire. If you do not, then the fusible link between the battery and alternator is blown and the alternator's output will not feed to the battery with the engine running.

ok I checked for battery voltage on the large wire that connects to the alternator (with the grey plastic cover on it) and I getting battery voltage. I also have checked all the fuses in the charging circuit ( 2 under the dash , fusible link, and the one under the hood in the fuse box) all good . I also installed a new alternator . My next step is to take my alternators to have them both checked. Could it be faulty computer system?

Also, with that in mind, check the 7.5A ALT-S fuse in the under-hood fuse panel and also the GAUGE and MET fuses in the under-dash fuse panel, as they are all involved in the voltage regulation process.

ok had the alternator tested , it was good , the gray plug is plugged in. I not sure what to do next . what else could be wrong , so far it not the fuses or the alternator , and the there are no codes are showing up besides the speed sensor which I think is do to the low power.

OK. I would verify the following:
On the small grey connector check the voltage on the white wire with the ignition off. Check the voltage on the blue and green wires with the ignition on.
