I just wanted to provide an update.

The advisor at Toyota said that the technician ruled out the issue being anything electrical. He is still insisting that my recurring alternator problems are the result of not using a Toyota alternator. He claims that they see this happen all the time and that he can more or less guarantee that my new alternator will not prematurely die like the other four aftermarket ones did.

Honestly, at this point, I’m just trying to keep my Yaris for a few more years until someone releases a compact EV that I see as a suitable replacement - so hopefully I won’t run into anymore of these alternator issues since I’m at the point where any repairs I invest exceed the actual value of the vehicle.
