Alternator output can be tested with a multimeter on the alternator terminals

Not starting

Several different codes are popping up like service stabilitrak, power steering, parking assist so , had it put on a computer and it says several different things are wrong even loss communication to the ECM but sometimes it starts and runs fine and other times won’t do anything? Put a new battery in the starter and alternator check fine! Could it be the ECM

Entre el bloque de motor y el compresor de aire acondicionado hay un cable que va sujetado al bloque. A veces se parte el cable al pegue del terminal. Ese cable es una tierra

If the starter just 'spins' it indicates a solenoid issue. You could try 'jumping' the ignition terminal to the power post on the solenoid with a screwdriver...if it still just 'spins' the solenoid is bad. If this starts the car, then it's likely just an ignition fuse. Consult your owners manual for the location as there can be multiple fuses related to the ignition system.
