[QUOTE="Petras, post: 360197, member: 216"] For the most part, a n alternator with a voltage draw like a short isn't going to show up on a code reader. Depending on the vehicle, an alternator that isn't properly charging MIGHT show up as a low voltage fault... on an older vehicle like this, I'd bet it won't. a simple drive to the local parts house and ask them to test if the alternator is charging will clear up any questions about that. should only take about 5 minutes. Or, if you happen to have a voltmeter you can check it yourself real easily... this video gives a quick easy option for testing the alternator for a short at home if you ahve a volt meter...
