That's not much to go on. Start by measuring the three voltages on the back of the alternator. First measure the voltage on the large output wire, with the engine off. Next, measure it again with the engine running. Measure the voltages on the two smaller terminals, but the engine must be running for those to be valid. Let me know what you find.
