Hi,
Could you provide the codes that you found? If I have them, it may help. Often times there is more than one thing that can cause a code to be set. For example, you replaced the sensor, but the problem could be in the wiring to the sensor. I can usually figure that out.
Now, the traction control and other things (air bag) may be on simply due to a low voltage issues. That includes the oil light. We need to figure that out first.
I want you to do me a favor. Remove the alternator (the bad one) and have it bench tested at auto zone. If it checks bad, request a different brand. If it checks good, we need to check wires on the vehicle.
Since you had the alt installed by a mechanic, I will provide the directions so you can do it at home. The attached pics correlate with the directions.
