With motor running testing at battery and at alternator showing low voltage like motor is not running

Any ideas anyone

Check for battery voltage at the Alternator field wire gray/wht. if no voltage proceed below.
Check the ASD relay in the power distribution box (swap with a simmilar one in the box). Check voltage on pins in the Power distribution box and the 30 amp fuse # 4.
Below is a diagram to help find the problem.
