Are you 100% you wired up the alternator properly?

im sure theres a postive, a earth to the block and then a ++ wire that tells the ECU its charging or something.

Would recommend the search option or enquire to citreon.

Look. If you can't put the effort into typing english.
I'm not putting the effort into using the search functions to find you a solution.

Much better.
I don't think the print out will show an error.

I think it is down to an earthing point somewhere not returning the supply from the dashboard unit.

But thats a big guess.
