Don't need to open the hood. Just take all your keys and fobs and place them on the drivers seat. Need to make sure they are all in one place so no stray signals impact the test. Close both windows and doors and manually lock them both using the door locks. Close them and go to the front of the car. If you hear a beep then the alternator is fine. If not you need to replace it.
