No, the small wires go directly to the PCM. The S terminal is not even used. The engine computer controls of the charging system on these trucks. The two little wires are "F" (gray) and "L" (brown). The PCM uses a duty cycle on the field circuit to control output. The "L" circuit is simply for charge indicator.
Sadly a lot of vehicles have moved to PCM controlled alternators some for a long time, it sure complicates matters when trying to decide if the PCM could be the problem or not. Diagnosis should include testing the PCM for codes and tracing wires from alt to pcm, but more than likely its the alternator that is the problem, as easy as it is to remove I would have them double check it. After that its time to test wiring.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
