What does the temperature sensor on a jeep do?

Also the temperature input is used to enable or disable certain OBDII faults. The voltage of 13V is indeed a bit too low, however a fully charged battery only has 12.6V, so with 13V there is stil a (low) charging current and the battery will not be depleted, however charging will take longer. it away from the battery.

What should the voltage be on a jeep battery?

Sounds strange that the voltage is dropping that much though, mine never leaves 14V when running regardless of accessories being on/off, normally sits at 14.4V though. As far as i remember, you have to remove the tray to get the sensor out. Not sure if you would be able to disconnect the connector without removing the tray.

Why is the alternator on my Jeep not charging?

Looks like the field coil of the alternator isn’t getting power. There are 3 wires attached to the alternator. One is a big fat wire that goes to the battery, this is the alternator output. The other two wires feed power to the field coil.
