Circuit/System Testing

B1516 08

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the battery current sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5.0 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than specified range , test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the sensor supply voltage circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If less than the specified range , test the sensor supply voltage circuit terminal A for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test normal, replace the BCM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the sensor supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests, normal replace the BCM.
  4. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the sensor signal circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the sensor signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test normal, replace the BCM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the sensor signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the battery current sensor.
