Circuit/System Testing

B1516 08

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the battery current sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 1 minute. Test for less than 5 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 5-volt reference circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests, normal replace the BCM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference 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 signal circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the battery current sensor.

  1. Verify that the battery current sensor is installed securely around the negative battery cable, with the tape tab pointing away from the negative terminal on the battery.
    • If the battery current sensor is not installed correctly, remove and reinstall the sensor properly.
  2. Replace the battery current sensor.
