Circuit/System Description
The battery current sensor is a 3-wire hall effect current sensor. The battery current sensor monitors the battery current. It directly inputs to the body control module (BCM). It creates a 5-volt pulse width modulation (PWM) signal of 128 Hz with a duty cycle of 0-100 percent. Normal duty cycle is between 5-95 percent. Between 0-5 percent and 95-100 percent are for diagnostic purposes.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | The engine is running. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a duty cycle of PWM input signal is less than 4 percent or more than 96 percent for more 33 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The DTC sets as current , no driver indication or message is displayed.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC clears as current status when the battery sensed current returns to normal range for more than 5 seconds.

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the battery current sensor.
- 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.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal A and ground.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal C and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the battery current sensor.
| ⇒ | If greater than specified range , test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | 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. |
| ⇒ | 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. |
