Circuit/System Testing

B1516 08 

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