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.
• | The ignition is ON. |
• | The engine is running. |
The BCM detects a duty cycle of PWM input signal is less than 4 percent or more than 96 percent for more 33 seconds.
The DTC sets as current , no driver indication or message is displayed.
The DTC clears as current status when the battery sensed current returns to normal range for more than 5 seconds.

⇒ | If greater than the 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 supply voltage 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 supply voltage 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. |
