CHARGING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P1550,P1551 and P1552

DTC Code DTC Name
P1550 Battery Current Sensor Circuit
P1551 Battery Current Sensor Circuit Low
P1552 Battery Current Sensor Circuit High

DESCRIPTION

The battery current sensor built into the generator control ECU assembly detects the amount of charge/discharge current. The generator control ECU assembly sends voltage generation instructions to the generator assembly based on this signal.

DTC No.

PROCEDURE

  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P1550, P1551 OR P1552)

    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Charging Control / Trouble Codes.

    5. Read the DTCs.

      Body Electrical > Charging Control > Trouble Codes

      Result

      Proceed to

      DTC P1550, P1551 or P1552 is output

      DTC P1550, P1551 or P1552 and other DTCs are output
      Tip:

      If any DTCs other than P1550, P1551 or P1552 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

  2. READ VALUE USING GTS (BATTERY CURRENT)

    1. Turn all of the electrical systems (headlights, blower motor, rear defogger, etc.) off.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    4. Turn the GTS on.

    5. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Charging Control / Data List / Battery Current.

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GENERATOR CONTROL ECU ASSEMBLY (BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR) - GENERATOR ASSEMBLY)

    1. Disconnect the A58 generator control ECU assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the B62 generator assembly connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)

      Tester Connection

      Condition

      Specified Condition

      A58-6 (LIN1) - B62-1 (LIN)

      Always
