The battery voltage sensor converts the HV battery related signals (voltage, current, and temperature) into digital signals, and transmits them to the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly via serial communication. These signals are needed to determine the charge or discharge values that are calculated by the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly.
A leakage detection circuit is provided in the battery voltage sensor in order to detect any electrical leakage from the HV battery or high voltage circuit. Also, the battery voltage sensor detects the feedback voltage from the battery cooling blower assemblies, which is needed by the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly to perform cooling fan control. The battery voltage sensor converts these signals into digital signals and transmits them to the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly via serial communication.
