| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0516 | Battery Temperature Sensor Circuit Low |
| P0517 | Battery Temperature Sensor Circuit High |
DESCRIPTION
The battery thermometer sensor installed on the battery current sensor assembly detects battery temperature.
A thermistor is integrated into the battery thermometer sensor, and the resistance in the battery thermometer sensor changes according to the battery temperature.
The resistance of the thermistor in the battery thermometer sensor decreases as the battery temperature increases. The resistance increases as the temperature decreases.
The battery thermometer sensor is connected to the ECM. The ECM supplies 5 V from the THB terminal to the battery thermometer sensor through resistor R.
The battery thermometer sensor and resistor R are connected in series. This results in fluctuations in the voltage supplied from the THB terminal when the resistance changes according to the battery temperature.
The ECM determines the battery temperature according to fluctuations in voltage. When the battery temperature is high, the ECM determines to reduce the amount of current supplied from the generator in order to protect the battery.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0516 | Battery thermometer sensor output value is 0.2 V or less for 0.5 seconds or more with the engine switch on (IG) (1 trip detection logic) |
|
| P0517 | Battery thermometer sensor output value is 4.8 V or more for 0.5 seconds or more with the engine switch on (IG) (1 trip detection logic) |
