CHARGING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P1550, P1551, 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 assembly detects the battery charge and discharge current amount. The battery current sensor assembly changes this information into a voltage signal and outputs it to the ECM. Based on this signal, the ECM sends power generation voltage commands to the generator.

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P1550 When the ignition switch is ON, the difference between the maximum and minimum current values is below 1 A for 10 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic).

  • Battery current sensor assembly

  • ECM

  • Harness or connector
P1551 When the ignition switch is ON, the battery current sensor output is below 0.2 V for 0.5 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic).

  • Battery current sensor assembly

  • ECM

  • Harness or connector
P1552 When the ignition switch is ON, the battery current sensor output is higher than 4.8 V for 0.5 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic).

  • Battery current sensor assembly

  • ECM

  • Harness or connector

  2. READ VALUE USING GTS (BATTERY CURRENT)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn off all electrical devices (headlights, blower motor, wiper, rear defogger, etc.).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.

    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.

      Charging Control
      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Battery Current Battery current / -125.0 to 124.9 A Changes in response to generator power generation amount after engine warmed up while vehicle driven -
      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Current value displayed on GTS is fixed at 0 A and does not change, or only changes by 1 A or less between -125 and 124.9 A. A
      Current value displayed on GTS changes between -20 and 0 A. B

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR ASSEMBLY - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the B53ECM connector.

    2. Disconnect the B38 battery current sensor assembly connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B53-117 (VCIB) - B38-2 (VC5) Always Below 1 Ω
      B53-118 (EIB) - B38-4 (E2)
      B53-86 (IB) - B38-3 (IB)
      B53-117 (VCIB) or B38-2 (VC5) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      B53-118 (EIB) or B38-4 (E2) - Body ground
      B53-86 (IB) or B38-3 (IB) - Body ground
