CHARGING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0516, P0517

DTC Code DTC Name
P0516 Battery Temperature Sensor Circuit Low
P0517 Battery Temperature Sensor Circuit High

DESCRIPTION

The battery temperature sensor detects the battery temperature. The battery current sensor assembly has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that changes in response to changes in the battery temperature. When the battery temperature is low the thermistor resistance increases, and when the temperature is high the resistance decreases. The battery temperature sensor is connected to the power management control ECU. A 5 V power supply voltage is supplied to the battery temperature sensor from terminal THB of the power management control ECU via resistor R. As resistor R and the battery temperature sensor are connected in series, when the resistance changes in response to changes in the battery temperature, the electric potential at terminal THB also changes. Based on this signal, the power management control ECU protects the battery by reducing the charge current when the battery temperature is high.
