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

A005H4XE10

The battery current sensor assembly installed on the negative (-) battery terminal detects the amount of current supplied from the generator.

The battery current sensor assembly changes current to voltage (at the negative (-) battery terminal) and sends it to the ECM. The ECM controls the voltage of the generator based on the signals from the battery current sensor assembly.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P1550

Difference between the maximum and minimum current values of the battery current sensor is less than 1 A for 10 seconds or more with the ignition switch ON

(1-trip detection logic)

  • Battery current sensor assembly

  • Short in battery current sensor circuit

  • ECM
P1551

Battery current sensor output value is less than 0.2 V for 0.5 seconds or more with the ignition switch ON

(1-trip detection logic)

  • Battery current sensor assembly

  • Open or short to GND in battery current sensor circuit

  • ECM
P1552

Battery current sensor output value is more than 4.8 V for 0.5 seconds or more with the ignition switch ON

(1-trip detection logic)

  • Battery current sensor assembly

  • Short to +B or VC in battery current sensor circuit

  • ECM

PROCEDURE


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


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the intelligent tester on.

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

    5. Read the DTC.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      DTC P1550, P1551 and P1552 are output A
      DTC P1550, P1551, P1552 and other DTCs are output B

      Tech Tips

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

  2. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (BATTERY CURRENT)


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

    2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    4. Turn the intelligent tester on.

    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Battery Current.

  3. INSPECT BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR ASSEMBLY


    1. A005LERE29
      Text in Illustration
      *a

      Component without harness connected

      (Battery Current Sensor Assembly)

      Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

    2. Disconnect the A31 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
      2 (VC5) - 4 (E2) Always 0.1 to 10 kΩ
      2 (VC5) - 3 (IB) Always Below 0.5 kΩ
      3 (IB) - 4 (E2) Always 0.05 to 10 kΩ

    4. Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
