| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0516-769 | Battery Temperature Sensor Circuit Low |
| P0517-770 | Battery Temperature Sensor Circuit High |
DESCRIPTION
The thermistor assembly detects the auxiliary battery temperature. The resistance of the thermistor assembly built into the thermistor changes in accordance with changes in the auxiliary battery temperature. The lower the auxiliary battery temperature, the higher the thermistor assembly resistance. Conversely, the higher the temperature, the lower the resistance. The thermistor assembly is connected to the power management control ECU. A voltage of 5 V is supplied to the thermistor assembly from the THB terminal of the power management control ECU through its internal resistor R. This means that resistor R and the thermistor assembly are connected in series. The voltage at the THB terminal and the resistance value change in accordance with changes in the auxiliary battery temperature. Based on this signal, the power management control ECU reduces the charging current when the auxiliary battery temperature is high to protect the auxiliary battery.
Tech Tips
Characteristics of the thermistor assembly resistance (reference values) are as follows.
| Terminal | THB (with Connector Disconnected) |
Resistance | Ambient Temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| THB - E2 | 4.5 to 5.5 V | 3.00 to 3.73 kΩ | Approximately 10°C (50°F) |
| 1.60 to 1.80 kΩ | Approximately 25°C (77°F) | ||
| 0.80 to 1.00 kΩ | Approximately 40°C (104°F) |
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Tech Tips
Read the freeze frame data using the GTS. In the freeze frame data, some information is recorded about the vehicle conditions at the moment a malfunction occurred. This information can be helpful when troubleshooting.
After confirming that DTC P0516-769 or P0517-770 is output, use the GTS to check "Auxiliary Batt Temperature" in the Hybrid Control Data List.
| Displayed Temperature | Malfunction |
|---|---|
| -40°C (-40°F) | Open circuit or short to +B |
| 215°C (419°F) | Short circuit or short to GND |
After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and wait for 5 seconds or more.
