Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, headlamps and all accessories OFF, observe the scan tool BCM Battery Current parameter. The reading should be between -5 amps
and -25 amps, and change with the amount of current draw on the battery.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool BCM Battery Voltage parameter. The reading should be equal to B+ voltage.
瀚慖f not the specified value, test the following BCM circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
* B+ circuit terminal 3 X3
* Ground circuit terminal 1 X3
* Ground circuit terminal 5 X3
* Ground circuit terminal 9 X4
2. Verify that the current sensor is mounted correctly on the 12V battery cable. The sensor should be installed with the internal coil around the
negative battery cables, with the tape tab pointing away from the battery.
瀚慖f the sensor is not installed correctly, remove and reinstall the sensor.
3. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the battery current sensor.
4. Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 1 minute. Test for less than 5 ohms between the low
reference circuit terminal B and ground.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
5. Ignition ON, test for 4.5-5.5 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal A and ground.
瀚慖f not within the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests
normal, replace the BCM.
6. Ignition ON, test for 4.5-5.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal C and ground.
瀚慖f not within the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace
the BCM.
7. If all circuits test normal, replace the battery current sensor.
