- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the battery current sensor.
- Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door and wait 1 minute. Test for less than 5 Ξ© between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal A and ground.
- If less than 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.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests, normal replace the BCM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal C and ground.
- If less than 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.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the battery current sensor.
