P0AC0

DTC P0AC0 Hybrid Battery Pack Current Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

DESCRIPTION

DTC Detection Condition:

The battery current sensor, which is mounted on the positive cable side of the HV battery assembly, detects the amperage that flows into the HV battery. The battery smart unit inputs a voltage, which varies between 0 and 5 V in proportion to the amperage, into the IB terminal from the battery current sensor. An output voltage of the battery current sensor below 2.5 V indicates that the HV battery is being charged, and above 2.5 V indicates that the HV battery is being discharged. The HV control ECU determines the charging and discharging amperage of the HV battery based on the signals that are input to its IB terminal from the battery smart unit, and calculates the SOC (state of charge) of the HV battery through the accumulated amperage.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Monitor Strategy:

Typical Enabling Conditions:

Typical Malfunction Thresholds:

If the battery smart unit detects a malfunction in the battery current sensor, the HV control ECU illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:
- Before inspecting the high-voltage system, take safety precautions to prevent electrical shocks, such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip. After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
- After disconnecting the service plug grip, wait for at least 5 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals.

HINT: At least 5 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the w/ converter inverter assembly.
