P0515 – Battery Temperature Sensor System MMC L200 IV

 Posted by  Posted on September 28, 2020

OPERATION

  • A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the battery temperature sensor output terminal (terminal No. 2) from the engine-ECU (terminal No. 39).
  • The power voltage is earthed to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 155) from the battery temperature sensor (terminal No. 3).

    • FUNCTION

  • The battery temperature sensor converts the battery temperature into a voltage and inputs the signal to the engine-ECU.
  • In response to the signal, the engine-ECU controls charging and discharging.
  • The battery temperature sensor is a kind of resistor, which has characteristics to reduce its resistance as the battery temperature rises. Therefore, the sensor output voltage varies with the battery temperature, and becomes lower as the battery temperature rises.

    • TROUBLE JUDGEMENT

  • Battery positive voltage is 8 – 16 V.
  • 2 seconds later after the ignition switch has been in “ON” position or the engine has started up.
  • The battery temperature sensor output voltage is more than 4.88 V.
  • The battery temperature sensor output voltage is less than 0.99 V.

    • PROBABLE CAUSES

  • Failed battery temperature sensor
  • Open/short circuit or harness damage in battery temperature sensor circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU
