Monitored & Set Conditions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Battery Temperature sensor circuit is monitored with the ignition on and no battery temperature sensor open or short faults present. DTC sets after 5 warm cycles have occurred. A warm cycle occurs when coolant increases at least 40°F (22°C) to a minimum of 160°F (71°C), the odometer mileage has increased 196.6 miles, and the battery temperature has changed less than 7.2°F (4°C). This is a one-trip fault.
