Temperature Sensor Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra and 2009 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Safety glasses with appropriate side shields when within 50 feet of the vehicle, either indoors or outdoors
- Certified and up-to-date Class "0" Insulation gloves rated at 1000V with leather protectors
- Visually and functionally inspect the gloves before use.
- Wear the Insulation gloves at all times when working with the high voltage battery assembly, whether the system is energized or not.
- Ignition OFF, disable the high voltage at the drive motor generator battery. Refer to High Voltage Disabling .
- Remove the drive motor generator battery cover. Refer to Drive Motor Battery Case Upper Cover, Front Cover, and Right Side Cover Replacement .
- Allow the batteries to cool.
- Unclip and remove all four hybrid battery temperature sensors from the batteries and allow them to stand at room air temperature for approximately 3 minutes.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 connector at the GBCM.
- Test the resistance across each temperature sensor 5 V reference and low reference circuits. Refer to Temperature Versus Resistance
. All sensors should measure within 500 Ω of each other.
- If greater than 500 Ω, replace the drive motor battery sensor module wiring harness assembly.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the drive motor generator battery control module.
WARNING:
Before working on any high voltage system, be sure to wear the following Personal Protection Equipment:
Failure to follow the procedure exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.
