P0517-BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR HIGH DIAGNOSTIC TEST REFERENCE

TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 Ignition on, engine not running.
Record all DTCs and the related Freeze Frame data.
With the DRBIII®, monitor the Battery Temperature Sensor voltage.
Is the voltage above 4.9412 volts?
Yes --> Go To 2
No --> Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION SYMPTOM .
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 .
All
2 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Battery Temperature Sensor harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII® in sensors, read the Battery Temp Voltage value.
Connect a jumper wire between the (K25) Batt Temp Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor ground circuit at the Battery Temp Sensor harness connector.
Did the Battery Temp voltage value change from greater than 4.5 volts to less than 1.0 volt?
Yes --> Replace the Battery Temperature Sensor.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 .
No --> Go To 3
NOTE: Remove the jumper wire before continuing.
All
3 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the C2 and C3 PCM harness connector.
WARNING: WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING, DO NOT STAND IN A DIRECT LINE WITH THE FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS NEAR THE PULLEYS, BELTS OR FAN. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING.

Ignition on, engine not running.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (K25) Batt Temp Signal circuit at the Battery Temp Sensor harness connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes --> Repair the short to voltage in the (K118) Batt Temp Signal circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 .
No --> Go To 4
All
4 Turn the ignition off.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROBE THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS. PROBING THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS WILL DAMAGE THE PCM TERMINALS RESULTING IN POOR TERMINAL TO PIN CONNECTION. INSTALL MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS.

Measure the resistance of the (K25) Batt Temp Signal circuit from the Battery Temp Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes --> Go To 5
No --> Repair the open in the (K25) Batt Temp Signal circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 .

NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.RepairReplace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 2 .
