TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 NOTE:After repairing a Battery Temp DTC, the Battery Temp value will not
be refreshed until either the ignition is OFF for more than 3 hours or the
vehicle is driven above 10 MPH for more than 10 minutes.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIIIt, read the Battery Temp Sensor voltage.
Is the voltage below 0.1 volt?
All
Yes → Go To 2
No → Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION symptom in the
Driveability category.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-5-NGC.
2 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Battery Temp Sensor harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIIIt, read Battery Temp Sensor voltage.
Does the Battery Temp Sensor voltage read approximately 5.0 volts?
All
Yes → Replace the Battery Temperature Sensor.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-5-NGC.
No → Go To 3
