P1553 BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR EC-1279 < DTC/CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS > [VQ40DE FOR MEXICO] C D E F G H I J K L M A EC N P O P1553 BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR Component Description INFOID:0000000009481942 The power generation voltage variable control enables fuel con- sumption to be decreased by reducing the engine load which is caused by the power generation of the generator. The battery cur- rent sensor is installed to the battery cable at the negative terminal. The sensor measures the charging/discharging current of the bat- tery. Based on the sensor signal, ECM judges whether or not the power generation voltage variable control is performed. When per- forming the power generation voltage variable control, ECM calcu- lates the target power generation voltage based on the sensor signal. And ECM sends the calculated value as the power genera- tion command value to IPDM E/R. For the details of the power gen- eration voltage variable control, refer to . CAUTION: Never connect the electrical component or the ground wire directly to the battery terminal. The con- nection causes the malfunction of the power generation voltage variable control, and then the battery discharge may occur. On Board Diagnosis Logic INFOID:0000000009481943 The MIL will not illuminate for this diagnosis. NOTE: If DTC P1553 is displayed with DTC P0643, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0643. Refer to . DTC Confirmation Procedure INFOID:0000000009481944 NOTE: If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following before conduct- ing the next step. 1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds. 2. Turn ignition switch ON. 3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds. TESTING CONDITION: Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 8V at idle. EC-1279, "Diagnosis Procedure" Diagnosis Procedure INFOID:0000000009481945 1. CHECK GROUND CONNECTIONS 1. Turn ignition switch OFF. 2. Loosen and retighten three ground screws on the body.
