| STEP | CHECK | YES | NO |
1.CHECK CURRENT DATA.
1) Start the engine.
2) Read the value of «Battery current value» using the Subaru Select Monitor.
NOTE:
For detailed operation procedures, refer to “Current Data Display For Engine”. Subaru Select Monitor">
Is the value of «Battery current value» 100 A or more?
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P1531 BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH">Go to Step 2.
Even if DTC is detected, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.
NOTE:
In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
2.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from the battery current sensor.
3) Start the engine.
4) Read the value of «Battery current value» using the Subaru Select Monitor.
NOTE:
For detailed operation procedures, refer to “Current Data Display For Engine”. Subaru Select Monitor">
Is the value of «Battery current value» 100 A or more?
Repair the short circuit to power in the harness between ECM connector and battery current sensor connector.
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P1531 BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH">Go to Step 3.
3.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Measure the resistance of the harness between the battery current sensor connector and engine ground.
Connector & terminal
(B538) No. 2 — Engine ground:
Is the resistance less than 5 ??
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P1531 BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH">Go to Step 4.
Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following item:
• Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and battery current sensor connector
• Poor contact of joint connector
4.CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT.
Check for poor contact of the battery current sensor connector.
Is there poor contact of the battery current sensor connector?
Repair the poor contact of the battery current sensor connector.
Replace the battery current sensor. Battery Current & Temperature Sensor">
1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect the open or short circuit of battery current sensor.
Judge as NG if out of specification.
