Ignition OFF. Disconnect BCM C2280F. Measure:

Click to display connectors

Positive Lead

Measurement / Action

Negative Lead

C1646-3

Ground

Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

Yes

GO to I12

No

REPAIR the circuit.

I12 CHECK THE BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR FEEDBACK CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

Measure:

Click to display connectors

Positive Lead

Measurement / Action

Negative Lead

C1646-3

C2280F-8

Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?

Yes

GO to I13

No

REPAIR the circuit.

I13 CHECK THE BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR FEEDBACK CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO THE SIGNAL RETURN OR REFERENCE CIRCUIT

Measure:

Click to display connectors

Positive Lead

Measurement / Action

Negative Lead

C1646-3

C1646-1

C1646-3

C1646-2

Are the resistances greater than 10,000 ohms?

Yes

GO to I14

No

REPAIR the affected circuit.

I14 CHECK THE BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR CONNECTION

Ignition OFF. Disconnect Battery Current Sensor C1646, if necessary. Inspect the battery current sensor connector for:

corrosion (install new connector or terminals – clean module pins) damaged or bent pins – install new terminals/pins pushed-out pins – install new pins as necessary

Connect Battery Current Sensor C1646. Connect BCM C2280F. Ignition ON. Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) in all modules. Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the BCM self-test.

Did the DTC return?

Yes

REPAIR as necessary or INSTALL a new battery current sensor. REFER to: Battery Current Sensor (414-01 Battery, Mounting and Cables, Removal and Installation). CLEAR the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). REPEAT the self-test. If the DTC returns, GO to I15

No

The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.

I15 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
