Pinpoint Test






Pinpoint Test I: DTC U1007:31

Normal Operation

The battery current sensor is a Hall-effect sensor attached to the battery ground cable. It is supplied a 5 volt reference and ground from the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM (Body Control Module) reads the battery current sensor feedback voltage to determine how much current is flowing through the battery ground cable.

- DTC U1007:31 (Lost Communication With Battery Monitoring Sensor "A": No Signal)- The BCM (Body Control Module) does not indicate current from the battery current sensor.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors

- Battery current sensor

- BCM (Body Control Module)

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes
GO to I12.
No
REPAIR circuit SDC57 (BU/OG) for an open or high resistance. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

I5 CHECK THE BCM (Body Control Module) SENSOR GROUND

- Measure the voltage between battery current sensor C1646-2, circuit RDC59 (GY/BN), harness side and battery current sensor C1646-1, circuit SDC57 (BU/OG), harness side.






Is the voltage greater than 4.7 volts?

Yes
GO to I8.
No
GO to I6.

I6 CHECK THE SIGNAL RETURN CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE

- Measure the voltage between ground and battery current sensor C1646-2, circuit RDC59 (GY/BN), harness side.






Is any voltage present?

Yes
If the voltage is 5.1 volts or less, REPAIR circuit RDC59 (GY/BN) for a short to circuit SDC57 (BU/OG). CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

If the voltage is greater than 5.1 volts REPAIR circuit RDC59 (GY/BN) for a short to voltage. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
GO to I7.

I7 CHECK THE SIGNAL RETURN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

- Ignition OFF.

- Disconnect: Body Control Module (BCM) C2280F.

- Measure the resistance between battery current sensor C1646-2, circuit RDC59 (GY/BN), harness side and BCM (Body Control Module) C2280F-14, circuit RDC59 (GY/BN), harness side.






Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes
GO to I12.
No
REPAIR circuit RDC59 (GY/BN) for an open or high resistance. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

I8 CHECK THE FEEDBACK CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

- Measure the voltage between ground and battery current sensor C1646-3, circuit LDC59 (BU/WH), harness side.






Is any voltage present?

Yes
REPAIR circuit LDC59 (BU/WH) for a short to voltage. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
GO to I9.

I9 CHECK THE FEEDBACK CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

- Ignition OFF.

- Measure the resistance between ground and battery current sensor C1646-3, circuit LDC59 (BU/WH), harness side.






Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

Yes
GO to I10.
No
REPAIR circuit LDC59 (BU/WH) for a short to ground. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

I10 CHECK THE FEEDBACK CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

- Disconnect: BCM (Body Control Module) C2280F.

- Measure the resistance between battery current sensor C1646-3, circuit LDC59 (BU/WH), harness side and BCM (Body Control Module) C2280F-21, circuit LDC59 (BU/WH), harness side.
