Parasitic Draw

When battery sensor signal fault occurs, inspect the vehicle parasitic draw in advance after inspecting the sensor because the sensor will behave abnormally when the parasitic draw is more than 100mA.

If the parasitic current is over the limit value, search for abnormal circuit by removing a fuse one by one and checking the parasitic current.

Reconnect the suspected parasitic current draw circuit fuse only and search for suspected unit by removing a component connected with the circuit one by one until the parasitic draw drops below limit value.

Limit value (after 10 - 20 min.) Below 50mA
