Battery Current Sensor: Testing and Inspection

Power Generation Voltage Variable Control System Operation Inspection

CAUTION:
- For this model, the battery current sensor that is installed to the battery cable at the negative terminal measures the charging/discharging current of the battery, and performs various controls. If the electrical component or the ground wire is connected directly to the battery terminal, the current other than that being measured with the battery current sensor is charging to or discharging from the battery. This condition causes the malfunction of the control, and then the battery discharge may occur. Never connect the electrical component or the ground wire directly to the battery terminal.
- When performing this inspection, always use the charged battery that completed the battery inspection. (When the charging rate of the battery is low, the response speed of the voltage change will become slow. This is a cause of an incorrect inspection.)
