P0ABF When the battery current sensor is abnormal (1 or 2 trip detection)
Diagnostic trouble codes
DESCRIPTION
- The battery current sensor, which is mounted on the negative cable side of the HV battery assembly, detects the amperage that flows into the HV battery. The battery smart unit inputs a voltage, which varies between 0 and 5 V in proportion to the amperage, into the IB terminal from the battery current sensor. An output voltage of the battery current sensor below 2.5 V indicates that the HV battery is being charged, and above 2.5 V indicates that the HV battery is being discharged. The HV control ECU determines the charging and discharging amperage of the HV battery based on the signals that are input to its IB terminal from the battery smart unit, and calculates the SOC (state of charge) of the HV battery through the accumulated amperage.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If the battery smart unit detects a malfunction in the battery current sensor, the HV control ECU illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.WIRING DIAGRAM

- CAUTION:
- Before inspecting the high-voltage system, take safety precautions to prevent electrical shocks, such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip. After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
- After disconnecting the service plug grip, wait for at least 5 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals.
- Before inspecting the high-voltage system, take safety precautions to prevent electrical shocks, such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip. After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
- HINT:
- At least 5 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the w/ converter inverter assembly.
| 1. READ OUTPUT DTC (DTC P0A1F IS OUTPUT) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / DTC.
Read output DTCs. (Click here)
- Result:
- DTC P0A1F is output.

| NO | |
| 2. CHECK BATTERY PACK WIRE (BATTERY SMART UNIT - BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR) |
- CAUTION:
- Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
Remove the battery cover. (Click here)
Disconnect the B26 connector from the battery smart unit.
Disconnect the B25 HV relay assembly (battery current sensor) connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

- Standard Resistance (Check for open):
Tester Connection
Specified Condition
IB1 (B26-11) - IB (B25-3)
Below 1 Ω
GIB (B26-12) - GIB (B25-2)
Below 1 Ω
VIB (B26-10) - VIB (B25-1)
Below 1 Ω
- Standard Resistance (Check for short):
Tester Connection
Specified Condition
IB1 (B26-11) or IB (B25-3) - Body ground
10 kΩ or higher
GIB (B26-12) or GIB (B25-2) - Body Ground
10 kΩ or higher
VIB (B26-10) or VIB (B25-1) - Body Ground
10 kΩ or higher

| OK | |
| 3. INSPECT BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR |
Disconnect the B26 battery smart unit connector.
- NOTICE:
- Do not disconnect the HV relay assembly (battery current sensor) connector to check for a short in the battery current sensor by using terminals of the B26 connector (vehicle side) of the battery smart unit.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

- Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection
Specified Condition
VIB (B26-10) - IB1 (B26-11)
100 Ω or more
VIB (B26-10) - GIB (B26-12)
100 Ω or more
IB1 (B26-11) - GIB (B26-12)
100 Ω or more
|
|

| OK | |
| 4. INSPECT BATTERY SMART UNIT |
Disconnect the B26 battery smart unit connector.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

- Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection
Specified Condition
VIB (B26-10) - GIB (B26-12)
4.6 to 5.4 V
- NOTICE:
- Turning the ignition switch to the ON position with the HV relay assembly (battery current sensor) connector disconnected causes DTC P0AC2 to be detected. Use the intelligent tester to clear the DTCs.
Reconnect the battery smart unit connector.

| OK | |
| 5. INSPECT BATTERY SMART UNIT |
Disconnect the B25 battery current sensor connector from the HV relay assembly.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

- Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection
Specified Condition
IB (B25-3) - GIB (B25-2)
4.6 to 5.4 V
VIB (B25-1) - GIB (B25-2)
4.6 to 5.4 V
- NOTICE:
- Turning the ignition switch to the ON position with the HV relay assembly (battery current sensor) connector disconnected causes DTC P0AC2 to be detected. Use the intelligent tester to clear the DTCs.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

- Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection
Specified Condition
