Visually inspect battery pack area, sensor J connector and wiring for damage, corrosion, water, or loose pins
Check for related DTCs and freeze-frame/live-data for sensor J value and reference voltage
Measure connector pins for presence of reference supply (typically ~5 V) and ground
Check continuity and resistance of harness between sensor J and the control module
Swap or compare readings with another known-good pack sensor (if accessible and identical)

Reference supply to sensor: typically ~5 V (check vehicle spec)
Sensor output (normal): typically approx. 0.5–4.5 V depending on temperature (varies by design)
Open-circuit: sensor voltage may float toward supply rail or read out-of-range
Short-to-ground: sensor voltage near 0 V
Thermistor resistance (typical NTC examples): ~1 kΩ–100 kΩ at 25°C (consult vehicle-specific chart)

Retrieve freeze-frame and live data for battery temperature sensor J and note reported value and status.
Inspect the sensor J connector and wiring for physical damage, corrosion, bent pins, or water intrusion; repair or clean as needed.
With ignition or HV system in a safe state per manufacturer procedures, backprobe the sensor connector and measure reference voltage, sensor output voltage and ground continuity. Compare to expected values.
Measure resistance of the sensor between its signal and ground terminals with the sensor isolated; compare to the vehicle's sensor resistance vs temperature table.
Perform continuity and short tests on the wiring from sensor J to the battery/vehicle control module: check for opens, shorts-to-ground, and shorts-to-voltage.
If wiring and connectors are good, replace sensor J and retest. Use OEM or equivalent specified part.
After repairs, clear codes and perform system relearn or calibration if required by the manufacturer. Confirm correct readings in live data and re-check for fault recurrence.
If fault persists after sensor replacement and wiring verified, inspect or test the battery/vehicle control module inputs and associated pull-up/reference circuits or consult manufacturer technical service information.
