Causes
- Open or short in sensor wiring
- Poor or corroded connector at sensor or control module
- Faulty temperature sensor (thermistor)
- Water intrusion or physical damage to harness
- Faulty charging control module or PCM input circuit
- Incorrect sensor installed or out-of-spec replacement
Symptoms
- Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or battery/charging warning illuminated
- Charge system limited or disabled (reduced charging performance)
- Stored DTC for charger temperature sensor circuit
- Incorrect or fixed temperature reading (very high/low or no change)
- Possible limp-home mode or reduced charger power
What to check
- Retrieve DTCs and freeze frame data; note conditions when code set
- Visual inspection of sensor, connector, and wiring for damage, corrosion, or water
- Check for multiple related DTCs that indicate common wiring or module faults
- Backprobe connector and measure reference voltage, signal voltage and ground with key on (follow HV safety if applicable)
- Measure sensor resistance at ambient and while heating/cooling sensor to confirm thermistor response
- Perform continuity and resistance checks from sensor connector to charger control module connector
Signal parameters
- Sensor type: typically a thermistor (temperature-dependent resistor)
- Signal behavior: resistance decreases as temperature rises (NTC) or increases for PTC—consult service data
- Signal voltage: typically a low-voltage signal returned to the charger/PCM via a voltage divider (expected range ~0.1–5.0 V; verify factory spec)
- Typical checks: open circuit (very high/OL resistance), short to ground (signal near 0 V), short to battery (signal near battery voltage)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Verify the DTC: clear codes, operate vehicle under same conditions, confirm P0EE7 returns.
- Record freeze frame/live data: note displayed temperature, signal voltage, and reference voltage when fault set.
- Visually inspect the sensor and harness: look for breaks, chafing, heat damage, corrosion, or moisture.
- With ignition ON (engine off) backprobe connector: measure sensor signal, reference and ground. Compare to service values; note if signal is stuck high/low or fluctuating.
- Check sensor resistance: disconnect sensor and measure resistance across sensor terminals at known ambient temperature. Apply heat/cold (heat gun/ice) and confirm resistance changes accordingly.
- Perform continuity and short tests: check for continuity between sensor signal and module pin, and for shorts to ground or battery voltage using an ohmmeter or directed voltage tests.
- If wiring and connector are good but sensor fails response or is out of spec, replace temperature sensor and retest.
- If new sensor still faults, inspect/replace connector or repair wiring; if wiring repairs don’t fix it, consider replacing or repairing the charging control module input circuit per manufacturer procedures.
- After repairs clear the code and confirm proper operation under conditions that originally set the code.
Likely causes
- Broken wire or terminal in harness to Temperature Sensor B
- Connector pins pushed out, bent, corroded, or contaminated
- Sensor thermistor failed (open or shorted)
- Short to battery voltage or chassis ground on signal or reference wire
- Control module input circuit damaged
Fault status
Status
Battery Charger Coupler Temperature Sensor B Circuit — open/short or invalid signal detected in sensor B. Inspect wiring, connector, and sensor; replace parts as required.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.0 hours
