Causes
- Open or short in temperature sensor wiring
- Corroded, loose or damaged connector at the sensor or charger coupler
- Failed temperature sensor (thermistor or sensor element)
- Poor or missing ground or reference voltage to sensor
- Water intrusion or contamination at sensor/connector
- Intermittent connection caused by chafed wiring or connector pins
Symptoms
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or warning light illuminated
- Reduced or inhibited charging rate or charger disabled
- Charge session faults or inability to charge
- Diagnostic trouble codes related to charger or temperature circuits
- Possible fault messages about thermal management or coupler temperature
What to check
- Use a scan tool to read freeze frame and live data for sensor B and related channels
- Verify vehicle power and high-voltage system is safe and disabled per manufacturer procedures before touching harness/connectors
- Visually inspect connectors and wiring at battery charger coupler and along harness for damage, corrosion or water entry
- Backprobe the sensor connector with the sensor connected and measure signal voltage and reference voltage with key/charger in the appropriate state
- Measure sensor resistance with connector disconnected (compare to expected thermistor values or service data)
- Confirm good ground continuity from sensor ground to chassis/ECU ground
Signal parameters
- Reference voltage: typically ~5.0 V (vehicle-specific); verify with service data
- Signal voltage (expected): commonly ~0.2–4.8 V depending on temperature and vehicle; extremes near 0 V or near reference indicate short/ open
- Thermistor resistance (typical NTC example): ~10 kΩ at 25 °C (varies by sensor); consult service spec
- Open-circuit indication: very high resistance (e.g., >100 kΩ) or signal near reference voltage
- Short-circuit indication: very low resistance (e.g.,
- Sensor response: resistance should change with temperature (NTC decreases as temp rises)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve all stored codes and freeze-frame data. Note other related codes (charger, HV battery, ground faults).
- Follow safety procedures for high-voltage systems. Disable high-voltage/charger power per manufacturer instructions before disconnecting connectors.
- Perform a visual inspection of sensor B connector, wiring, and coupler for damage, corrosion, or water ingress. Repair or clean as needed.
- With vehicle/charger in the correct state for powering sensor, backprobe the sensor connector: verify reference voltage (often ~5 V) and good ground. If reference or ground missing, trace wiring to source.
- With connector disconnected, measure sensor resistance at ambient. Compare to expected value in service data. If resistance is open or short, replace sensor.
- If resistance is within spec, warm or cool the sensor (heat gun/ice pack, while observing safe practices) and confirm resistance/voltage changes appropriately. No change indicates a bad sensor or wiring issue.
- Perform continuity checks between sensor pins and the charger/module connector to locate opens/shorts. Repair wiring harness as necessary.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform a charge cycle or test procedure to verify the sensor reads within range and the code does not return.
- If wiring and sensor check OK but code persists, suspect the charger control/module input circuit. Consult module diagnostics and consider module repair/replacement.
Likely causes
- Sensor B element failed (thermistor open or shorted)
- Connector on coupler contaminated/corroded or not fully seated
- Wiring harness chafed where it flexes (short to ground or open)
- Reference 5V (or module reference) not present at sensor connector
- Poor ground return at sensor or module
Fault status
Status
