Battery Current Sensor

The battery current sensor is a serviceable component that is connected to either the negative or positive battery cable at the battery. The battery current sensor is a 3-wire hall effect current sensor. The battery current sensor monitors the battery current. It directly inputs to the BCM. It creates a 5-volt pulse width modulation (PWM) signal of 128 Hz with a duty cycle of 0 - 100 percent. Normal duty cycle is between 5 - 95 percent. Between 0 - 5 percent and 95 - 100 percent are for diagnostic purposes.
