    1. Put the vehicle in a no load test condition. Then set the headlights to high beam, set the heater blower switch to Hi, and run the engine at 2000 rpm. Using an electrical tester and probes, measure the current.
    2. Using the Techstream, read the Data List.
      ELECTRIC POWER CONTROL

      Item Measurement Item / Display (Range) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Electrical Charge Current Current battery current value display/
      Min.: -300, Max.: 100 [A]
      Amperage value is displayed -

      OK

      Values of electrical tester and the Techstream are almost the same.

    Result:  NG

    NG 

    See step  4

    Result:  OK

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. INSPECT BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR ASSEMBLY (TEMPERATURE SENSOR VOLTAGE) 
    GTY679111Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
    1. Disconnect the A49 sensor connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A49-1 (THB) - A49-4 (E2) 20 to 30°C (68 to 86°F) 1.5 to 2.1 kΩ
      (0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F)) (0.3 to 6.0 kΩ)
      NOTE:

      The temperature shown in the inspection condition is for the area surrounding the sensor, not the sensor itself.

    Result:  NG

    NG 

    REPLACE BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [09/2015 - ] )
