OBD II Trouble Code P0517: Battery Temperature Sensor Circuit High
<p>The OBD-II P0517 code is a code that is seen after scanning your vehicle’s diagnostic system. An OBD-II P0517 code means that the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjqmdPaprTRAhVX5WMKHcGwA30QFggaMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FEngine_control_unit&usg=AFQjCNGjwcrei787goicXYjCMXmSyYREcg&sig2=FToHIt_YbLwBKz4eFBqAig&bvm=bv.142059868%2Cd.cGc" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">engine control module</a> (ECM) has detected a high <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiwo7HlprTRAhVL0mMKHSLzA_QQFggaMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FVoltage&usg=AFQjCNFJrt3TiJDTE24En_RRB91dD-zyXw&sig2=2ZE9OLkgt4B9YvUjNVkjqQ&bvm=bv.142059868%2Cd.cGc" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">voltage</a> reading from the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwilqIf3prTRAhUM3WMKHS8xADcQFggaMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FAutomotive_battery&usg=AFQjCNH64BqUlbYPtKrgkWaL9L9EU-I0JA&sig2=YvGRwkxzZeWFay8fdmGn_w&bvm=bv.142059868%2Cd.cGc" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">battery temperature sensor circuit</a>. Generally the normal voltage reading that the ECM should be receiving should be around 5 volts.</p>
<p>To read the battery temperature, a 5 volt reference signal is sent from the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwixl8WDp7TRAhVJ_WMKHQrkByEQFggaMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FPulse-code_modulation&usg=AFQjCNFSPOIuENHjxusIStGoxgu2k_MgnA&sig2=S0A9yOp0jqlcSCX-JkuifQ&bvm=bv.142059868%2Cd.cGc" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">PCM</a> to the battery temperature sensor, which is grounded through the sensor return circuit. When the battery temperature increases, it decreases the sensor resistance and the ECM will receive a voltage signal that is higher. When the battery temperature decreases, the voltage signal sent to the ECM decreases.</p>
