battery current sensor
How is the battery current sensor replaced on a `06 impala lta - 3.9L engine?
does the B+ cable have to be removed from the starter?
The answer is YES the battery cables, both positive and negative must be removed to replace the current sensor. This is the correct procedure to replace the current sensor. Most simply cut off the positive battery cable end and install an "emergency" cable end - nothing like setting yourself up for voltage drops! YIKES . Total time to remove, disassemble the cables from the loom covering, remove and install new current sensor and reassemble cables into loom cover and tape is about 45 minutes. What happened to the old sensor from the factory was it had rested against the battery case, and the end of the senor corroded away the plastic to the point of exposing the electronic circuit board and voila, short and light and message came on. Good luck to all.
That's exactly where mine was. My battery is in battery saver mode but the codes popped for evap purge solenoid and also the vent canister. I've replaced both and taking my battery in to get replaced. I appreciate this information. Martin F U.S.ARMY RETIRED
4 months later I'm still having the same issue. The car has shut off twice in 4 days while driving. I did a wire tuck with the harness and shortened the negative cable and I'm about to replace the positive side from the fuse box to battery. I still haven't got the answer I need. Does the sensor attach to the negative cable or positive cable?.
My 2014 Impala has a battery current sensor on the negative cable.
