Battery Temperature Sensor Circuit High

30 brands affected · Generic SAE J2012 description.

Key terms: SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

Safety: This code relates to the battery temperature. A hot or poorly cooled battery can lose power, and a damaged battery carries a fire risk.

1What it means in plain English

This range covers vehicle speed, idle and oil-pressure control, charging-system voltage, and brake-switch circuits.

2Common causes

  1. Carbon build-up in the throttle body
  2. Faulty idle air control valve
  3. Faulty vehicle speed sensor
  4. Faulty charging system or weak battery
  5. Wiring or connector fault

3Can I drive?

Caution · drive with care

Watch for a battery temperature warning. If the warning is on, stop safely and let the battery cool; do not charge a hot battery and have it checked.

This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
