2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0517 indicates that there is an issue with the circuit that controls the battery temperature sensor. This may lead to issues with the battery charging and can cause the battery to deteriorate over time.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Illuminated battery warning light

  • Reduced battery charging

  • Shortened battery life

  • Increased risk of battery failure

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty battery temperature sensor

  • Damaged wiring or connections in the circuit

  • Loose or corroded electrical connections

  • Failed engine control module (ECM)

Related Parts:

  • Battery Temperature Sensor: Batteries are temperature-sensitive and a battery's optimal operating temperature range is 40 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Battery temperature sensor monitors battery temperature during charging. If it senses a temperature variation, it orders the computer control system to change the charging rate. Problems make it hard to start car and may cause stalling

Possible Solutions:

  • Replace the battery temperature sensor

  • Check and repair any damaged wiring or connections

  • Tighten or clean any loose or corroded electrical connections

  • Replace the engine control module (ECM) if necessary
