Circuit/System Description
The hybrid/EV battery pack has 16 hybrid/EV battery temperature sensors. The hybrid/EV battery temperature sensors are located on the top of the hybrid/EV batteries. The temperature sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the hybrid/EV battery cell groups. The hybrid/EV battery interface control module supplies 5 V to the signal circuit and a ground for the low-reference circuit. The hybrid/EV battery temperature sensor resistance changes with battery temperature. The lower the temperature, the higher the resistance of the sensor. The higher the temperature, the lower the resistance of the sensor. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 uses the battery temperature sensors to determine the hybrid/EV battery module temperature to control the battery cooling system operation.
