Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The motor temperature sensor (MTS) is a non-serviceable part of the drive motor generator assembly. The MTS sensor is a thermistor, or a resistor
that changes value when the temperature changes. The sensor has a negative-temperature coefficient. This means that as the temperature increases,
the resistance decreases, and as the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. The motor control module (MCM) supplies about a 5-volt
reference signal to the sensor and measures the voltage drop in the circuit. When the motor is cold, the sensor resistance is high and the MCM
detects high signal voltage. As the motor temperature increases, the resistance of the sensor decreases, which lowers the signal voltage.
