Abstract
A current sensor fault detection system is disclosed which enables detection of a current sensor fault while the current sensor is operating and providing a current sensor output which is within a normal operating range. The current sensor is monitored by at least one controller which compares a change in battery state of charge error with a predetermined threshold. The change in battery state of charge error is a difference between a first change in battery state of charge calculated by integrating battery current with respect to a time and a second change in battery state of charge calculated based on the battery open circuit voltage during the time.
