Question
What causes EV battery temperature sensor "drift" and how to calibrate it?
Answer
Drift comes from thermal aging; calibration requires comparing with redundant sensors and adjusting offset values.
Explain
EV battery packs use 2-4 redundant temperature sensors per module. CHEPQ EV tools cross-reference readings (e.g., primary sensor reads 25℃, redundant reads 27℃) to calculate drift, then guide technicians to adjust the sensor’s offset via BMS programming—preventing overcharging due to underreported temperatures.
