Abstract
A rectifier package module for a vehicle and a connection status detection method for a temperature sensor thereof are provided. The rectifier package module includes at least one temperature sensor and a control chip. The control chip has an end coupled to the temperature sensor through a bonding wire. The control chip generates a current and provides a reference voltage according to a mode selection signal. The current is provided to the temperature sensor through the bonding wire. The control chip compares a voltage on the end with the reference voltage to generate a comparison result. In a test mode, a comparison circuit generates the comparison result to indicate a connection status between the end and the temperature sensor.
