Abstract
An apparatus and a method for controlling cooling of a battery of an environment-friendly vehicle which transmits only a control condition from a BMS to a motor controller for cooling is provided. In particular, a cooling fan motor controller and the battery management system (BMS) are connected through a controller area network (CAN) communication, and a backup controller to which a backup power is supplied operates the cooling fan motor controller, when CAN communication is abnormal, to instruct a control condition for a cooling fan motor controller. As such, a stable control for a cooling fan motor for cooling the battery is provided.
