Current sensor on the Cruze?

Following up on this post:

I just browsed the Channel list in HP tuners, did not come across anything in regards to current.

Next I looked up the schematic and confirmed the small wire off the negative terminal and of course the [Battery Current Sensor]:

I came across this while researching BAS systems for work:

Not your father’s charging system | Search Autoparts

"The current sensor looks a lot like an inductive amp clamp’s jaws permanently installed around the battery cable. Typically mounted close to the battery, these sensors show up in two versions: stand-alone (SARVC) and non-stand-alone (RVC) models. The stand alone has its own logic functions. Acting in concert with the PCM and BCM via the CAN bus, this current sensor with multiple wires actually controls the field wires connected to the voltage regulator in the alternator."

"The real magic of GM’s RVC as opposed to other PCM-controlled smart charge systems is the use of the current sensor to supplement the “intel” for charging. If the vehicle knows just exactly what the system and the battery needs to be healthy and happy it can work harder when it needs to (slightly over 15 volts) and take it easy when it can. This taking-it-easy approach to charging voltage control allows for lower outputs from the alternator, which of course means the alternator is easier to turn. That spells a fuel economy gain. Even if the gain is very small, add it to several more changes on the vehicle to help with economy and you have some noticeable gains. Besides increasing MPG, the smart charge systems can float back to just over the 12.6-volt mark to maintain battery state of charge, thus increasing the battery’s life. Light bulb life and switch life are increased as well when the voltage levels are slightly lower."
