TOKYO (AP) - A Japanese broadcaster is reporting that a sensor problem was found in one of the exchanged batteries for a Japan Airlines (JAL) Boeing 787 jet. The Boeing jets had been grounded for four months until their safety could be reconfirmed.

NHK TV says the problem emerged on Sunday in a sensor that detects overheating in the modified version of the lithium-ion batteries used in the aircraft. The batteries were encased to prevent overheating from spreading.

The report said the sensor problem did not endanger safety.

JAL offices were closed for the weekend, and officials were not immediately available for comment.
