Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The drive motor position sensor is monitored by the motor control module (MCM). The MCM monitors the angular position, speed and direction of

the drive motor generator based upon the signals of the resolver-type position sensor. The position sensor, or resolver, contains a drive coil, two

driven coils and an irregular shaped metallic rotor. The metallic rotor is mechanically attached to the shaft of the drive motor generator. At ignition

ON, the MCM outputs a 7 volt ac, 10 kHz excitation signal to the drive coil. The drive coil excitation signal creates a magnetic field surrounding

the two driven coils and the irregular shaped rotor. The MCM then monitors the two driven coil circuits for a return signal. The position of the

irregular shaped metallic rotor causes the magnetically-induced return signals of the driven coils to vary in size and shape. A comparison of the two

driven coil signals allows the MCM to determine the exact position, speed and direction of the drive motor generator.
