2010 Cadillac Truck Escalade ESV AWD V8-6.2L Page 1420
The system contains twenty battery modules. Each module contains two 7.2 V cells for a total nominal system voltage of 288 V. Each battery
module is rated at 14.4 V direct current (DC) and all the modules are connected together in series. The drive motor generator battery is also referred
to as the hybrid battery. The drive motor generator battery control module is also referred to as the battery energy control module (BECM). The
drive motor generator battery control module monitors the hybrid battery voltage on the twenty battery modules. The drive motor generator battery
control module determines the actual terminal voltage by monitoring the output voltage from the high voltage contactors.
The drive motor generator battery control module will diagnose its own systems and determine when a fault condition is present. Diagnostics and
system status is communicated from the drive motor generator battery control module to the hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM) through
serial data. The hybrid powertrain control module is the host controller for diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* DTC P0A1F is not set.
* The ignition is ON.
* The 12 V battery voltage is 9-18 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0B3D, P0B42, P0B47, P0B4C, P0B51, P0B56, P0B5B, P0B60, P0B65, P0B6A, P0B6F, P0B74, P0B79, P0B7E, P0B83, P0B88, P0B8D,
P0B92, and P0B97
Any two consecutive hybrid battery voltages are less than 7.5 V for 1.5 seconds.
P0B9C
Hybrid battery number 20 voltage is less than 7.5 V for 1.5 seconds. DTC P0B9C only requires one voltage failure because battery 20 is the last
battery.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P0B3D, P0B42, P0B47, P0B4C, P0B51, P0B56, P0B5B, P0B60, P0B65, P0B6A, P0B6F, P0B74, P0B79, P0B7E, P0B83, P0B88,
P0B8D, P0B92, P0B97, and P0B9C are type B DTCs.
* The drive motor generator battery control module commands the battery vent fan to high speed.
* If more than 4 of these DTCs are set, the drive motor generator battery control module sends a message to the hybrid powertrain control
module to reduce the power use limit to 50 percent.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0B3D, P0B42, P0B47, P0B4C, P0B51, P0B56, P0B5B, P0B60, P0B65, P0B6A, P0B6F, P0B74, P0B79, P0B7E, P0B83, P0B88, P0B8D,
P0B92, P0B97, and P0B9C are type B DTCs.
