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.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0C52, P0C5D
Circuit voltage less than 0.5 volts.
P0C53, P0C5C
Circuit voltage greater than 3.0 volts.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P0C52, P0C53, P0C5C and P0C5D are Type A DTCs.
* The hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM) commands the battery energy control module (BECM) to open the high voltage contactor
relays.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0C52, P0C53, P0C5C and P0C5D are Type A DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
* The drive motor generator position sensor circuits operate at very low current. Extreme care must be taken when probing terminals and
manipulating harnesses.
* The sensor circuit loops are twisted pair with each pair covered in a foil shield. The shield circuits outside of the transmission are grounded to
a stud on the drive motor generator power inverter module (PIM) assembly.
* Ensure the drive motor generator position sensor harness shield circuits are properly grounded prior to testing.

Circuit/System Testing
Note: The drive motor generator position sensor circuits require proper circuit integrity for correct system operation. Just a few ohms of
additional circuit resistance may cause position sensor signal degradation.
* Always inspect position sensor signal connectors for proper terminal contact.
* All diagnostic connections must be made with the approved test probes to prevent the creation of poor terminal contact.
* Connectors that contain position sensor signal circuits must always be clean and dry prior to mating. Foreign material or moisture within
the connector may cause sensor signal degradation.
