Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The hybrid battery current sensor is mounted inside the drive motor generator battery assembly. The positive high voltage cable that goes to the
positive contactor relay passes through the current sensor. The current sensor detects the amperage that flows in and out of the hybrid batteries. The
drive motor generator battery control module supplies and monitors a 5 V reference signal to the current sensor. The current sensor returns a signal
between 0 and 5 V to the drive motor generator battery control module. The current sensor signal is in proportion to the amperage going in and out
of the drive motor generator battery. A signal voltage of the current sensor greater than 2.5 V indicates that the drive motor generator battery is
being discharged and a signal voltage less than 2.5 V indicates charging. The hybrid battery current sensor has 3 measurement ranges in order to
maintain accuracy. The ranges are low, medium and high. The measurement ranges of the current sensor have some overlap with each other. The
low range measures from -22 to +22 A. The medium range measures from -52 to +52 A. The high range measures from -250 to +250 A.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The ignition is ON.
* The 12 V battery is 9-18 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0AC0
One of the following conditions exists:
* The drive motor generator battery control module detects greater than 5 A on the current sensor after a successful high voltage system power
down and after the contactors have opened.
* The drive motor generator battery control module detects an increase in total pack voltage greater than 10 V and the current sensor measures
less than a 0.5 A increase.
