The motor temperature parameter should be between 0.29V and 4.42V.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the transmission X176 24-way harness connector.

Important: The ignition must be ON to test the low reference circuit. Other DTCs will set with the X176 connector disconnected.

2. Ignition ON, test the vehicle harness side for less than 8 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal and ground.

瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PIM.

3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool motor temperature sensor parameter is greater than 4.42V.

瀚慖f less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PIM.

4. Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal and the low reference circuit terminal. Verify the scan tool motor

temperature sensor parameter is less than 0.29V.

Important: If a short to voltage is found, test the motor temperature sensor for damage.

瀚慖f greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal,

replace the PIM.

5. Connect the DT-48493 to the X176 transmission 24-way connector at the transmission. Measure and record the resistance between the sensor

signal and low reference terminals. Compare the actual sensor and circuit resistance to the expected sensor resistance. Refer to Temperature

Versus Resistance ().

瀚慖f the resistance is near the expected value, test the transmission internal harness signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests

normal, replace the drive motor w/generator.

瀚慖f the resistance is not near the expected value, test the transmission internal harness signal and low reference circuits for an open or

shorted together condition. If the circuits test normal, replace the drive motor w/generator.

DTC Descriptor

DTC P0A35

- Drive Motor 2 Overtemperature

Circuit/System Description

The transmission contains two electric motor generators. The drive motor generators are cooled by the transmission fluid. Hot fluid exits the drive
