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. They hybrid powertrain control module is the host controller for diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The ignition is ON.
* The 12 V battery voltage is 9-18 V.
* High voltage contactors are closed.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTCs P0B3C, P0B41, P0B46, P0B4B, P0B50, P0B55, P0B5A, P0B5F, P0B64, P0B69, P0B6E, P0B73, P0B78, P0B7D, P0B82, P0B87,
P0B8C, P0B91, P0B96
The voltage of any two consecutive batteries multiplied by 20 is 70 V greater than or less than the total pack voltage for 16 seconds.
DTC P0B9B
The voltage of battery 20 multiplied by 20 is 70 V greater than or less than the total pack voltage for 16 seconds. DTC P0B9B 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 sends a message to the hybrid powertrain control module to reduce the
power use limit to 50 percent.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0B3C, P0B41, P0B46, P0B4B, P0B50, P0B55, P0B5A, P0B5F, P0B64, P0B69, P0B6E, P0B73, P0B78, P0B7D, P0B82, P0B87, P0B8C,
P0B91, P0B96, and P0B9B are type B DTCs.
