DTC Descriptor
DTC P16F5
- Control Module Programmable Logic Device
Circuit/System Description
This diagnostic applies to internal microprocessor integrity conditions within the hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM). The HPCM and each
Motor Control Module (MCM) utilize a programmable logic device (PLD) to perform certain input and output functions. The HPCM monitors the
ability of the PLD to perform these functions.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The control module runs the program to detect an internal fault when the key is ON.
* Ignition voltage is 8-18 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The control module has detected an internal PLD malfunction.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTC P16F5 is a Type A DTC.
* The HPCM commands the battery energy control module (BECM) to open the high voltage contactor relays.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P16F5 is a Type A DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent loss of battery power to the drive motor generator power inverter module assembly (PIM) may set this DTC.
