Circuit/System Testing
Caution: To help avoid personal injury, additional precautions must be taken prior to working on the generator control module or the generator starter. After removing the 36V battery cables from the generator battery, remove both
engine wiring harness connectors from the generator control module. Wait at least 5 minutes and then remove the generator control module cover. Verify voltage levels at all 36V, 12V, and 3-phase connections, are less than 3 volts using
a DMM before proceeding.
Caution: To help avoid personal injury, be careful when working in the vicinity of the generator battery disconnect
control module. Internal components will still be live, 36V potential, even when the cover has been opened or removed.
Important: In order to avoid damaging the generator battery disconnect control module C1 and C2 connector terminals, the proper test probes should be used. The proper test probes are as follows:
• | J-35616-65B for female terminals |
• | J-35616-64B for male terminals |
P0ABC
- Verify DTC P0ABC is set as current.
- Disconnect harness connector C1 from the generator battery disconnect control module. Refer to
Hybrid Battery Service Disconnect/Connect.
- Test for less than 6.5 volts between C1 terminal 1 and terminal 12.
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the generator battery disconnect control module. |
- Test for 1.3-1.7 kohms between C1 terminal 1 and Generator Battery 1- C1.
⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the harness assembly. |
- Test for 1.3-1.7 kohms between C1 terminal 12 and Generator Battery 3- C2.
⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the harness assembly. |
P0ABD
- Verify DTC P0ABD is set as current.
- Disconnect harness connector C1 from the generator battery disconnect control module. Refer to
Hybrid Battery Service Disconnect/Connect.
- Test for less than 58.5 volts between C1 terminal 1 and terminal 12.
⇒ | If less than the specified range, replace the generator battery disconnect control module. |
- Test for 1.3-1.7 kohms between C1 terminal 1 and Generator Battery 1- C1.
⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the harness assembly. |
- Test for 1.3-1.7 kohms between C1 terminal 12 and Generator Battery 3- C2.
⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the harness assembly. |
