PINPOINT TEST C: P0A94:4B, P0D32:00

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The DCDC is liquid cooled by the motor electronics cooling system that consists of a radiator, coolant hoses, and a coolant pump. The DCDC monitors its temperature internally. The DCDC requests a coolant flow speed and monitors the coolant pump status from the BECM via HS-CAN .

If the internal temperature increases higher than 81°C (178°F), P0A94:4B sets and the output current is limited until the over-temperature condition clears.

If the internal temperature becomes excessive, DTC P0D32:00 sets and the DCDC goes to standby mode ( DCDC disabled) until the over-temperature condition clears. Presence of this DTC results in CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM being displayed in the message center and the 12-volt battery discharged.

Reduced or no functionality of 12-volt systems (such as the headlamps, and HVAC blower motor) may also be noticed.

PINPOINT TEST D: P0E56:00, P0E56:13

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The DCDC monitors the high-voltage available from the high-voltage battery. If the DCDC senses high voltage of less than 120 volts for HEV and 168 volts for PHEV , it sets P0E56:00. The DCDC also compares that high-voltage reading with the high-voltage available to the ISC/ SOBDMC , which is communicated via a HS-CAN message. When the DCDC compares its available high-voltage to that available to the ISC/ SOBDMC and determines the difference to be 120 volts or more, it sets DTC P0E56:13. Both diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) result in a request the CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM message be displayed in the message center. The DCDC attempts to maintain operation. An open high-voltage, low-current fuse (located in the high voltage battery junction box) may cause the DCDC to be non-functional, resulting in the 12-volt battery eventually becoming drained. Reduced or no functionality of 12-volt systems (such as the headlamps, HVAC blower motor) may also be noticed.

PINPOINT TEST F: U3003:16

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The DCDC monitors the 12-volt battery system voltage internally at the B+ terminal of the DCDC . If the voltage drops below 10.3 volts at the B+ terminal (output of DC/DC) while the ignition is ON, the DCDC sets DTC U3003:16. The DCDC will continue to produce output current until the B+ terminal voltage is less than 8V. At that point the DCDC goes to standby mode ( DCDC disabled) and the 12-volt battery can eventually be discharged. Reduced or no functionality of 12-volt systems (such as the headlamps and HVAC blower motor) may also be noticed.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
DCDC U3003:16 Battery Voltage: Circuit Voltage Below Threshold Sets if the DCDC detects an output of less than 10.3 volts. This DTC can also be set due to an improper jump start (reverse polarity jump starting), a loose B+ connection from the 12V battery to the DCDC or due to an internal fault.
