DTC Descriptor

DTC P1A47
- Battery Energy Control Module Hybrid Battery Voltage Sensor Performance

Circuit/System Description

The battery energy control module (BECM) monitors the link voltage performance. If any voltage is off, this DTC will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Absolute value (Link voltage - sum of all module voltages) is greater than 5 volts.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Does not affect Hybrid Operation.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The difference between the link voltage and the sum of pack voltages decrease below threshold.

Special Tools

J 35616 GM Approved Terminal Test Kit

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.

* J-35616-65B for female terminals
* J-35616-64B for male terminals

1. Remove the generator battery disconnect control module cover.
2. Measure and record the voltage at Main Contactor Relay X2 to ground.
3. Depress and hold the service disconnect switch for 20 seconds and measure the voltage at Main Contactor Relay X1 to ground. The voltage should read the same as in step 2.

^ If no voltage was measured at Main Contactor Relay X1 with service disconnect switch depressed, replace BECM.

4. Disconnect harness connector X2 from the BECM.
5. Measure the resistance between X2 terminal 1 and Main Contactor Relay X1.Should measure 700-800 ohms.

^ If not within specified range, replace the harness assembly.

6. If all circuits tests normal, replace BECM.
