DTC Descriptor
DTC P16C6 00
- Battery Charger Control Module Wake-Up Circuit Performance
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The wake up signal circuit is energized by the hybrid powertrain control module 2 to immediately activate the battery charger connected to this circuit when the body control module (BCM) signals the hybrid powertrain control module 2 that serial data is required. The battery charger monitors the wake up circuit along with the propulsion system active status serial data message. The propulsion system active status message should not be active when the wake up circuit is not high. This DTC is set when the wake up circuit is not high when the propulsion system active signal status is active.
Conditions for Running the DTC
DTC U2609 is not set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The battery charger detects a fault in the wake up circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTC P16C6 is a type A DTC.
* The control module is never signaled; therefore the specific subsystems will not function.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P16C6 is a type A DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
Short to ground may set multiple no communication codes for high speed GMLAN control modules.

Circuit/System Verification
Verify that DTC P06E4 is not set.
If the DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.
Circuit/System Testing
Danger: Always perform the High Voltage Disabling procedure prior to servicing any High Voltage component or connection. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.
The High Voltage Disabling procedure will perform the following tasks:
* Identify how to disable high voltage.
* Identify how to test for the presence of high voltage.
* Identify condition under which high voltage is always present and personal protection equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.
Before working on any high voltage system, be sure to wear the following Personal Protection Equipment:
* Safety glasses with appropriate side shields when within 50 feet of the vehicle, either indoors or outdoors.
* Certified and up-to-date Class "0" Insulation gloves rated at 1000V with leather protectors.
- Visually and functionally inspect the gloves before use.
- Wear the Insulation gloves at all times when working with the high voltage battery assembly, whether the system is energized or not.
Failure to follow the procedures exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.
Danger: This diagnostic has NOT been validated on-vehicle. Follow all safety protocol and utilize all appropriate personal protective equipment to ensure your safety. Failure to follow the procedures exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.
Note: Use the schematic to identify the control modules B+, ignition, ground, communication enable and serial data circuit terminals.
1. Perform the High Voltage Disabling procedure before proceeding with this diagnostic. Refer to High Voltage Disabling High Voltage Disabling.
2. Reconnect the 12 V battery.
3. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the T18 battery charger.
4. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the wake up circuit terminal F X1 and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K114B hybrid powertrain control module 2.
5. Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the wake up circuit terminal F X1 and ground.
• If the test lamp illuminates, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K114B hybrid powertrain control module 2.
6. If all circuits test normal, replace the T18 battery charger.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification Verification Tests after completing the diagnostic procedure.
