- 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.
- Disable the high voltage for servicing at the Drive Motor Generator Control Module Assembly cable connections. Refer to High Voltage Disabling .
- Inspect for damaged 3 phase cables between the drive motor generator power inverter control module (PIM) and the transmission.
- If damage is observed, replace the 3 phase cables.
- Remove the 3 phase cable assembly from the PIM distribution box. Refer to Generator Control Module 3-Phase Cable Assembly Replacement .
- Test the resistance of each phase by measuring between the following circuits with a DMM. You should measure 0.5 ohms or less.
- Phase U and phase V
- Phase U and phase W
- If less than the specified value replace the PIM.
- If more than the specified value continue with diagnosis.
- Disconnect the 3 phase cable assembly from the transmission. Refer to Generator Control Module 3-Phase Cable Assembly Replacement .
- Test each cable for continuity from the PIM connection terminal to the transmission connection terminal. You should measure 0.5 ohms or less.
- If more than the specified value replace the 3 phase cable assembly.
- If less than the specified value replace the drive motor generator assembly.
WARNING:
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.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
