- Verify no HPCM or engine control module (ECM) DTCs are set that would disable high voltage or that identify a gear selector switch concern.
- If the specified DTCs are set, repair them first. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .
- Observe the HPCM IMS Range parameter display with a scan tool. The display should indicate Park or Neutral.
- If the display does not indicate Park or Neutral, adjust the range selector lever cable. Refer to Range Selector Lever Cable Adjustment .
- Verify that serial data gateway module (SDGM) DTC B009F is not set.
- If B009F is set, refer to DTC B009FΒ .
- Observe the SDGM Hybrid Crash Status parameter. If the vehicle has not been involved in a collision the parameter should display No Crash.
- If the parameter displays Crash Detected and/or the vehicle has been involved in a collision the high voltage system should be inspected for damage and the high voltage system re-enabled. Refer to High Voltage System InspectionΒ .
- Verify the vehicle has not been in a collision that resulted in supplemental inflatable restrain (SIR) deployment.
- If SIR deployment has occured the high voltage system should be inspected for damage and the high voltage system re-enabled. Refer to High Voltage System InspectionΒ .
- Observe the BECM Hybrid Battery Pack Calculated voltage parameter with a scan tool. You should observe greater than 230 volts.
- If the hybrid battery voltage is less than the specified value, attempt to charge the Hybrid Battery. Refer to Jump Assist .
- Turn the ignition to Crank. The engine should instantly start and run.
- If the engine does not crank but audible transmission noise is observed while cranking, inspect the transmission for internal component failure. A seized engine or accessory drive could cause transmission damage during engine crank.
- If the engine does not crank and no audible transmission noise is observed replace the drive motor generator power inverter module (PIM).
