DTC Descriptor
DTC P1AFC
-
Drive Motor 1 Control Module Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Bus
DTC P1AFD
-
Drive Motor 1 Control Module Serial Communications Interface (SCI) Bus
DTC P1B02
-
Drive Motor 2 Control Module Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Bus
Circuit/System Description
This is an internal fault detection of the drive motor generator power inverter module. This fault is handled inside the hybrid powertrain control module and no external circuits are involved. The hybrid powertrain control module contains two motor control modules and the hybrid powertrain control module. These modules share dedicated internal drive motor generator power inverter module circuits. The modules listed below are part of the drive motor generator power inverter module and are not serviced separately.
* Hybrid powertrain control module
* Motor control module 1
* Motor control module 2
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The Ignition is ON.
* The system voltage is 8-18 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P1AFC
Motor control module 1 detects a loss of SPI bus communication with the hybrid powertrain control module.
P1AFD
Motor control module 1 detects a loss of SCI bus communication with motor control module 2 for 2 seconds.
P1B02
Motor control module 2 detects a loss of SPI bus communication with the hybrid powertrain control module.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P1AFC and P1B02 are Type A DTCs.
* DTC P1AFD is a Type B DTC.
* The hybrid powertrain control module commands the battery energy control module to open the high voltage contactor relays.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* DTCs P1AFC and P1B02 are Type A DTCs.
* DTC P1AFD is a Type B DTC.
