DTC P2504 [L8, LF]

id0102b1814200

DTC P2504

Charging system voltage high input

DETECTION CONDITION

•  The PCM judges the generator output voltage is above 18.5 V or battery voltage is above 16.0 V during the engine running.

Diagnostic support note

•  This is a continuous monitor (other).

•  The MIL does not illuminate.

•  FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2/Mode 12) is available.

•  The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

•  Generator connector or terminals malfunction

•  PCM connector or terminals malfunction

•  Short to power supply in wiring harness between generator terminal D and PCM terminal 2AI

•  Generator malfunction

•  PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 12) AND DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED • Have the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 12) and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS (other related) been recorded?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 12) and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS on repair order, then go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related Service Information availability. • Is any related Service Information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT GENERATOR CONNECTOR AND TERMINALS • Turn the ignition switch off. • Disconnect the generator connector. • Inspect for poor connection (damaged/pulled-out terminals, corrosion, etc.). • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the connector or terminals, then go to Step 7.
3		No	Go to the next step.
4	INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR AND TERMINALS • Disconnect the PCM connector. • Inspect for poor connection (damaged/pulled-out terminals, corrosion, etc.). • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the connector or terminals, then go to Step 7.
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	INSPECT GENERATOR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY • Generator and PCM connectors are disconnected. • Turn the ignition switch to the ON (engine off). • Measure the voltage between generator terminal D (wiring harness-side) and body ground. • Is there any voltage?	Yes	Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to power supply, then go to Step 7.
5		No	Go to the next step.
6	INSPECT GENERATOR • Inspect the generator. (See GENERATOR INSPECTION [L8, LF].) • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the generator, then go to the next step. (See GENERATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)
6		No	Go to the next step.
7	VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS. (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [L8, LF].) • Perform the KOER self test. (See KOEO/KOER SELF TEST [L8, LF].) • Is the same DTC present?	Yes	Replace the PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform the “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE”. (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [L8, LF].) • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [L8, LF].)
8		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
