DTC Descriptors

DTC P1A0C
- Battery Energy Control Module System Voltage Low

DTC P1A0D
- Battery Energy Control Module System Voltage High

Circuit/System Description

The battery energy control module (BECM) monitors the system voltage for a high or low condition.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P1A0C

System voltage is greater than the system voltage upper threshold of 18 volts for 3 seconds.

P1A0D

System voltage is less than the system voltage upper threshold of 6 volts for 3 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Hybrid system is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

P1A0C, P1A0D

State is Run.

Circuit/System Verification

Caution: To help avoid personal injury, additional precautions must be taken prior to working on the generator control module or the generator starter. After removing the 36V battery cables from the generator battery, remove both engine wiring harness connectors from the generator control module. Wait at least 5 minutes and then remove the generator control module cover. Verify voltage levels at all 36V, 12V, and 3-phase connections, are less than 3 volts using a DMM before proceeding.

Caution: To help avoid personal injury, be careful when working in the vicinity of the generator battery disconnect control module. Internal components will still be live, 36V potential, even when the cover has been opened or removed.

1. If DTC is history, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Diagnostic Aids. Component Tests and General Diagnostics
2. If DTC is current, replace the BECM.

Repair Instructions
