DTC Descriptor

DTC P1A59
- Hybrid Battery Pack Voltage

Circuit/System Description

The battery energy control module (BECM) monitors while deviation of the voltage across the battery pack is checked using the 3 module voltage sensors. If one module within the battery pack is bad, it will manifest itself in a high Delta V SOH (state of health).

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Maximum module voltage - minimum module voltage is greater than 0.6 volt for 900 ms.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The hybrid system is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

Module voltage 1 = Valid, Module voltage 2 = Valid, Module voltage 3 = Valid or one module voltage = Invalid and Pack voltage = Valid.

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

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure. Verification Tests
