Circuit/System Testing

Program the PIM with the latest software version and recheck for DTCs.

If the DTC resets after programming or if the PIM already contains the latest software version, replace the PIM.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

Control Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for PIM replacement, setup, and programming.

P0BFD

DTC P0BFD or P0BFE

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System

Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.

* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an

overview of the diagnostic approach.

* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic Procedure

Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC P0BFD

- Drive Motor 1 Phase U-V-W Correlation

DTC P0BFE

- Drive Motor 2 Phase U-V-W Correlation

Circuit/System Description

The drive motor generator power inverter control module (PIM) contains two motor control modules (MCMs) and the hybrid powertrain control

module (HPCM). Each MCM operates its respective drive motor generator based upon HPCM commands. Each MCM controls the speed, direction

and output torque of its respective drive motor generator through the sequencing actuation of high current switching transistors called insulated gate

bipolar transistors (IGBTs). Each drive motor generator operates utilizing 3-phase alternating current (ac) electricity. Each IGBT operates a single

phase of the drive motor generator. Each phase is individually identified as U, V and W. Each MCM monitors the current of each phase in order to

detect PIM overcurrent conditions.

Because all the motor generator phase circuits are electrically joined together, they should each flow about the same amount of current. The MCM

performs a mathematical calculation to verify that the phase current sensors are accurate. If the U-V-W phase current sensors indicate about the

same amount of phase current, the sum of the calculation should be near zero. If the U-V-W phase currents are not similar, this DTC will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition is ON.

* The High Voltage contactor relays are closed.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The sum of the 3 phase current sensors is greater than 75 A.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTCs P0BFD and P0BFE are Type A DTCs.

* The PIM commands the battery energy control module (BECM) to open the high voltage contactor relays.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0BFD and P0BFE are Type A DTCs.
