Circuit/System Verification

1. Verify that there are no DTCs in the APM that disable the 42-volt circuit, no engine-stall DTCs in the ECM, and no U-codes in any module.

瀚慖f there are any of the specified DTCs, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code

Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle).

2. Engine running, accessories OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage should be between 12.6-15.0

volts.

瀚慖f not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test (See: Starting and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests

and General Diagnostics/Charging System Test).

3. Engine running, observe the scan tool PSCM Intermediate Voltage parameter. The voltage should be 37.5-50 volts.

瀚慖f not within the specified range, refer to Voltage Out Of Range At All Times.

4. Engine running, rotate the steering wheel left and right while stationary. Observe the scan tool PSCM Intermediate Voltage parameter. The

voltage should remain greater than 37.5 volts.

瀚慖f the voltage is less than the specified range only when turning the steering wheel, refer to Low Voltage When Turning.

5. Operate the vehicle on a bumpy road. Observe the scan tool APM 42V Circuit Maximum parameter. The scan tool 42V Circuit Maximum

parameter should be less than 50 volts.

瀚慖f the voltage is greater than the specified range, replace the PSCM.

Circuit/System Testing

Voltage Out Of Range At All Times

Danger: Always perform the High Voltage Disabling procedure prior to servicing any High Voltage component or connection. Personal

Protection Equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.

The High Voltage Disabling procedure will perform the following tasks:

* Identify how to disable high voltage.

* Identify how to test for the presence of high voltage.

* Identify condition under which high voltage is always present and personal protection equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must
