DTC Descriptor

DTC P0AFB

- Hybrid Battery System Voltage High - ACCM 300V

Diagnostic Fault Information

Typical Scan Tool Data

Circuit/System Description

The air conditioner control module (ACCM) monitors the high voltage direct current (HVDC) voltage to ensure that the voltage stays within the

proper range. Damage to components, and incorrect data may occur when the voltage is out of range. If the ACCM detects high HVDC voltage,

then DTC P0AFB will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine is running or is in autostop mode.

* The 12 V system voltage is between 9.5-18 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ACCM detects that the hybrid battery voltage is greater than 415 V for 3 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The air conditioning is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The DTC will pass when the ACCM detects a hybrid battery voltage less than 405 V for 3 seconds.

* A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids

A high voltage DTC in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system.
