Conditions for Setting the DTC

The MCM detects excessive current flow through the switched portion of the IGBT.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTCs P0A78 and P0A79 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 P0A78 and P0A79 are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Clear the DTC information.

2. Turn the ignition OFF for 2 minutes.

3. Turn the ignition ON.

4. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running and setting.

5. Retest for the DTC.

Circuit/System Testing

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 be followed.

Failure to follow the procedures exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.

1. Perform the High Voltage Disabling () procedure for servicing at the drive motor generator control module cable connections.

2. Remove the 3-phase cable assembly from the PIM distribution box. Refer to Generator Control Module 3-Phase Cable Assembly

Replacement ().

3. Test the resistance to ground for each phase of the applicable drive motor generator by measuring between the following points with a DMM.

* Phase U terminal and chassis ground

* Phase V terminal and chassis ground

* Phase W terminal and chassis ground

瀚慖f infinite resistance is measured, replace the PIM and retest for DTCs. If DTC P0A78 or P0A79 still resets, replace the 3-phase cable
