DTC Descriptor

DTC P1AE8
- Drive Motor 1 Control Module Hybrid Battery Voltage Sense Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P1AE9
- Drive Motor 1 Control Module Hybrid Battery Voltage Sense Circuit High Voltage

DTC P1AEA
- Drive Motor 2 Control Module Hybrid Battery Voltage Sense Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P1AEB
- Drive Motor 2 Control Module Hybrid Battery Voltage Sense Circuit High Voltage

Circuit/System Description

This is an internal fault detection of the drive motor generator power inverter module (PIM) assembly. This fault is handled inside the PIM and no external circuits are involved.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The control module runs the program to detect an internal fault when the key is ON.
* Ignition voltage is 8-18 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P1AE8 and P1AEA

The motor control module (MCM) detects high voltage sensor voltage less than 4.25 V for 208 milliseconds.

P1AE9 and P1AEB

The motor control module (MCM) detects high voltage sensor voltage more than 400 V for 208 milliseconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTCs P1AE8, P1AE9, P1AEA and P1AEB are Type B DTCs.
* The hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM) commands the battery energy control module (BECM) to open the high voltage contactor relays.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P1AE8, P1AE9, P1AEA and P1AEB are Type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Clear the DTC information.
2. Turn the ignition OFF for 1 minute.
3. Turn the ignition ON.
4. Retest for DTCs P1AE8, P1AE9, P1AEA and P1AEB.

Circuit/System Testing

Ignition ON, retest for DTCs P1AE8, P1AE9, P1AEA and P1AEB.

If the DTC resets, 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.
