DTC Descriptor
DTC P0A80
- Replace Hybrid Battery Pack

Circuit/System Description

The BECM measures the internal hybrid battery resistance across the high voltage (HV) battery string and in pairs. If the internal resistance values are out of range at a given battery temperature, this DTC will set. Higher internal resistance will also increase battery temperature.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition is ON.
* The 12 V battery voltage is 9-18 V.
* Hybrid battery current is -70 to +100 A.
* Hybrid battery temperature is -10 to +50°C (14-22°F).

Conditions for Setting the DTC

One of the following conditions exists for 10 minutes:

* Hybrid battery pack calculated hybrid battery resistance is greater than the value specified in Drive Motor Generator Battery End of Life Resistance (Drive Motor Generator Battery End of Life Resistance).
* Hybrid battery resistance is greater than the value specified in Drive Motor Generator Battery End of Life Resistance (Drive Motor Generator Battery End of Life Resistance).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* Hybrid battery power is reduced to 0 Kw.
* The battery cooling fan turns ON high speed.
* The driver information center (DIC) displays the SERVICE HYBRID SYSTEM message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P0A80 is a type A DTC.
