DTC Descriptor

DTC P0CA2

-
14 V Power Module Step Down Voltage Performance

Circuit/System Description

The generator control module also called the starter generator control module is comprised of the following three control modules; the hybrid powertrain control module, 14 volt power module and the drive motor control module. These three control modules are non serviceable and are part of the generator control module.

The 14V power module has switching transistors that allows it to convert high voltage from the Hybrid Battery to 12 volts. This diagnostic is designed to test for an electrical short in the MOSFET transistors. The transistors are internal to the 14V power module and cannot be serviced separately from the generator control module.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON and the 14V Power Module is enabled.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The 14 V Power Module has detected a transistor failure for 25 mS.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The 14V power module stops supplying power to the 12V system.

* The charging system light will illuminate, and Service Battery Charging System will display on the Driver Information Center.

* DTC P0CA2 is a Type A DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* DTC P0CA2 is a Type A DTC.

* 14 V Power Module detects no transistor failures for 5 seconds.
