DTC Descriptors

DTC P1A5D

-
Battery Energy Control Module 5 Volt Reference 2 Circuit

Circuit/System Description

The hybrid battery pack has 6 battery temperature sensors. The battery temperature sensors are located on the top of the batteries. The temperature sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the battery cell group. The battery energy control module supplies 5 V to the signal circuit and a ground for the low reference circuit. The battery temperature sensor resistance changes with battery temperature. As the temperature decreases, the sensor resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The battery energy control module uses the battery temperature sensors to determine the temperature of the hybrid battery pack assembly. The hybrid powertrain control module will control the hybrid battery pack cooling fan based on the hybrid battery pack temperature.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Battery voltage is greater than 8.8 V

* Battery energy control module is awake and communicating

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Circuit/System Verification

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.


Before working on any high voltage system, be sure to wear the following Personal Protection Equipment:


* Safety glasses with appropriate side shields when within 15 meters (50 feet) of the vehicle, either indoors or outdoors.


* Certified and up-to-date Class "0" Insulation gloves rated at 1000V with leather protectors.


- Visually and functionally inspect the gloves before use.


- Wear the Insulation gloves with leather protectors at all times when working with the high voltage battery assembly, whether the system is energized or not.


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


Danger:
The eAssist battery pack assembly will utilize an exchange program. Please consult the most recent revision of bulletin/PI# PIC5520, available in Service Information♦(SI), for a list of approved eAssist battery pack assembly service procedures. Components that may be removed and serviced without exchanging the complete battery pack assembly are identified in the bulletin/PI. Please contact the GM Technical Assistance Center (1-877-446-8227) if you have any questions.


1. Ignition ON.

2. Verify DTC P1A5D is not set.

If the DTC is set

Replace the K16 battery energy control module

If the DTC is not set

3. All OK.
