14 Volt Power Module Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P1A73

-
14 Volt Power Module Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit High Voltage

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 constantly monitors its temperature to protect against overheat conditions. The module also monitors the performance of the temperature sensors to assure they are working properly. These sensors are internal to the 14V power module and are not serviced separately from the generator control module.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The Ignition is ON.

* Ignition voltage is between 9-16V.

P1A71

* DTCs P1A90, P1A91, P1A92, P1A71, P1A72, P1A73, P0A2B, P0A2C, P0A2D, P0A2F, P0AEE, P0AEF, P0AF0, P0C11, and P262B are not set.

* Ignition must be off for 8 hours or more.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P1A71

14V Power Module Temperature Sensor 2 has a value of 20°C greater than the average value of 14V Power Module Temperature Sensor 1, Motor Generator Unit Temperature, and the Inverter Temperature for greater than 4 seconds.

P1A72

14V Power Module Temperature Sensor 2 is greater than 145°C (293°F) for greater than 4 seconds.

P1A73

14V Power Module Temperature Sensor 2 is less than -65°C (-85°F) for greater than 4 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTCs P1A71, P1A72, or P1A73 are Type B DTCs.

* 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.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P1A71, P1A72, or P1A73 are Type B DTCs.

P1A72

14V Power Module Temperature Sensor 2 is less than 140°C (284°F).

P1A73

14V Power Module Temperature Sensor 2 is greater than -60°C (-76°F).

Diagnostic Aids

Verify 14V Power Module Temperature Sensor 2 reads between -59°C (-74°F) and +139°C (+282°F) and is within 20°C (36°F) of the average of 14V Power Module Temperature Sensor 1, Drive Motor Temperature, and 14V Power Module Temperature Sensor 2 after ignition has been off for 8 hours.
