Diagnostic Fault Information






Typical Scan Tool Data






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 hybrid powertrain control module monitors the system voltage on the ignition voltage circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The generator control module is communicating on the serial data circuits.

P2534

Ignition is ON.

P2535

Ignition is OFF.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P2535

The hybrid powertrain control module detects greater than 5 volts on the ignition voltage circuit at the generator control module when not enabled for greater than 10 seconds.

P2534

The hybrid powertrain control module detects less than 2 volts on the ignition voltage circuit at the generator control module for greater than 10 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P2534 and P2535 are Type A DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P2534 and P2535 are Type A DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

* Verify the charging system is functioning correctly.

* If the run crank circuit is shorted to voltage, the engine will continue to run with the ignition in the OFF position.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals. The battery voltage should stabilize between 12.4 and 12.8V within a few minutes of turning the ignition OFF.

If not within the specified range, refer to Battery Inspection/Test Battery Inspection/Test.

2. Ignition OFF, disconnect K59 starter generator control module X3 connector.

3. Ignition ON, test for 8-18V between the K59 starter generator control module X3 connector ignition voltage circuit terminal 10 and ground.

If not within the specified range, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the K59 starter generator control module.
