DTC Descriptor
DTC P2534
- Ignition 1 Switch Circuit Low Voltage

Circuit/System Description

The hybrid powertrain control module uses ignition 1 circuit terminal voltage to monitor the 12V system voltage. Ignition 1 circuit voltage also powers several of the internal drive motor generator power inverter control module drive motor generator power inverter module components.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The control module has detected ignition 1 circuit voltage is less than 2V.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTC P2534 is a Type A DTC.
* The hybrid powertrain control module commands the engine OFF.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P2534 is a Type A DTC.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the T6 drive motor generator power inverter module connector X1.
2. Ignition ON, measure the voltage on the ignition 1 circuit, between connector X1 terminal 20 and ground. The voltage should be within 1.0 V of the battery voltage.

If not the specified value test the ignition 1 signal circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the T6 drive motor generator power inverter module.
