Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The auxiliary transmission fluid pump system supplies the transmission with hydraulic pressure when the vehicle is operating in the internal combustion engine Autostop hybrid mode. The auxiliary transmission fluid pump system consists of an auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module that operates an electric, 12V 3 phase alternating current (ac), motor-driven pump. Two pulse width modulated (PWM) status circuits connect the auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module to the hybrid powertrain control module. The transmission auxiliary oil pump control circuit delivers the hybrid powertrain control module commanded pump speed to the auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module. The transmission auxiliary oil pump diagnostic circuit supplies the hybrid powertrain control module with the actual pump speed and also with the operating status of the auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module. The hybrid powertrain control module monitors these circuits for fault conditions.
The auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module inverts 12V direct current (dc) into 12V, 3 phase ac current to operate the pump motor.
The auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module monitors the status of the auxiliary transmission fluid pump motor/pump as well as its own internal circuitry. The auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module does not store its own diagnostic status. Current ignition cycle diagnostic status is reported to the hybrid powertrain control module over the transmission auxiliary oil pump diagnostic circuit. The diagnostic status within the auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module is reset at every ignition-off cycle.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition voltage is 8-18 volts.
* The auxiliary transmission fluid pump is commanded ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The hybrid powertrain control module observes the difference between actual and commanded auxiliary transmission fluid pump pump speed is greater than 500 RPM for 4 out of 4.125 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTC P2797 is a Type B DTC.
* The drive motor generator power inverter control module disables the Autostop hybrid mode.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P2797 is a Type B DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
Inquire with the customer the detailed driving conditions which caused the DTC to set:
* Does the condition improve after a given length of time driving, or is it worse after setting over night, or does it occur regardless of drive time or conditions?
* During Autostop/Autostart event?
* During braking coming to a stop, or upon launch from a stop, low vehicle speed when IC engine is off?

Circuit/System Verification
1. Inspect for DTC P0C2B. Diagnose DTC P0C2B before performing this procedure.
2. Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check.
3. With vehicle in Autostop, observe the aux. trans. fluid pump actual, aux. trans. fluid pump commanded, and fault status displays with the scan tool. If a fault status is observed, refer to Circuit/System Testing.
Circuit/System Testing
Note: It is important, that while performing the testing steps below, that the vehicle is not keyed off until after the fault status/freeze frame failure has been identified. Certain failures can cause customer concerns but may not immediately set a DTC. Depending on the failure and severity the fault status may change briefly or latch as a result of the event but will clear once the vehicle has been keyed off.
1. Ignition ON, engine OFF, observe the Aux. Trans. Fluid Pump Fault Status 1 and Aux. Trans. Fluid Fault Status 2 displays with the scan tool.
2. Using the scan tool, command the aux. trans. fluid pump speed to 50 percent and maintain pump operation for at least 60 seconds while observing the fault status displays. The actual pump speed should be maintained within 10 percent of commanded. The pump should not make excessive noise or stall.
• Refer to the applicable diagnostic procedure below for the fault status indicated by the scan tool display.
• If the actual speed is within 10 percent of commanded speed an aux. trans. fluid pump pressure fault could be present, test the aux. trans. pump line pressure output. Refer to Line Pressure Check Line Pressure Check.
• If there is not a fault currently active as a result of the manual speed command test, and DTC P2797 is either active or in history, review the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for the DTC and perform the diagnosis indicated by the Fault Status parameter display within the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
3. Perform an aux pump stress drive cycle, following an 8 hour ambient soak:
* Apply parking brake
* While in Autostop, recreate the condition by brake torquing to achieve motor 2 torque between 110-160 Nm (81-118 lb ft). Maintain for at least 30 seconds and release pedal for approximately 10 seconds, repeat test at least 10 times while observing the following parameters:
- Pump Speed
- Control Module Voltage, should be at least 12V
- Aux. Trans. Fluid Pump Fault Status 1 and 2
• If the difference between actual and commanded speed is greater than 10 percent, the pump is noisy, or the pump stalls, refer to Circuit/System Testing.
4. If the customer's concern can not be duplicated and No Fault status is displayed, the failure is likely related to a faulty auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module and therefore the module should be replaced.
PWM Input Fault
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect power inverter module connector X1.
2. Ignition ON, test for 11-13V on the Trans. Aux. Oil Pump Control circuit from power inverter module connector X1 terminal 3 and chassis ground.
• If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for an open or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the auxiliary transmission fluid pump Control Module.
Note: Only connect the J 38522 - variable signal generator to the auxiliary transmission fluid pump control circuit when adjusted to 50 percent duty cycle. Duty cycles of less than 50 percent may damage the auxiliary transmission fluid pump assembly.
3. Pre-Adjust the J 38522 - variable signal generator to 50 percent duty cycle @ 250 Hz.
4. Connect the J 38522 - variable signal generator to the Trans. Aux. Oil Pump Control circuit, from the power inverter module connector X1 terminal 3 and ground and listen for auxiliary transmission fluid pump motor operation.
• If pump operation is audible, replace the power inverter module.
• If pump operation is not audible, continue with Circuit/System Testing.
5. Ignition OFF, disconnect the auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module connector X1.
6. Ignition ON, test for 0V on the Trans. Aux. Oil Pump control circuit from power inverter module connector X1 terminal 3 and chassis ground.
