High-Voltage Traction Battery

Pinpoint Test J: DTC P0AA6:00

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 12, Charging System for schematic and connector information. [1][2]Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

With the ignition in the ON position and the engine running or OFF (the engine must have run at least once after the ignition was cycled to ON), the Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) monitors the electrical isolation (leakage resistance) between the high-voltage system and the vehicle chassis. A resistance value of less than 147,000 ohms is a failure. There are 2 types of failures. A mild fault will only illuminate the powertrain malfunction (wrench) warning indicator. A severe fault will illuminate the stop safely hazard (red triangle) warning indicator and the vehicle will not start at the next ignition cycle. The normal resistance value is between 950,000-1,330,000+ ohms.

- DTC P0AA6:00 (Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation Fault: No Sub Type Information)- If the BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) detects a high-voltage system leakage this DTC will be set. If the BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) detects a high-voltage system severe leakage, the vehicle will not restart and the BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) will set this DTC.

This pinpoint is intended to diagnose the following:

- DC to DC Converter Control Module (DC/DC)

- High-voltage cables

- High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB)

- Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT)

- Moisture/water penetration of high-voltage connectors

- A/C compressor

PINPOINT TEST J : DTC P0AA6:00

WARNING: To prevent the risk of high-voltage shock, always follow precisely all warnings and service instructions, including instructions to depower the system. The high-voltage hybrid system utilizes approximately 300 volts DC, provided through high-voltage cables to its components and modules. The high-voltage cables and wiring are identified by orange harness tape or orange wire covering. All high-voltage components are marked with high-voltage warning labels with a high-voltage symbol. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

NOTE: If DTC P0A78 or DTC P0A7A is present in the Transmission Control Module (TCM), diagnose those DTCs first. Refer to Computers and Control Systems Information.
