Normal Operation
With the ignition in the ON position and the engine ON or OFF, the Battery Pack Sensor Module (BPSM) monitors and maintains the High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB) temperature in a specific range. A thermistor is mounted to the inlet air duct which monitors inlet air temperature along with thermistors inside the HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery) which monitor HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery) temperature. The ideal HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery) temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a desired range of 20°C (68°F) to 30°C (86°F). The HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery) is not designed to operate in temperatures below -40°C (-40°F). The Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) controls the temperature by adjusting the HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery) cooling fan speed. The BPSM (Battery Pack Sensor Module) communicates the HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery) and inlet air temperature to the BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) through a dedicated Controller Area Network (CAN).
- P0AFD:00 (Hybrid Battery Pack Temperature Too Low: No Sub Type Information)- Fault code sets if a thermistor within the battery senses temperature inside the battery was -40°C (-40°F).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- BPSM (Battery Pack Sensor Module)
- HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery)
PINPOINT TEST W : DTC P0AFD: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.
WARNING: Always inspect gloves before each use to prevent high-voltage shock. High-voltage insulated safety gloves with a leather outer glove are required to service some components of this vehicle where specified in the service procedures. All high-voltage insulated safety gloves must meet or exceed ANSI/ASTM class 00. Refer to Rubber Insulating Gloves Testing . 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.
W1 MEASURE THERMISTOR RESISTANCE FROM BPSM (Battery Pack Sensor Module)
WARNING: Always wear high-voltage insulated safety gloves with leather outer gloves and a face shield when servicing the battery pack sensor module (BPSM) and never remove the high-voltage BPSM connector unless directed by a service procedure. High voltage is present at the BPSM at all times, even with service disconnect plug removal. Depowering the system will not remove voltage from the BPSM connector with the orange harness. Follow all service instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: Never install the service disconnect plug with the high-voltage bussed electrical center (BEC) cover removed. Always install the cover prior to connecting the service disconnect plug. The high-voltage BEC cover prevents inadvertent contact with the high voltage which is present at several points under the cover. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.
- Ignition OFF.
- Depower the HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery) system. Refer to High-Voltage Traction Battery Systems Depowering .
- Remove the high-voltage Bussed Electrical Center (BEC) cover. Refer to the exploded view in Battery Pack Sensor Module (BPSM) .
- Disconnect: BPSM (Battery Pack Sensor Module) C4238B.
- Measure the resistance of each of the thermistors located within the HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery). Use the following charts to determine pin location and expected resistance values.

Are the resistance values correct for the temperature?
Yes
INSTALL a new BPSM (Battery Pack Sensor Module). REFER to Battery Pack Sensor Module (BPSM) . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
INSTALL a new HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery) (includes HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery) system wire harness). REFER to High-Voltage Traction Battery . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
