Pinpoint Test AK: The REGEN BRAKING DISABLED Message Is Inoperative/Always On (Hybrid)

Normal Operation

The Instrument Cluster (IC) receives the regenerative brake disabled status from the PCM over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. If the regenerative braking system is disabled, the PCM sends a command to the IC (Instrument Cluster) to display the regenerative braking disabled message.

If the regenerative braking message is missing, the IC (Instrument Cluster) sets DTC U0100 in continuous memory and the regenerative braking disabled message remains in the last indication mode (on or off). If the regenerative braking message is deemed invalid by the IC (Instrument Cluster), the IC (Instrument Cluster) defaults the regenerative braking disabled message off.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- PCM

- IC (Instrument Cluster)
