DTC Descriptor

DTC P16F6: Control Module Range State Command

This diagnostic applies to internal microprocessor integrity conditions within the hybrid powertrain control module. The hybrid powertrain control module is internal to the drive motor generator power inverter module, and is not serviced separately. The hybrid powertrain control module monitors its ability to read and write to the memory. The hybrid powertrain control module processor monitors the data to verify that the commanded range state calculation is correct.

Conditions for Running the DTC

•	The ignition is ON.

•	The system voltage is 8-18 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The control module has detected the commanded transmission range state is not correct based upon internal calculations or by a comparison to input or output torque conditions.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

•	DTC P16F6 is a Type A DTC.

•	The hybrid powertrain control module commands the battery energy control module to open the high voltage contactor relays.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P16F6 is a Type A DTC.
