DTC P0D5E

Diagnostic Instructions

    • Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
    • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
    • Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC P0D5E: Battery Charger System High Voltage Present

Circuit/System Description

The battery charger will diagnose its own systems and determine when a fault condition is present. Diagnostics and system status is communicated from the battery charger to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 through serial data. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 is the host controller for DTC information.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Condition 1

The battery charger receives a discharge command from the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2.

OR

Condition 2

The battery charger loses communication with the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Condition 1

The battery charger control module measures a high voltage charging bus voltage greater than 60 V 1.5 seconds after receiving the discharge command from the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2.

OR

Condition 2

The battery charger control module measures a high voltage charging bus voltage greater than 60 V 5 seconds after losing communication with the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0D5E is a type A DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P0D5E is a type A DTC.

Circuit/System Testing

Danger: Always perform the High-Voltage Disabling procedure prior to servicing any High Voltage component or connection. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.

The High-Voltage Disabling procedure will perform the following tasks:

   • Identify how to disable high voltage.
   • Identify how to test for the presence of high voltage.
   • Identify conditions under which high voltage is always present and personal protection equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.
Before working on any high-voltage system, be sure to wear the following Personal Protection Equipment:
   • Safety goggles with appropriate side shields when within 15 metres (50 feet) of the vehicle, either indoors or outdoors.
   • Certified and up-to-date Class "0" Insulation gloves rated at 1000 V with leather protectors.
      - Visually and functionally inspect the gloves before use.
      - Wear the Insulation gloves with leather protectors at all times when working with the high-voltage battery assembly, whether the system is energised or not.
Failure to follow the procedures exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.

Danger: The Volt Battery Pack will utilise an exchange program. Please consult the most recent revision of bulletin/PI #PIP4841, available in Service Information (SI), for a list of approved Volt Battery Pack service procedures. Components that may be removed and serviced without exchanging the complete battery pack are identified in the bulletin/PI. Please contact the GM Technical Assistance Centre (1-877-446-8227) if you have any questions.

  1. Verify that DTC P0AA1, P0AD9, P0ADD, P0AE2, P0AE4, P0D0A, P0D11, P1EBC-P1EBF, P1EC0 or P1EC3-P1EC5 is not set.
  2. If the DTC is set, refer to DTC P0AA1, P0AD9, P0ADD, P0AE2, P0AE4, P0D0A, P0D11, P1EBC-P1EBF, P1EC0 or P1EC3-P1EC5

    Note: The A4 hybrid/EV battery pack must not be at full charge to perform next test step.

  3. Connect the drive motor battery charger cable. Vehicle ON, with a scan tool verify that the Battery Charger High Output parameter drops below 60 V after disconnecting the drive motor battery charger cable
  4. If not the specified range, disable the high voltage at the A4 hybrid/EV battery pack, refer to High Voltage Disabling . Replace the A4 hybrid/EV battery pack.
  5. Disable the high voltage at the T18 battery charger, refer to High Voltage Disabling . Replace the T18 battery charger.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
