DTC Descriptors

DTC P1EAB: Battery Energy Control Module Hybrid/EV Battery Cell High Voltage

DTC P1EAC: Hybrid/EV Battery Cell Over-voltage Signal Circuit Performance

Circuit/System Description

The 2nd protection is a redundant method to monitor cell group overvoltage. The four hybrid/EV battery interface control modules independently read and test each cell group. The 2nd protection circuit fault is the actual hardwire signal from the four hybrid/EV battery interface control modules to the battery energy control module and terminating in the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 diagnoses this line to determine when a cell group over-voltage condition exists.

The 2nd protection self test diagnostic is used to check the signal circuit. The battery energy control module performs this test once every power down cycle. When run/crank input signal transitions low and after a calibrated delay, the battery energy control module informs the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2, via serial data communication bus that it is about to run the diagnostics on the 2nd protection circuit. The battery energy control module then proceeds to command, via internal serial data, each hybrid/EV battery interface control module to run the check on its hardwire output. Each of the four hybrid/EV battery interface control modules pulls the signal circuit low and releases it, in sequence. If any pulses are missing, the battery energy control module is able to diagnose which hybrid/EV battery interface control module(s) has a fault, and sets a related fault, and sends this information to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 on the serial data

Conditions for Running the DTC

P1EAB

    • The battery energy control module and hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 are awake and communicating.
    • DTC P1EAC or U185A is not set

P1EAC

    • The battery energy control module and hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 are awake and communicating.
    • Ignition cycles from ON to OFF.
    • Ignition is OFF for 500 ms.
    • The 12 V battery voltage greater than or equal to 9 V.
    • None of the following DTCs are set; P1E8E, P1E94, P1E9A or P1EA0.
    • No loss of communications between the battery energy control module and any of the hybrid/EV battery interface control modules.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P1EAB

A cell over-voltage is detected.

P1EAC

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 has detected a fault with the 2nd protection fault flag.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • DTCs P1EAB and P1EAC are type A DTCs.
    • If any of these DTCs are set, the vehicle will operate in a reduced power mode and electric only engine ON.
    • Once Vehicle Power has been turned OFF all of the contactors will be prevented from closing.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • DTCs P1EAB and P1EAC are type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Testing

Danger: High voltage enabling and disabling shall be only performed by High Voltage Qualified Technicians. The procedures for high-voltage enabling/disabling can be found in the service instructions and must be strictly followed at all times. The usage of the Protocol High Voltage Disabling/Enabling is mandatory. The High-Voltage Qualified Technician is responsible for the adherence to the manufacturer's service instructions as well as current national legal regulations.

Failure to follow the procedures exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.

Questions regarding training can be answered by your national training centre.

Danger: Any hybrid/EV battery pack replacement shall be performed by High-Voltage Qualified Technicians only. The replacement procedure can be found in the service instruction and must be strictly followed at all times. The High-Voltage Qualified Technician is responsible for adherence to the manufacturer's service instructions as well as current national legal regulations. If the hybrid/EV battery pack needs to be replaced contact the Technical Assistance Centre for further instructions prior to removal of the battery pack.

  1. Ignition OFF, disable the high voltage at the A4 hybrid/EV battery pack. Refer to High Voltage Disabling
  2. Connect the 12 V battery.
  3. Disconnect the X2 harness connector at the A28 hybrid/EV battery contactor assembly.
  4. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the over-voltage signal circuit terminal 6 and earth.
  5. If less than the specified range, test the over-voltage signal circuit for a short-circuit to earth or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K114B hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. After the repair, with a scan tool, perform the Clear Secured High-Voltage DTCs .
    If greater than the specified range, test the over-voltage signal circuit for a short-circuit to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K114B hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. After the repair, with a scan tool, perform the Clear Secured High-Voltage DTCs .
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the A4 hybrid/EV battery pack.
