Battery Charging System Negative Contactor
- Vehicle OFF, disconnect the X358 harness connector at the A4 Hybrid/EV Battery Pack.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Vehicle OFF.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
- If less than 10 Ω
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between each A4 Hybrid/EV Battery Pack harness connector terminals listed below and ground;
- B+ - Terminal 1
- B+ - Terminal 9
- If the test lamp does not illuminate for either circuit and the circuit fuse is good
- Vehicle OFF.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate for either circuit and the circuit fuse is open
- Vehicle OFF.
- Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance, replace the K16 Battery Energy Control Module and A28 Hybrid/EV Battery Contactor Assembly.
- If the test lamp illuminates for both circuits
- Vehicle OFF, disconnect the X357 harness connector at the A4 Hybrid/EV Battery Pack. Vehicle in Service Mode.
- Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the A4 Hybrid/EV Battery Pack harness control circuit terminal 9 X357 and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates
- Vehicle OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K114B Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2. Vehicle in Service Mode.
- Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K114B Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate
- Vehicle OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K114B Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2.
- Test for infinite resistance between the A4 Hybrid/EV Battery Pack harness control circuit terminal 9 X357 and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance
Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- If less than infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater
Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω
- If 2 Ω or greater
- Replace the K114B Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2.
- Verify that DTC P0D5E does not set while operating the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC.
- If DTC P0D5E is set
Replace the A28 Hybrid/EV Battery Contactor Assembly.
- If DTC P0D5E is not set
- If DTC P0D5E is set
- All OK.
