Hybrid Powertrain Control Module Scan Tool Information

The hybrid powertrain control module is a non-serviceable module within the power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module assembly. The Hybrid Powertrain Control Module Scan Tool Data Parameters list contains hybrid controls-related parameters. The list is arranged in alphabetical order. A given parameter may appear in any one of the data lists, and in some cases may appear more than once, or in more than one data list in order to group certain related parameters together.

Use the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module Scan Tool Data Parameters list only after the following is determined:

The scan tool values from a properly running vehicle may be used for comparison with the vehicle you are diagnosing. The Hybrid Powertrain Control Module Scan Tool Data Parameters list represents values that would be seen on a normally running vehicle.

NOTE:

A scan tool that displays faulty data should not be used. The scan tool concern should be reported to the manufacturer. Use of a faulty scan tool can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts replacement.

Only the parameters listed below are referenced in this service manual for use in diagnosis. If all values are within the typical range described below, refer to Symptoms - Hybrid Controls for diagnosis.

Hybrid Powertrain Control Module Scan Tool Output Controls

Output Control Description
Aux. Trans. Pump Speed
  • The hybrid powertrain control module commands the auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module to turn the auxiliary pump ON and OFF. Additionally, the hybrid powertrain control module commands the auxiliary pump to operate at a certain speed (RPM).
  • When operating the Auxiliary Transmission Oil Pump Speed control, the following control limits apply:
    • The internal combustion engine (ICE) must be OFF.
    • Electric motor speed must be 0 RPM.
Check High Voltage System Related DTCs Indicates if any high voltage system related DTCs are present.

    NOTE:

    Perform the high voltage disable procedure and repair or replace damaged high voltage components as specified in the applicable diagnostic prior using this control.

  • The hybrid powertrain control module monitors for a high voltage present condition after the high voltage contactor relays have been opened. When high voltage is present this DTC will set.
  • The hybrid powertrain control module clears the DTC Information for the high voltage present DTC.
  • The following control limits apply:
    • Vehicle must be ON.
    • The hybrid powertrain control module must monitor that high voltage is not currently present.
    • Communication DTCs must not be present.
    • Turn the vehicle OFF and wait 5 minutes after performing this Output Control.
Regenerative Braking
