SYMPTOM/CONDITION

Customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination. Upon further investigation, the technician may notice one or more of the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) have been set:

P0AA1-00 - Hybrid/Ev Battery Positive Contactor "A" Stuck Closed.
P0AA4-00 - Hybrid Battery Negative Contactor Circuit Stuck Closed.
P0B3C-00 - Hybrid-Ev Battery Voltage Sense 1 Circuit Performance.
P0B41-00 - Hybrid-Ev Battery Voltage Sense 2 Circuit Performance.
P0B46-00 - Hybrid-Ev Battery Voltage Sense 3 Circuit Performance
P0B4B-00 - Hybrid-Ev Battery Voltage Sense 4 Circuit Performance.
P0B50-00 - Hybrid/Ev Battery Voltage Sense 5 Circuit Performance.
P0B55-00 - Hybrid/Ev Battery Voltage Sense 6 Circuit Performance.

NOTE: Engine will run in fuel oil refresh mode often and customer may be prompted to get an oil change before needed. Software corrects real time clock synchronization with Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and BPCM. In the previous software, after a battery replacement, the timing for when an oil & fuel change was due was reset to zero, instead of being dependent on the mileage. All new replacements packs will receive this software update.

DIAGNOSIS

Using a Scan Tool (wiTECH) with the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures available in DealerCONNECT/Service Library, verify all related systems are functioning as designed. If DTCs or symptom conditions, other than the ones listed above are present, record the issues on the repair order and repair as necessary before proceeding further with this bulletin.

If the customer describes the symptom/condition listed above or if the technician finds the DTC, perform the Repair Procedure.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

NOTE: Install a battery charger to maintain a 12 volt system voltage.

NOTE: If this flash process is interrupted/aborted, the flash should be restarted.

Reprogram the BPCM with the latest software. Detailed instructions for flashing control modules using the wiTECH Diagnostic Application are available by selecting the application's "HELP" tab.
Clear all DTCs that may have been set in any module due to reprogramming. The wiTECH application will automatically present all DTCs after the flash and allow them to be cleared.

POLICY

Reimbursable within the provisions of the warranty.
