DTC Descriptor
DTC P0AA2: Hybrid Battery Positive Contactor Circuit Stuck OpenCircuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) monitors to detect when it can no longer control the state of the contactor.
Conditions for Running the DTC
When the Ignition is in RUN, the engine running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The diagnostic fails when then the BECM does not respond to the ECMs CLOSE command. |
| • | 3 seconds after the contactor has been commanded to CLOSE, if the contactor status at any time does not read as CLOSED, the diagnostic will fail. |
If the service disconnect is active, the diagnostic will fail.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The hybrid system is disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The contactor status is CLOSED while the contactor is commanded to CLOSE.

Diagnostic Aids
This diagnostic also fails when the BECM refuses to obey the ECMs CLOSE command. The contactor can be reported as Closed, Impact Detected, Service Disconnect, Open, Overtemperature, and Fault, and the BECM sets this status.
If the DTC is current, check the status of the contactor with Tech 2. If the status is Service Disconnect, verify that the service disconnect is fully engaged by the BECM cover when closed. If this diagnostic is accompanied by hybrid battery temperature circuit DTCs, diagnose those DTCs first. If the vehicle was in an event where the air bag deployed, the crash event must be deasserted in vehicle communications before the contactor will be allowed to close. If the contactor status is Fault, then there may be an issue with the battery disconnect unit.
If the DTC is in history with no other faults, or the BECM cover was fully seated, Inspect connections at the BECM harness for X2.
Circuit/System Testing
Caution: To help avoid personal injury, additional precautions must be taken prior to working on the generator control module or the generator starter. After removing the 36V battery cables from the generator battery, remove both engine wiring harness connectors from the generator control module. Wait at least 5 minutes and then remove the generator control module cover. Verify voltage levels at all 36V, 12V, and 3-phase connections, are less than 3 volts using a DMM before proceeding.
Caution: To help avoid personal injury, be careful when working in the vicinity of the generator battery disconnect control module. Internal components will still be live, 36V potential, even when the cover has been opened or removed.
- If other DTCs are set diagnose those first.
- Cycle the ignition switch from OFF to RUN several times.
| ⇒ | If the DTC resets, replace the BECM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
