Circuit Description
The purpose of the accessory power module (APM), integral to the starter/generator control module (SGCM), is to control the amount and direction of energy flowing between the 42v DC and 14v DC Buses via the APM, bi-directional 42v DC to 14v DC converter. All APM functions will only be run when in the enable mode. APM current will be defined as the current flowing through the outputs. APM power is bi-directional, with negative current representing 14-42 direction, and positive current representing the 42-14 direction.
When the APM Power Conversion direction is set to a value of 42v to 14v, the energy will flow from the 42v DC Bus to the 14v DC Bus via the APM. When the Service Charge or jump start is requested, the energy will flow from the 14v DC Bus to the 42v DC Bus via the APM. When the APM Power Conversion direction is set to a value of Off, the APM will be turned off and not consume or transfer any power. When the APM Power Conversion direction is set to a value of Invalid, the energy will flow from the 42v DC Bus to the 14v DC Bus via the APM.
The following DTCs are for internal failures within the SGCM:
| • | P1A95 is for the DC/DC converter stuck in the 14-42-volt direction. |
| • | P1A96 is for the DC/DC converter stuck in the 42-14-volt direction |
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Engine is running for 30 seconds. |
| • | The SGCM has received voltage on the ignition 0 voltage circuit. |
| • | The SGCM has turned ON and no configuration DTC is present. |
| • | This diagnostic shall run every 100 milliseconds. |
| • | Reference voltage is stable and accurate. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P1A95 - 14 volt DC/DC direction indicates 14-42-volt direction, but the converter stays in the 42-14-volt direction.
DTC P1A96 - 14 volt DC/DC direction indicates 42-14-volt direction, but the converter stays in the 14-42-volt direction.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The powertrain control module (PCM) stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. |
| • | The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, may display a message. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC Last Test Failed clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other non-emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the DTC with a scan tool. |

1 | Was the Engine Electrical Diagnostic System Check performed? | Go to Step 2 | |
2 |
Is the DTC set as current DTC? | Go to Step 3 | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems |
3 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the starter/generator control module (SGCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 4 |
4 | Replace the SGCM. Refer to Generator Control Module Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 5 | -- |
5 |
Does the DTC reset? | Go to Step 2 | System OK |
