| • | P1A2E is for the hybrid battery 2 voltage very low. |
| • | P1A2F is for the hybrid battery 2 voltage high. |
| • | P1A30 is for the hybrid battery 3 circuit low voltage. |
| • | P1A31 is for the hybrid battery 3 circuit high voltage. |
| • | P1A34 is for the hybrid battery 3 voltage low. |

Battery voltage sensors allow the energy storage control module (ESCM) to monitor the voltage of the batteries in the energy storage box. The batteries apply voltage to internal input resistors that are connected to the signal circuits of the battery voltage sensors. The module provides ground to the battery voltage sensors through the reference circuit. The ESCM monitors the voltage drop across the battery voltage sensors and uses the inputs for hybrid calculations. When the battery voltage is high, the resistances of the sensors are high and the voltage signals are high. When the battery voltage is low, the resistances of the sensors are low and the voltage signals are low.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step verifies that the voltage displayed is not within the calibrated range.
-
This step tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the high voltage range.
-
This step tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the low voltage range. If the fuse in the jumper opens when you perform this test, the signal circuit is shorted to voltage.
