DTC P1AAE: Starter/Generator Phase U-V-W Correlation
DTC P1AAF: Starter/Generator Phase U-V-W Circuit
Circuit/System Description
The starter/generator control module (SGCM) phase U/V/W current sensor is used for motor control and power inverter module (PIM) current sensor rationality check. The current sensor is soldered on the control board near the phase U/V/W bus bar. The SGCM
monitors the current sensor for the following:
P1AAE
To detect the electrical failure (short condition) of the phase current sensor
P1AAF
To detect a phase wire open condition
If one of the above conditions is detected, the SGCM will set the appropriate DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P1AAE
Current is less than or greater than 200A for 20 ms.
P1AAF
Current output is greater than 200A for 200 ms.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
P1AAE
• | Stop pulse width modulation (PWM) (motor generator unit (MGU) shutdown) |
• | Auxiliary power module (APM) PWM OFF |
• | Battery disconnection (disconnect SW on/off) |
P1AAF
Stop PWM (MGU shutdown)
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
P1AAE
Sum of 3 phase current returns to normal.
P1AAF
Current amp output returns to normal.
Diagnostic Aids
P1AAE
• | Possible internal failure at current sensor |
P1AAF
• | Possible phase cable open |
• | Possible MGU winding open. |

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.
- If DTC is history, refer to
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
.
- Ignition OFF, disable the hybrid system. Refer to
Hybrid Battery Service Disconnect/Connect
.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Tightening Specifications in the Preface section.
Important: It is important that the 3-phase cable connections are clean and the fasteners are torqued to specifications.
- Inspect for poor connections and any evidence of arching at the 3-phase cable connectors of the SGCM and the MGU.
- Disconnect the 3-phase cables from the SGCM. Refer to
Generator Control Module 3-Phase Cable Assembly Replacement
.
- Test each of the 3-phase cables for an open as follows:
- Test each of the 3-phase cables for a short to ground.
⇒ | If all circuits test normal, replace the SGCM. |
- Disconnect the 3-phase cables from the MGU. Refer to
Generator Control Module 3-Phase Cable Assembly Replacement
.
- Test each of the 3-phase cables individually for an open.
⇒ | If all circuits test normal, replace the MGU. |
⇒ | If any circuit does not test normal, replace the 3-phase cable assembly. |
