The auxiliary power module (APM) temperature sensor is used for overheat protection. The thermistor is located on the control board, near the phase APM power MOSFET. The starter/generator control module (SGCM) monitors the APM temperature sensor for the following:
• | To detect if the APM temperature sensor is shorted low. |
• | To detect if the APM temperature sensor is shorted high. |
If one of the above conditions is detected, the SGCM will set the appropriate DTC.
The engine is running.
FET temperature sensor signal for APM is less than 0.2 volt for 1 second.
APM temperature sensor output voltage is greater than 4.6 volts (-14°C or 6.8°F) and APM temperature is greater than 55°C (131°F) for 1 second.
APM 50 percent maximum current output
Normal range for 10 seconds
Possible APM temperature sensor short to ground or open
Possible APM temperature sensor short to voltage

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.
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
