The generator battery disconnect control module monitors the system voltage for a high or low condition.
The engine is running.
System voltage is less than the system voltage lower threshold of 6 volts for 3 seconds.
System voltage is greater than the system voltage upper threshold of 18 volts for 3 seconds.
• | P1A0C Hybrid System is Disabled |
• | P1A0D Does not affect Hybrid Operation |
System voltage returns to a normal operating range.

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.
Important: In order to avoid damaging the generator battery disconnect control module C1 and C2 connector terminals, the proper test probes should be used. The proper test probes are as follows:
• | J-35616-65B for female terminals |
• | J-35616-64B for male terminals |
⇒ | If the DTC is history refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections |
⇒ | If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuits for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the ECM parameter and the measured generator battery disconnect control module Ignition voltage circuit differ by more than 2 volts, test the Ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the ECM parameter and the measured generator battery disconnect control module Ignition voltage circuit differ by more than 2 volts, replace the generator battery disconnect control module. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
