Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptors
DTC P0AFA
- Hybrid Battery System Voltage Low

Circuit/System Description

The starter generator control module (SGCM) monitors the hybrid battery voltage to verify that the output voltage (36 V) Is within normal operating value (above 22 V). If the output voltage is not within this value, this DTC will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

36 V output voltage is less than 22 V for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* Stop PWM (MGU shutdown)
* APM PWM off

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

36 volt output voltage increases to greater than 22 V.

Diagnostic Aids

* Possible battery cable open
* Possible fuse/relay block electrical failure

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Hybrid System Voltage parameter in the SGCM data list. The voltage should be greater than 22 V. If the parameter displays less than the specified value, refer to SGCM 36 V Output Terminal Circuit Low.
2. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Hybrid System Voltage parameter in the BECM data list. The voltage should be greater than 22 V. If the parameter displays less than the specified value, refer to Hybrid Battery Pack Voltage Low.

Circuit/System Testing

SGCM 36 volt Output Terminal Circuit Low
1. If DTC is history, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections (Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections).
2. Ignition ON, test for greater than 22 V at the SGCM battery positive 36 V output voltage stud.

• If less than the specified value, test the 36 V cable for an open/high resistance or short to ground.
• If greater than the specified value, replace the SGCM.

Hybrid Battery Pack Voltage Low
1. If DTC is history, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections (Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections).
2. Gain access to the generator battery. Refer to Hybrid Battery Service Disconnect/Connect (Procedures).
3. Ignition OFF, test generator battery voltage for greater than 22 V.

• If less than the specified value, replace the generator battery.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
