Circuit/System Description

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 controls the radiator cooling fans. The cooling fans are controlled with a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 diagnoses any faults with the hardwire circuit to the engine control module. The engine control module sends a fan request PWM signal to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 through a hardwire circuit. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 operates in a pass-through mode for the engine control module fan request. The higher the duty cycle the higher the cooling fan speed.

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 sends a request to the engine control module for the cooling fans to be turned on. The engine control module uses this request and other vehicle inputs to decide if and what speed the cooling fans should operate. The engine control module sends the cooling fan command to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 sends the signal to the cooling fans to operate and at what speed.

If the vehicle is in Charge Mode and the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 requests the cooling fans to operate, if the engine control module is not awake, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 will control the cooling fans. If active cooling is needed, the engine control module wakes up to operate the air conditioning control module and then the engine control module is the master controller for the fans

Conditions for Running the DTC

The 12 V battery voltage is greater than or equal to 10.2 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 has detected an open, short to ground or short to voltage fault on the fan control circuit.

The hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump circulates coolant through the drive motor battery coolant radiator, drive motor battery coolant cooler, and the hybrid/EV battery pack to control the temperature of the hybrid/EV battery pack. An enable signal from the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 to the hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump provides overall control of the pump. When this circuit is high, the pump can operate. The pump is controlled with a pulse-width modulated signal from the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 to the hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump. The higher the duty cycle the higher the pump speed. The hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump provides a hard-wired pulse-width modulated feedback signal to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. During normal operation, this feedback signal provides pump speed information to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. The hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump has some self-diagnostic capability. If the hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump determines there is an internal fault it provides this information on this same feedback circuit instead of pump speed information.

The valve provides position feedback to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 based on a potentiometer in the valve. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 uses this feedback to monitor the valve position. Different valve positions correspond to different resistance values. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 determines the resistance values corresponding to the end stop positions of the valve by moving the valve to an end-stop and back to its original position when the vehicle is first turned on. This is referred to as the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 "diagnostic learn" the valve. This provides a valve shaft breakage test and allows the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 to "learn" the position feedback value that corresponds to that end-stop. The end-stop that is used at each Vehicle in Service Mode alternates between each end, the radiator end one time, the chiller end the next time, the radiator end the next time, etc.

The hybrid/EV electronics coolant pump circulates coolant through the power electronics coolant radiator, hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1, and the battery charger to control the temperature of the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 and the battery charger. An enable signal from the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 to the hybrid/EV electronics coolant pump provides overall control of the pump. When this circuit is high, the pump can operate. The pump is controlled with a pulse-width modulated signal from the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 to the hybrid/EV electronics coolant pump.

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 controls the radiator cooling fans. The cooling fans are controlled with a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 diagnoses any faults with the hardwire circuit to the engine control module. The engine control module sends a fan request PWM signal to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 through a hardwire circuit. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 operates in a pass-through mode for the engine control module fan request. The higher the duty cycle the higher the cooling fan speed.

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 sends a request to the engine control module for the cooling fans to be turned on. The engine control module uses this request and other vehicle inputs to decide if and what speed the cooling fans should operate. The engine control module sends the cooling fan command to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 sends the signal to the cooling fans to operate and at what speed.

If the vehicle is in Charge Mode and the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 requests the cooling fans to operate, if the engine control module is not awake, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 will control the cooling fans. If active cooling is needed, the engine control module wakes up to operate the air conditioning control module and then the engine control module is the master controller for the fans.

  2. Review «Strategy Based Diagnosis»(/cadillac/elr/i-2013-2015/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures__strategy-based-diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
  3. «Diagnostic Procedure Instructions»(/cadillac/elr/i-2013-2015/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information-diagnostic-information-and-procedures__diagnostic-procedure-instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

The hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump circulates coolant through the drive motor battery coolant radiator, drive motor battery coolant cooler, and the hybrid/EV battery pack to control the temperature of the hybrid/EV battery pack. An enable signal from the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 to the hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump provides overall control of the pump. When this circuit is high, the pump can operate. The pump is controlled with a pulse-width modulated signal from the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 to the hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump. The higher the duty cycle the higher the pump speed. The hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump provides a hard-wired pulse-width modulated feedback signal to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. During normal operation, this feedback signal provides pump speed information to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. The hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump has some self-diagnostic capability. If the hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump determines there is an internal fault it provides this information on this same feedback circuit instead of pump speed information.

A malfunctioning coolant pump may cause a battery pack overheat condition.

The longer the duty cycle on the signal the higher the fan speed. Maximum fan speed is 3900 RPM. An enable signal from the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 to the 14 V power module fan provides overall control of the fan. When this circuit is high, the fan can operate. The 14 V power module fan provides a hard-wired pulse-width modulated feedback signal to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. During normal operation, this feedback signal provides fan speed information. The 14 V power module fan has some self-diagnostic capability. If it determines there is an internal fault it provides this information on this same feedback circuit instead of speed information.

A malfunctioning cooling fan may cause a 14 V power module overheat condition.

WARNINGBefore conducting any repair to this high voltage cooling system, it is necessary to determine/verify whether no high-voltage system faults exist. If high-voltage faults exist, follow published DTC diagnostics/repair procedures prior to performing any cooling system repairs. Failure to correct High Voltage Faults before working on the high voltage cooling system could result in personal injury or death.
WARNINGTo avoid being burned, do not remove the radiator cap or surge tank cap while the engine is hot. The cooling system will release scalding fluid and steam under pressure if radiator cap or surge tank cap is removed while the engine and radiator are still hot.
  1. Turn Vehicle Power Off and remove all keyless entry transmitters from the vehicle and secure in a place outside the vehicle.
  2. Remove the drive motor generator control module coolant pump hose from the pump. Refer to .
  3. Inspect the coolant.
  4. Follow the appropriate procedure based on the condition of the coolant. Normal in appearance-Follow the filling procedure. Discolored-Follow the flush procedure. Refer to «Flushing»(/cadillac/elr/i-2013-2015/remont/cooling-system-mechanical/#engine-cooling-system__flushing) .
  1. Turn Vehicle Power Off and remove all keyless entry transmitters from the vehicle and secure in a place outside the vehicle.
  2. Install GE-46143 Cooling System Adapter
  3. Attach the Van-N-Fill cap to GE-46143 Cooling System Adapter.
  4. Attach the vacuum gauge assembly to the Vac-N-Fill cap.
  5. Attach the fill hose to the barb fitting on the vacuum gauge assembly. Ensure that the valve is closed.
  6. Pour the coolant mixture into the graduated reservoir.
  7. Place the fill hose in the graduated reservoir.
  8. Install the vacuum tank on the graduated reservoir with the fill hose routed through the cut-out area in the vacuum tank.
  9. Attach the venturi assembly to the vacuum tank.
  10. Attach a shop air hose to the venturi assembly. Ensure the valve on the venturi assembly is closed.
  11. Attach the vacuum hose to the vacuum gauge assembly and the vacuum tank.
  12. Open the valve on the venturi assembly. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and a hissing noise will be present.
  13. Continue to draw vacuum until the needle stops rising. This should be 610-660 mm Hg (24-26 in Hg). Cooling hoses may start to collapse. This is normal due to vacuum draw.
  14. To aid in the fill process, position the graduated reservoir above the coolant fill port.
  15. Slowly open the valve on the vacuum gauge assembly. When the coolant reaches the top of the fill hose, close the valve. This will eliminate air from the fill hose.
  16. Close the valve on the venturi assembly.
  17. If there is a suspected leak in the cooling system, allow the system to stabilize under vacuum and monitor for vacuum loss. If vacuum loss is observed, refer to «Loss of Coolant»(/cadillac/elr/i-2013-2015/remont/cooling-system-mechanical/#engine-cooling-system__loss-of-coolant) .
  18. Open the valve on the vacuum gauge assembly. The vacuum gauge will drop as coolant is drawn into the system.
  19. Once the vacuum gauge reaches zero, close the valve on the vacuum gauge assembly and repeat steps 12-18.
  20. Detach the Vac-N-Fill cap from the GE-46143 adapter.
  21. Remove GE-46143 adapter from the surge tank fill neck.
  22. Add coolant to the system as necessary.
  23. Inspect the concentration of the coolant mixture using GE-26568 tester.
  24. Detach the vacuum hose form the vacuum gauge assembly.
  25. Attach the extraction hose to the vacuum hose.
  26. Open the valve on the venturi assembly to start a vacuum draw.
  27. Use the extraction hose to draw out coolant to the proper level.
  28. The vacuum tank has a drain valve on the bottom of the tank. Open the valve to drain coolant from the vacuum tank into a suitable container for disposal.

Cooling System Description and Operation

This vehicle is equipped with three fully independent cooling systems. The power electronics cooling system is dedicated to cooling the battery charger and the power inverter module. The battery cooling system is dedicated to cooling and heating the high voltage battery. The engine cooling system is dedicated to cooling the engine and providing heat to the passenger compartment.

Battery Cooling System Description and Operation

The battery cooling system uses a radiator, two 12 volt pulse width modulated (PWM) radiator fans, a 12 volt coolant pump, a refrigerant/coolant heat exchanger (chiller) and a coolant flow control valve to cool down the high voltage battery. There is also a high voltage heater inside the battery to heat the coolant entering the battery when needed. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 monitors the battery coolant temperature, battery cell temperature, refrigerant temperature and refrigerant pressure. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 determines how much battery cooling or heating is required and turns on the coolant pump, positions the coolant flow control valve and depending on what is required will signals the Engine Control Module (ECM) to operate the radiator fans, request the A/C Compressor Module (ACCM) to turn on the high voltage A/C compressor, or turn on the high voltage heater. The engine control module uses this request and other vehicle inputs to decide if and what speed the cooling fans should operate. The engine control module sends the cooling fan command to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 sends the signal to the cooling fans to operate and at what speed. The battery cooling system could be activated when the vehicle is on and during charging.

If the vehicle is in Charge Mode and the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 requests the cooling fans to operate, if the engine control module is not awake, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 will control the cooling fans. If active cooling is needed, the engine control module wakes up to operate the air conditioning control module and then the engine control module is the master controller for the fans.

The battery cooling system circulates a pre-mixed Dexcool® which is a 50/50 mixture of Dex-cool and de-ionized water. De-ionized water is required for high voltage isolation and to prevent corrosion from effecting heat sink performance. Always use pre-mixed coolant and never use tap water in the battery coolant system.

Scheme 142: Hybrid Cooling System Description and Operation

This vehicle is equipped with three fully independent cooling systems. The hybrid/EV electronics cooling system is dedicated to cooling the battery charger and the drive motor generator power inverter module. The hybrid/EV battery pack cooling system is dedicated to cooling and heating the high voltage hybrid/EV battery. The engine cooling system is dedicated to cooling the engine and providing heat to the passenger compartment.

Hybrid Electronics Cooling System Description and Operation

The primary purpose of the hybrid/EV electronics cooling loop is to cool the drive motor generator power inverter module, while propulsion is enabled, and the on-board charge module, when it is plugged in. The hybrid/EV electronics cooling system uses the hybrid/EV electronics radiator, engine control module inputs, the two 12 V pulse width modulated (PWM) radiator fans, a 12 V hybrid/EV electronics coolant pump to circulate coolant through the drive motor generator power inverter module and the drive motor battery charger. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 activates the hybrid/EV electronics coolant pump and monitors a temperature sensor in the hybrid/EV electronics radiator. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 monitors the hybrid/EV electronics cooling system temperature to determine when to operate the radiator fans. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 sends a request to the engine control module for the cooling fans to be turned on. The engine control module uses this request and other vehicle inputs to decide if and what speed the cooling fans should operate. The engine control module sends the cooling fan command to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 sends the signal to the cooling fans to operate and at what speed. The hybrid/EV electronics coolant pump will be activated when the vehicle is on and during charging. The hybrid/EV electronics radiator is combined with the battery pack cooling system radiator to form one radiator assembly. The hybrid/EV electronics coolant pump and radiator cooling fans will also be enabled during an after-run event which is determined by coolant loop temperature.

The hybrid/EV electronics cooling system circulates a pre-mixed DEX-COOL® which is a 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL® and de-ionized water. De-ionized water is required for high voltage isolation and to prevent corrosion from effecting heat sink performance. Always use pre-mixed coolant and never use tap water in the hybrid/EV electronics coolant system.

Hybrid/EV Battery Pack Cooling System Description and Operation

The energy storage system cooling system uses a battery radiator, the two 12 V pulse width modulated (PWM) radiator fans, a 12 V hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump, a refrigerant/coolant heat exchanger (chiller), the electric A/C compressor motor control module assembly, refrigerant pressure and temperature sensors, ambient air temperature sensor, a hybrid/EV battery pack coolant flow control valve, and if equipped, coolant level sensor to cool down the high voltage hybrid/EV battery. There is also a high voltage heater inside the hybrid/EV battery to heat the coolant entering the hybrid/EV battery when needed. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 monitors the hybrid/EV battery coolant temperature, hybrid/EV battery cell temperature, refrigerant temperature, refrigerant pressure, and if equipped Coolant Level Sensor. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 determines how much hybrid/EV battery cooling or heating is required and turns on the hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump, positions the hybrid/EV battery pack coolant flow control valve and depending on what is required will operate the radiator fans, request the A/C Compressor Module to turn on the high voltage A/C compressor, or turn on the high voltage hybrid/EV battery pack heater. The engine control module uses this request and other vehicle inputs to decide if and what speed the cooling fans should operate. The engine control module sends the cooling fan command to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 sends the signal to the cooling fans to operate and at what speed. The hybrid/EV battery pack cooling system could be activated when the vehicle is operating, during charging, or when the vehicle is OFF and maintaining the hybrid/EV battery pack temperature. Refer to Automatic HVAC Description and Operation .

If the vehicle is in Charge Mode and the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 requests the cooling fans to operate, if the engine control module is not awake, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 will control the cooling fans. If active cooling is needed, the engine control module wakes up to operate the air conditioning control module and then the engine control module is the master controller for the fans.

The Hybrid/EV Battery Pack Coolant Control Valve is used to manage the flow of coolant circulating through the hybrid/EV battery temperature control system. The valve has one fluid input port and three fluid output ports, identified as Radiator, Bypass, and Chiller. The valve has an internal valve body that is rotated by the valve motor to different positions to control which fluid ports are connected. The valve operates through 90 degrees. When the valve is directing coolant to the Radiator port, coolant is routed through a front-mounted heat exchanger. When the valve is in the Bypass position, coolant is routed through the battery pack without passing through additional heat exchangers. When the valve is in the Chiller position coolant is routed through a heat exchanger that allows the A/C cooling system to reduce coolant temperature. The valve can be moved to several intermediate positions between Bypass and Chiller, for blended cooling of the hybrid/EV battery pack coolant for optimum efficiency.

The valve provides position feedback to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 based on a potentiometer in the valve. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 uses this feedback to monitor the valve position. Different valve positions correspond to different resistance values. When the ignition is first turned on the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 determines and records the sensor values corresponding to the end-stop positions of the valve by moving the valve to an end-stop and back to its original position. This is referred to as the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 "diagnostic learn" of the valve. This provides a valve shaft breakage test and allows the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 to "learn" the position feedback value that corresponds to that end-stop. The end-stop that is used at each ignition key cycle alternates between each end-stop.

The hybrid/EV battery pack coolant level sensor is attached to the coolant surge tank. The level sensor is installed as part of the Customer Satisfaction Enhancement on 2011 and early 2012 vehicles. The level sensor is a 2 state switch which changes state when the level of the hybrid/EV battery pack coolant in the surge tank reaches approximately 100mL. The sensor resistance changes states when the battery coolant level in the surge tank gets low. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 uses the hybrid/EV battery pack coolant level sensor to determine if disabling the hybrid/EV battery pack charging operation is necessary due to a loss of coolant.

The hybrid/EV battery pack cooling system circulates a pre-mixed DEX-COOL® which is a 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL® and de-ionized water. De-ionized water is required for high voltage isolation and to prevent corrosion from effecting heat sink performance. Always use pre-mixed coolant and never use tap water in the battery coolant system.

Passenger Compartment Heater System Description and Operation

Passenger Compartment Heater Coolant Control Valve and Auxiliary Heater Coolant Pump

The passenger compartment heater coolant control valve is also controlled by hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 to assist in regulating passenger compartment comfort based on presence or absence of engine heat. Refer to Automatic HVAC Description and Operation .

The passenger compartment heater system uses the engine radiator, the two 12 V pulse width modulated (PWM) radiator fans, a 12 V auxiliary heater coolant pump, a passenger compartment heater coolant control valve, a high voltage coolant heater control module and a heater core. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 operates the two radiator fans in response to engine temperature.

The passenger compartment heater coolant control valve has two positions. When commanded in bypass mode, as when the engine is OFF, the passenger compartment heater coolant control valve separates the engine and the cabin heater control module coolant loops to prevent heat generated by the cabin heater control module for passenger compartment heating from dissipating into the engine coolant loop. After the engine starts up and is warmed up, excess engine heat will allowed to assist the cabin heater control module in heating the passenger compartment, the passenger compartment heater coolant control valve is commanded to link mode and the two coolant loops are connected.

The HVAC control module turns on the auxiliary heater coolant pump and monitors the temperature sensors in the passenger compartment and coolant loop to determine if the high voltage cabin heater control module is needed. Passenger compartment heat is provided by air flowing through the heater core. The heater core is heated by coolant from the engine, the high voltage cabin heater control module or both. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 will command the position of the passenger compartment heater coolant control valve to either isolate the passenger compartment heater loop from the engine coolant loop or link the two loops together to maximize efficiency depending on the passenger compartment heat requirements. When operating the vehicle in cold temperatures, the engine may run for short periods to assist in maximizing heat efficiency to the passenger compartment depending on the outside temperature and the passenger compartment heat requirements.

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 will command the passenger compartment heater coolant control valve into bypass mode when the module goes to sleep, at controller wake-up, and during other times except

  1. During learn (after extended loss of 12 V power to the controller)
  2. When the scan tool is sending a command.
  3. If the valve is stuck in an intermediate position (between two end positions) due to failure or debris.

The passenger compartment heater cooling system circulates a 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL® and deionized water.

14 V Power Module Cooling

The 14 V power module is air-cooled. Refer to Accessory Power Module Description and Operation. The 14 V power module fan is powered by a brushless DC motor and has operating speeds between 0-3900 RPM. The 14 V power module fan is serviced separately from 14 V power module assembly. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 will command the 14 V power module fan while in RUN mode.
