Circuit/System Description

The crankshaft position sensor circuits consist of an engine control module (ECM) supplied 5 V reference circuit, low reference circuit, and an output signal circuit. The crankshaft position sensor is an internally magnetic biased digital output integrated circuit sensing device. The sensor detects magnetic flux changes of the teeth and slots of a 58-tooth reluctor wheel on the crankshaft. Each tooth on the reluctor wheel is spaced at 60-tooth spacing, with 2 missing teeth for the reference gap. The crankshaft position sensor produces an ON/OFF DC voltage of varying frequency, with 58 output pulses per crankshaft revolution. The frequency of the crankshaft position sensor output depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The crankshaft position sensor sends a digital signal, which represents an image of the crankshaft reluctor wheel, to the ECM as each tooth on the wheel rotates past the crankshaft position sensor. The ECM uses each crankshaft position signal pulse to determine crankshaft speed and decodes the crankshaft reluctor wheel reference gap to identify crankshaft position. This information is then used to determine the optimum ignition and injection points of the engine. The ECM also uses crankshaft position sensor output information to determine the camshaft relative position to the crankshaft, to control camshaft phasing, and to detect cylinder misfire.

The ECM also generates and sends a replicated signal over a dedicated line to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1.

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 uses crankshaft speed and position to confirm internal combustion engine (ICE) status in various modes; for example to confirm Autostart and Autostop functionality. In addition to the signal sent over the dedicated line, this information is also sent from the ECM to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 over serial data. The serial data status will be used by the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 in the event of a failure of this circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0335 or P0336

The vehicle is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0335

No signal from the crank sensor for more than 2 seconds.

P0336

The signal from the crank sensor is invalid for more than 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0335 and P0336 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0335 and P0336 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

A high resistance ground for either the power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module, or the ECM may cause these DTCs to set intermittently. Inspect all grounds for good, secure connections.

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 determines the engine speed which is based on the hybrid/EV battery pack state of charge. The engine control module (ECM) achieves throttle positioning by providing a pulse width modulated voltage to the throttle actuator motor. The throttle blade is spring loaded in both directions, and the default position is slightly open. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 can detect a condition where the engine is cranking but does not start or has stalled, or if the engine speed does not match the commanded speed.

The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is controlled by the ECM. The DC motor located in the throttle body drives the throttle blade. In order to decrease engine speed, along with spark and fuel delivery changes the ECM commands the throttle closed reducing air flow into the engine and the engine speed decreases. In order to increase engine speed, the ECM commands the throttle plate open allowing more air to pass the throttle plate. If the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 detects the actual engine speed is not within a predetermined range of the commanded engine speed, this DTC sets.

The drive motor position sensor is monitored by the motor control module. The motor control module monitors the angular position, speed and direction of the drive motor rotor based upon the signals of the resolver-type position sensor. The position sensor contains a drive coil, two driven coils, and an irregular shaped metallic rotor. The metallic rotor is mechanically attached to the shaft of the drive motor. At vehicle ON, the motor control module outputs a 7 V AC, 10 kHz excitation signal to the drive coil. The drive coil excitation signal creates a magnetic field surrounding the two driven coils and the irregular shaped rotor. The motor control module then monitors the two driven coil circuits for return signals-Sine and Cosine waveforms, often referred to as SIN and COS. The position of the irregular metallic rotor causes the magnetically-induced return signals of the driven coils to vary in size and shape. A comparison of the two driven coil signals allows the motor control module to determine the exact position, speed and direction of the drive motor rotor. The drive motor 1 position sensor is serviceable separately from the drive motor assembly.

The vehicle is ON.

  1. The drive motor position sensor circuits operate at very low current. These circuits are susceptible to moisture intrusion, corrosion, and terminal damage. Extreme care must be taken when probing terminals and manipulating harnesses. Poor terminal connections can result in intermittent operation.
  2. If the customer comments that the problem occurs only during moist environmental conditions: rain, snow, vehicle wash, etc., inspect the sensor wiring for signs of water intrusion.
  3. The sensor circuit loops are a twisted pair with each pair covered in a foil shield. The shield circuits outside of the transmission are grounded to a stud on the power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module.
  4. The drive motor position sensor harness circuits are shielded. Improperly grounded shield circuits may cause inaccurate sensor signals.

The drive motor position sensor is monitored by the motor control module. The motor control module monitors the angular position, speed and direction of the drive motor rotor based upon the signals of the resolver-type position sensor. The position sensor contains a drive coil, two driven coils and an irregular shaped metallic rotor. The metallic rotor is mechanically attached to the shaft of the drive motor. At vehicle ON, the motor control module outputs a 7 V AC, 10 kHz excitation signal to the drive coil. The drive coil excitation signal creates a magnetic field surrounding the two driven coils and the irregular shaped rotor. The motor control module then monitors the two driven coil circuits for return signals-Sine and Cosine waveforms, often referred to as SIN and COS. The position of the irregular metallic rotor causes the magnetically-induced return signals of the driven coils to vary in size and shape. A comparison of the two driven coils signals allows the motor control module to determine the exact position, speed and direction of the drive motor rotor. The drive motor 2 position sensor is serviceable separately from the drive motor assembly.

The vehicle is ON.

P0C57 or P0C61

Circuit voltage is less than 0.5 V.

P0C58 or P0C62

Circuit voltage is greater than 4.5 V.

P0A45

  1. The drive motor position sensor circuits operate at very low current. These circuits are susceptible to moisture intrusion, corrosion, and terminal damage. Extreme care must be taken when probing terminals and manipulating harnesses. Poor terminal connections can result in intermittent operation.
  2. If the customer comments that the problem occurs only during moist environmental conditions: rain, snow, vehicle wash, etc., inspect the sensor wiring for signs of water intrusion.
  3. The sensor circuit loops are a twisted pair with each pair covered in a foil shield. The shield circuits outside of the transmission are grounded to a stud on the power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module.
  4. The drive motor position sensor harness circuits are shielded. Improperly grounded shield circuits may cause inaccurate sensor signals.

The power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module, contains the motor control modules and the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1. Each motor control module operates its respective drive motor based upon hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 commands. Each motor control module controls the speed, direction and output torque of its respective drive motor through the sequencing actuation of high current switching transistors called insulated gate bipolar transistors. Each drive motor operates utilizing 3-phase alternating current (AC) electricity. Each insulated gate bipolar transistor operates a single phase of the drive motor. Each phase is individually identified as U, V and W. Each motor control module monitors the current of each phase in order to detect power inverter module over current conditions.

The high voltage contactor relays are closed.

The motor control module detects excessive current flow through the switched portion of the insulated gate bipolar transistor.

Cranks But Does Not Start

When system commands engine Crank, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 will command drive motor 1 to rotate the engine. The drive motor will continue to rotate the engine at a specific RPM until the engine starts and causes increased engine RPM. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 will cease engine rotation if an increase in engine RPM is not observed after several seconds. This function may have the appearance of a start/stall condition.

Engine Stall

If a stall occurs after a successful engine start, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 will recognize the drop in engine RPM and command drive motor 1 to maintain engine RPM in an attempt to restart the engine. Drive motor 1 will continue to rotate the engine until the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 commands it to stop. The engine may be rotated for many minutes after the actual engine stall condition occurred and is typically stopped only after the hybrid/EV battery state of charge gets too low. This function may have the appearance of a running engine.

DTC P0AB9 is a Type A DTC.

Any condition that causes the engine to stall and/or not start may set this DTC. Possible conditions include

  1. Fuel conditions such as low level, low pressure, or contamination.
  2. Engine conditions such as low compression.
  3. Restricted exhaust or air intake systems.

The power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module, contains the motor control modules and the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1. Each motor control module operates its respective drive motor based upon hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 commands. Each motor control module controls the speed, direction and output torque of its respective drive motor through the sequencing actuation of high current switching transistors called insulated gate bipolar transistors. Each drive motor operates utilizing 3-phase alternating current (AC) electricity. Each insulated gate bipolar transistor operates a single phase of the drive motor. Each phase is individually identified as U, V and W. Each motor control module monitors the current of each phase in order to detect power inverter module over current conditions.

Because all the motor generator phase circuits are electrically joined together, they should each flow about the same amount of current. The motor control modules perform a mathematical calculation to verify that the phase current sensors are accurate. If the U-V-W phase current sensors indicate about the same amount of phase current, the sum of the calculation should be near zero. If the U-V-W phase currents are not similar, this DTC will set.

  1. The vehicle is ON.
  2. The high voltage contactor relays are closed.

The sum of the 3 phase current sensors is greater than 156 A.

  1. DTCs P0BFD and P0BFE are Type A DTCs.
  2. The power inverter module requests the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 to open the high voltage contactor relays.

The drive motor position sensor is monitored by the drive motor control module. The motor control module monitors the angular position, speed and direction of the drive motor rotor based upon the signals of the resolver-type position sensor. The position sensor contains a drive coil, two driven coils and an irregular shaped metallic rotor. The metallic rotor is mechanically attached to the shaft of the drive motor generator. At vehicle ON, the motor control module outputs a 7 V AC, 10 kHz excitation signal to the drive coil. The drive coil excitation signal creates a magnetic field surrounding the two driven coils and the irregular shaped rotor. The motor control module then monitors the two driven coil circuits for a return signal. The position of the irregular metallic rotor causes the magnetically-induced return signals of the driven coils to vary in size and shape. A comparison of the two driven coils signals allows the motor control module to determine the exact position, speed and direction of the drive motor rotor.

A measurement called offset is needed for accurate determination of the motor position. Offset is the relationship between the position sensor and the drive motor generator output shaft. Whenever the vehicle is cycled to OFF, the motor control module attempts to learn the offset of the drive motor position sensor by rapidly oscillating the motor and observing the position sensor signals.

The motor control module will attempt to learn the position at hybrid wake-up, vehicle ON only if no valid offset value has ever been learned. The non-learned condition would normally occur only after a motor control module reprogramming event. The control modules listed below are part of the power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module, and are not serviced separately

  1. Auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module
  2. Drive motor 1 control module
  3. Drive motor 2 control module
  4. Hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1

P0C17, P0C18

  1. Vehicle is cycled from OFF to ON.
  2. The motor control module has no valid drive motor position sensor offset value in memory.

P1B0F, P1B10

  1. Vehicle is cycled from ON to OFF.
  2. The motor control module has learned a valid drive motor position sensor offset value at least once.

Condition 1

Position sensor offset value not learned because drive motor speed is greater than 50 RPM.

Condition 2

Position sensor offset value not learned because hybrid battery voltage as observed at the motor control module is less than 192V.

Condition 3

Position sensor offset value not learned because drive motor phase to phase current difference is less than 15 A.

P0C17, P0C18

  1. DTCs P0C17 and P0C18 are Type A DTCs.
  2. Propulsion is disabled. The vehicle cannot operate without a previously stored offset value or the ability to learn offset.

P1B0F, P1B10

  1. DTCs P1B0F and P1B10 are Type B DTCs.
  2. The motor control module operates the drive motor generator using the last valid learned offset.
  1. DTCs P0C17 and P0C18 are Type A DTCs.
  2. DTCs P1B0F and P1B10 are Type B DTCs.
  1. If the vehicle is powered off while driving, DTC P1B0F or P1B10 may set.
  2. The drive motor position sensor circuits operate at very low current. These circuits are susceptible to moisture intrusion, corrosion, and terminal damage. Extreme care must be taken when probing terminals and manipulating harnesses. Poor terminal connections can result in intermittent operation.
  3. If the customer comments that the problem occurs only during moist environmental conditions: rain, snow, vehicle wash, etc., inspect the sensor wiring for signs of water intrusion.
  4. The sensor circuit loops are a twisted pair with each pair covered in a foil shield. The shield circuits outside of the transmission are grounded to a stud on the power inverter module.
  5. The drive motor position sensor harness circuits are shielded. Improperly grounded shield circuits may cause inaccurate sensor signals.
  6. Intermittent appearance of DTC P0A3F, P0A40, P0C52, P0C53, P0C5C, P0C5D, or P1B03 for drive motor 1 or DTC P0A45, P0A46, P0C57, P0C58, P0C61, P0C62, or P1B04 for drive motor 2 suggests intermittent position sensor circuit or connector problems.
  7. Drive motor control modules 1 and 2 monitor and report their respective Drive Motor Position Sensor Offset Learn Status. This information can be observed using a scan tool. Status is updated during the transition from vehicle ON to vehicle OFF during normal conditions. Alternating, and possibly intermittent, appearance of "Not Run," "Learn Failed Motor Speed Not Zero," and "Motor Current Incorrect" suggests intermittent position sensor circuit or connector problems.
  8. Intermittent appearance of "Motor Current Incorrect" suggests loose 3-phase cable assembly connections at the power inverter module or drive motor.

The drive motor position sensor is monitored by the drive motor control module. The motor control module monitors the angular position, speed and direction of the drive motor rotor based upon the signals of the resolver-type position sensor. The position sensor contains a drive coil, two driven coils and an irregular shaped metallic rotor. The metallic rotor is mechanically attached to the shaft of the drive motor generator. At vehicle ON, the motor control module outputs a 7 V AC, 10 kHz excitation signal to the drive coil. The drive coil excitation signal creates a magnetic field surrounding the two driven coils and the irregular shaped rotor. The motor control module then monitors the two driven coil circuits for a return signal. The position of the irregular metallic rotor causes the magnetically-induced return signals of the driven coils to vary in size and shape. A comparison of the two driven coils signals allows the motor control module to determine the exact position, speed and direction of the drive motor rotor.

A measurement called offset is needed for accurate determination of the motor position. Offset is the relationship between the position sensor and the drive motor generator output shaft. Whenever the vehicle is cycled to OFF, the motor control module attempts to learn the offset of the drive motor position sensor by rapidly oscillating the motor and observing the position sensor signals.

The control modules listed below are part of the power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module, and are not serviced separately

  1. Auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module
  2. Drive motor 1 control module
  3. Drive motor 2 control module

  2. The current learned value differs from the previous learned value by greater than 10 degrees.

DTC P0C4E is a Type A DTC.

DTC P0C4E is a Type A DTC.

This DTC sets when the drive motor control module is unable to learn the position of the drive motor. When this DTC sets, or after replacement of a drive motor position sensor, drive motor, or power inverter module, it is possible that a special wide angle learn needs to occur. This wide angle learn occurs when the drive motor control module sees a programming event on the High Speed GMLAN bus.

For intermittent appearance of DTCs

  1. The drive motor position sensor circuits operate at very low current. These circuits are susceptible to moisture intrusion, corrosion, and terminal damage. Extreme care must be taken when probing terminals and manipulating harnesses. Poor terminal connections can result in intermittent operation.
  2. If the customer comments that the problem occurs only during moist environmental conditions: rain, snow, vehicle wash, etc., inspect the sensor wiring for signs of water intrusion.
  3. The sensor circuit loops are a twisted pair with each pair covered in a foil shield. The shield circuits outside of the transmission are grounded to a stud on the power inverter module.
  4. The drive motor position sensor harness circuits are shielded. Improperly grounded shield circuits may cause inaccurate sensor signals.
  5. Intermittent appearance of DTC P0A3F, P0A40, P0C52, P0C53, P0C5C, P0C5D, or P1B03 suggests intermittent position sensor circuit or connector problems.
  6. Drive motor control modules 1 and 2 monitor and report their respective Drive Motor Position Sensor Offset Learn Status. This information can be observed using a scan tool. Status is updated during the transition from vehicle ON to vehicle OFF during normal conditions. Alternating, and possibly intermittent, appearance of "Not Run," "Learn Failed Motor Speed Not Zero," and "Motor Current Incorrect" suggests intermittent position sensor circuit or connector problems.

The transmission internal mode switch, often referred to as the automatic transmission manual shift shaft position switch, contains two sliding hall-effect switch assemblies attached to the control valve body within the transmission. The 9 outputs from the switches indicate which position is selected by the transmission manual shaft. Four outputs (A, B, C, P) are range selection inputs to the transmission control module (TCM). Five outputs (R1, R2, D1, D2, S) are direction selection inputs to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1. The Range input signals are represented as TCM scan tool parameter Internal Mode Switch A, B, C, and P. The Direction input signals are represented as hybrid powertrain control module scan tool parameters Internal Mode Switch 2 - R1, R2, D1, D2, and S. The input voltage at the modules is high when a switch is open and low when a switch is closed to ground. Each control module independently supplies power and ground to its respective switch assembly.

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 is internal to the power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module, and is not serviced separately.

The power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module, contains DC high voltage capacitors and a resistor circuit intended to discharge the electrical energy stored within those capacitors. Whenever the high voltage contactors are opened, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 connects the internal resistor circuit across the capacitor circuit. The level of the high voltage is monitored by the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 before and after the resistor circuit has been connected. If the voltage level remains high for too long, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 sets this DTC and then commands the motor control modules to connect the drive motor 3 phase circuits across the DC high voltage positive and negative circuits thereby discharging the capacitors.

Accessory DC Power Control Module Replacement

Location

The 14V power module, also called the accessory DC power control module, is located in the rear trunk compartment underneath the floor stowage trim panel. It is attached to the chassis with four fasteners and connected to a plastic cooling duct. The 14V power module has a high voltage pigtail that passes through the floor of the rear compartment and connects to a high voltage cable that comes from the hybrid/EV battery pack. Also connected to the 14V power module are the 12V cables, + positive and - negative, and a signal connector for serial data.

Operating Functions

The 14V power module is an electronic device that takes the place of the generator on a traditional vehicle. On a hybrid or electric vehicle the 14V power module converts high voltage (300V) direct current (DC) to low voltage (12V) DC for accessory electrical operation and to charge the 12V battery.

Normally, the 14V power module only supplies 12V DC when the vehicle is under a normal drive cycle. However there are certain instances when the vehicle is being charged through a standard wall socket where the14V power module operation is required to sustain the 12V battery.

The 14V power module is capable of supplying up to 180 Amps of 12V DC.

Communication and Hosted Diagnostics

The 14V power module has internal diagnostic tests that run at both power-up and during operation. All DTCs from the 14V power module are reported to and hosted by the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1. The 14V power module only communicates with the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 and only over serial data.

Circuit Inputs

Inputs to the 14V power module include the high voltage and 12V circuits. The 14V power module also has two 12V discrete inputs, Accessory and Run/Crank, either one has to be at a high level in order for it to wake up. The 14V power module is connected to the powertrain expansion communication bus and communicates with the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1. The 14V power module monitors various internal components for current, voltage and temperature. The 14V power module will not begin supplying 12V DC until

  1. Either the Accessory input or Run/Crank input are high, and
  2. The appropriate serial data enable signal is communicated by the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1.

The 14V power module will not begin conversion of voltage however, until the appropriate serial data enable signal is sent by the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1.

For more information on the 12V Battery Charging System, refer to Charging System Description and Operation .

Circuit Outputs

The only outputs supported by the 14V power module are serial data communications and 12V DC which powers the 12V components in the vehicle and charges the 12V battery. Low voltage 12V cables on the hybrid/EV vehicle do not require unique coloring or servicing procedures.

Overview

The power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module, converts high voltage direct current (DC) electrical energy to 3 phase alternating current (AC) electrical energy. The power inverter module is cooled with pre-mixed Dexcool® circulating through a cooling system that is separate from the engine cooling system. The hybrid cooling system utilizes a heat exchanger at the front of the vehicle and electric pumps to circulate the coolant. The engine control module (ECM) monitors a temperature sensor in the hybrid cooling system and operates the radiator fan and the hybrid coolant pumps in response to system temperature.

High Voltage Circuits

Direct Current (DC)

The power inverter module is connected to the positive and negative terminals of the high voltage DC hybrid/EV battery pack. Both of the negative and positive high voltage DC battery poles are isolated from the vehicle chassis by a specific amount of resistance. Each high voltage DC bus is switched ON or OFF by a high voltage, high current contactor relay contained within the hybrid/EV battery pack. All high voltage DC negative and positive DC cables are individually shielded and orange in color to alert the technician to the potential presence of high voltage. The electric air conditioning compressor high voltage DC cables are externally connected at the power inverter module.

Three Phase Alternating Current (AC)

Three individual cables connect each phase of the drive motor to the power inverter module. Each individually shielded cable is orange in color to alert the technician to the potential presence of high voltage. A single shielded cable connects the auxiliary transmission fluid pump to the power inverter module. This cable contains 3 individual wires that are connected to the 3 phases of the auxiliary transmission fluid pump. The cable is orange in color to alert the technician to the potential presence of high voltage.

Low Voltage Circuits

The 14V power module, also called the accessory DC power control module, is the device which converts high voltage (300V) DC to low voltage (12V) DC for accessory electrical operation and to charge the 12V accessory battery.

Low Voltage (12V) Direct Current

Low voltage (12V) cables on the hybrid-electric vehicle do not require unique coloring or servicing procedures.

Drive Motor Generator Power Inverter Module

Overview

The power inverter module contains 3 motor control modules and the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1. Two of the motor control modules operate their respective drive motors based upon power inverter module commands. The third motor control module controls the auxiliary transmission fluid pump. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 and the motor control modules share the power inverter module ignition voltage circuit, battery voltage circuits and chassis ground. All four modules are flash-programmable micro-processors.

Hybrid Powertrain Control Module

Location

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 is a non-serviceable, flash-programmable micro-processor contained within the power inverter module.

Operating Functions

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 is the main controller of powertrain operation. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 determines when to perform normal operating modes such as electric mode, extended range mode, and regenerative braking. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 also operates in conjunction with the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 to determine when to enable and disable the DC high voltage circuits. Each motor control module operates the applicable motor based upon hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 commands.

Communication and Hosted Diagnostics

The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 is the host controller for DTC information for the following control modules

  1. 14V power module
  2. Drive motor 1 control module
  3. Drive motor 2 control module
  4. Auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module

These modules diagnose their own operation and determine when a fault condition is present. The 14V power module communicates diagnostic status to the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 over serial data.

All 3 motor control modules and the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 exchange information and commands on a serial peripheral interface bus internal communication circuit as well as the hi-speed hybrid GMLAN communication circuit.

In the event a hosted module communicates a fault condition, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 will determine if one or more operating modes are affected and notify the vehicle operator by requesting the MIL illuminate and/or by displaying a message in the Driver Information Center. In addition, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 will store the associated DTC information for retrieval by a scan tool. Some hosted modules may require an ignition cycle to clear certain DTCs from the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1.

Circuit Inputs

In addition to data parameters, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 directly monitors the following signal circuits

  1. Transmission internal mode switch direction and Park/Neutral switch signals
  2. Crankshaft position sensor signal
  3. High voltage interlock circuit

Motor Control Modules

Location

Both of the drive motors and the auxiliary transmission fluid pump motor are located within the transmission. They are each controlled by their own motor control module; each module is a flash-programmable micro-processor. Each motor control module is contained within the power inverter module. Also contained within the power inverter module is the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 micro-processor.

Operating Functions

The motor control modules operate their respective motors based upon hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 commands. Each motor control module controls the speed, direction, and output torque of its respective drive motor or the auxiliary transmission fluid pump through the sequencing actuation of high current switching transistors called insulated gate bipolar transistors.

Communication and Hosted Diagnostics

In addition to the internal serial peripheral interface bus communication circuit that the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 and each motor control module control use to communicate, the motor control module also communicate on the hi-speed and hybrid serial data circuits. The motor control module does not store its own Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) information. The hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1 will store motor control module associated DTC information for retrieval by a scan tool. The scan tool can communicate directly with each motor control module in order to retrieve data parameters only.

Circuit Inputs

In addition to data parameters, each motor control module monitors its respective motor for voltage, current, speed, direction and temperature. Additionally, the motor control module monitors the insulated gate bipolar transistor components for temperature and proper operation. Some of the motor control module operation data is shared with the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1.

Circuit Outputs

Each motor control module controls its respective insulated gate bipolar transistor driver board that in-turn controls each motor. The motors operate using 3-phase AC electricity. 3 cables connect each drive motor to the power inverter module. Each individually shielded cable is orange in color to alert the technician that the potential for high voltage is present. A single shielded cable connects the auxiliary transmission fluid pump to the power inverter module. This cable contains 3 individual wires that are connected to the 3 phases of the auxiliary transmission fluid pump. The cable is orange in color to alert the technician to the potential presence of high voltage.

Accessory DC Power Control Module

Location

The 14V power module, often referred to as the accessory DC power control module is located in the rear compartment. Refer to Accessory DC Power Control Module Description and Operation for description and operation information.

Vehicles are typically subject to certain legal requirements that limit the amount of electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can be generated by the vehicles electronic devices. Additionally, the electronic devices within the vehicle must be able to withstand a certain amount of EMI without affecting their operation. EMI is generated whenever electrical current flows through a circuit. The amount of EMI generated, or amplitude, is usually dependent upon the amount of current flow, amperage, and the on-off pattern of current flow through the circuit, frequency. The EMI requirements are generally referred to as electromagnetic compatibility.

There are many ways of ensuring the vehicle meets electromagnetic compatibility requirements. These include

  1. Adding capacitors and resistors to certain electrical circuits
  2. Regulating the frequency at which a component may operate
  3. Shielding the wires, cables and components

Circuit Design

The power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module, and the 14V power module, often referred to as the accessory DC power control module, each contain filter capacitors connected to the high voltage circuits. These capacitors are necessary to reduce the voltage spikes that occur as a result of the switching of current On and Off. Reducing voltage spikes reduces EMI. The frequency of current switching is also closely regulated. Too high a frequency can cause an increase in EMI generation.

Wiring/Cable Design

Different types of wire/cable shielding methods are utilized in the vehicle. Common types of circuit shielding include twisted-pair and internal braid or foil. Twisted pair is typically used in circuits such as serial data circuits. The wire pair is twisted together at a particular turns-per-length ratio. Shielded cable is utilized for all other circuits requiring either protection from external EMI or to reduce EMI radiation of the cable itself into other nearby components or circuits.

High Voltage Cable

  1. 300-Volt Battery Positive and Negative Cable
  2. Drive Motor Generator Power Inverter Module 3 Phase Cable Assembly
  3. Air Conditioning and Drive Motor Battery Cooling Compressor

The high voltage cables utilize internal braid shielding. Typically, both ends of the internal braid shield are attached to chassis ground. All of the high voltage, internally shielded cables are grounded at their cable end attachment points. Mounting blocks, where used, perform the shield to chassis ground connection. Connection points not serviced with a mounting block utilize a separate ring terminal.

Low and Intermediate Voltage Wiring

The signal circuits for the transmission sensors utilize shielding protection. The drive motor position sensor circuits utilize internal foil shielding. The wiring harness external of the transmission assembly is connected to chassis ground with ring terminals at the power inverter module. The internal transmission wiring harness is attached to chassis ground with a ring terminal at the valve body assembly.

The auxiliary transmission fluid pump 3 phase cables utilize internal foil shielding. The wiring harness shield is connected to chassis ground within the power inverter module.

Component Shielding

Certain components utilize their structure to effectively shield EMI. Metal covers, chassis grounded metal cases and electro-magnetically conductive gaskets may all be part of a components electromagnetic compatibility design.

Shielding Loss

A loss of proper shielding may result in poor AM band radio reception and/or incorrect sensor circuit readings depending upon the location of the shield loss. Damage that has penetrated to the insulated conductor of high voltage cables is not repairable. Minor damage to the outer sheathing can be repaired, refer to Drive Motor Power Inverter Module 3 Phase Cable Inspection , . Certain Low and Intermediate voltage shielded wiring harnesses may be repairable. Refer to Wiring Repairs , and Splicing Twisted or Shielded Cable .

High Voltage Monitoring Systems Description

The hybrid/EV system monitors several high voltage components for attempted access. Additionally, a minimum amount of isolation resistance is maintained at all times between both negative and positive poles of the hybrid/EV battery and the vehicle chassis. Microprocessors internal to the power inverter module, often referred to as the drive motor generator power inverter module, and the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2 monitor the hybrid/EV system for access and loss of isolation.

High Voltage Interlock Circuit

The high voltage interlock circuit is a wire loop that passes through certain high voltage components. The high voltage interlock circuit is used to determine if access to high voltage components is being attempted. The opening of these high voltage components causes the high voltage interlock circuit to open. The hybrid/EV system may react to the loss of high voltage interlock circuit continuity by opening the high voltage contactor relays and discharging the high voltage capacitors. The high voltage interlock circuit signal is generated by the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2. The high voltage interlock circuit status is monitored by the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2, the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 1, and each drive motor control module.

High Voltage DC Chassis Isolation

The hybrid/EV system monitors the electrical potential between each high voltage bus and the vehicle chassis. High voltage should always be isolated from the vehicle chassis by a certain amount of resistance to avoid the potential for a life threatening current path. In the event that a high voltage leak path to the vehicle chassis is detected, the hybrid/EV system will set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). High voltage DC chassis isolation is monitored by the drive motor control modules and the hybrid/EV powertrain control module 2.

Testing for loss of isolation requires special tools and procedures. Because of the high voltage present in the hybrid/EV system, a loss of isolation may occur due to insulation breakdown. Insulation breakdown typically occurs only when high voltages and/or current is present. Conditions such as insulation breakdown cannot be diagnosed with a typical DMM because high voltage is not used by the DMM when measuring resistance.

Vehicle Operating Modes Description

This vehicle is an Extended Range Electric Vehicle. It uses an electric propulsion system to drive the vehicle at all times. Electricity is the vehicle's primary source of energy, while gasoline is the secondary source.

The vehicle has two modes of operation - Electric and Extended Range. In both modes, the vehicle is propelled by the electric motors that are internal to the transmission. Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy to drive the wheels and propel the vehicle. The vehicle's performance remains the same in either mode.

This overview is not a comprehensive list of all aspects of the Extended Range Electric Vehicle. Refer to Automatic Transmission 4ET50 Electronic Component Description for information regarding transmission operation. More detailed and comprehensive information is also available through the dealer training program.

Electric Mode

Electric Mode is the primary mode of operation for this vehicle. While in Electric mode, the vehicle is powered by electrical energy stored in the high voltage hybrid/EV battery pack. The vehicle can operate in this mode for a range of up to 40-80 km (25-50 miles) until the battery has reached a low state of charge.

Extended Range Mode

When the vehicle reaches the end of its electric range, it switches to Extended Range Mode. In this mode, electricity is produced by the drive motor, which is driven by the internal combustion engine (ICE). This secondary source of electric power extends the vehicle range. Operation will continue in extended range mode until the vehicle can be plugged in to recharge the hybrid/EV battery pack and restore electric mode.

The hybrid/EV battery pack will continue to provide some power and work together with the ICE to provide peak performance when it is required, such as driving up a steep incline or during high acceleration. The hybrid/EV battery pack will not be recharged while in extended range mode.

Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Starting

This vehicle does not use a 12 V starter motor to crank the ICE. A much more powerful 300 V motor, drive motor 1, located within the transmission is utilized to crank the ICE. Drive motor 1 can rotate the ICE to operating speed (800 RPM) within just a few hundred milliseconds. This allows near-instant starting of the ICE.

The vehicle's on-board computers determine when the ICE needs to run. Some of the normal vehicle conditions that force the ICE to run are

  1. The hybrid/EV battery pack has a low state of charge
  2. The hood is open or not completely latched
  3. The ICE is needed to maintain the hybrid/EV battery pack temperature
  4. The ICE needs to run for maintenance
  5. Extremely low ambient temperatures

When the hood is open, the ICE will run without turning off. The hybrid/EV battery pack is neither charged nor discharged when this occurs.

Some hybrid/EV battery pack faults will cause the ICE to run without turning off.

Service Mode

Service Mode is available for service and diagnostics and to verify the proper operation of the MIL and may be required for emission inspection purposes. With vehicle OFF, and the brake pedal not applied, pressing and holding the POWER button for more than 5 seconds will place the vehicle in Service Mode. The instruments and audio systems will operate as they do in ON, but the vehicle will not be able to be driven. The propulsion system will not start in Service Mode.

Engine Unavailable

If the vehicle runs out of fuel, or the power inverter module has detected the ICE will not start due to a malfunction, the vehicle can continue to be driven in Electric Mode.

Maintenance Modes

Engine Maintenance Mode

Engine Maintenance Mode runs the engine to keep it in good working condition when the vehicle has been operated in Electric Mode only for a prolonged period. Engine Maintenance Mode will run the ICE, even if the hybrid/EV battery pack state of charge is sufficient to operate the vehicle in Electric Mode.

Fuel Maintenance Mode

When only Electric Mode is used for a prolonged period, Fuel Maintenance Mode will run the ICE to use up old fuel. The ICE will run until enough fresh fuel is added or a low fuel level is detected. During Fuel Maintenance Mode the ICE may cycle on and off.

Regenerative Braking

When the vehicle is coasting or braking the power inverter module may operate the drive motor as a generator in an Electrical Generation Mode. Operating as an electrical generator, the drive motor exerts a driveline load that helps to slow the vehicle. The electrical energy that the drive motor creates is transferred by the power inverter module to the hybrid/EV battery pack. Constant communication between the power inverter module and the electronic brake control module allows the blending of regenerative braking force with hydraulic braking force.
