OVERVIEW

WARNINGTo prevent the risk of high-voltage shock, always follow precisely all warnings and service instructions, including instructions to depower the system. The high-voltage hybrid system utilizes approximately 300 volts DC, provided through high-voltage cables to its components and modules. The high-voltage cables and wiring are identified by orange harness tape or orange wire covering. All high-voltage components are marked with high-voltage warning labels with a high-voltage symbol. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.

The transmission assembly has the following components

  1. Single-speed reduction gear
  2. Park pawl mechanism
  3. TR sensor
  4. TCM

System Operation

Broadcast MessageOriginating ModuleMessage Purpose
PATS security dataGWMThe GWM relays PATS status to allow or prohibit electric drive operation.
ABS ActiveABSThe ABS module indicates activity to the TCM.
Transmission HV Discharge CommandPCMThe PCM commands the TCM to discharge the high voltage capacitors.
Traction Battery VoltageBECMThe BECM relays the current HVTB voltage.
Traction Battery Contactor CommandBECMThe BECM indicates that the contactors are opening or closing.
Motor A Torque RequestPCMThe PCM commands a specified output torque from the electric motor.
Inverter Coolant TemperaturePCMThe PCM relays coolant temperature at the high voltage inverters.
DC/DC High VoltageDCDCThe DC/DC converter reports HV bus voltage.
Odometer Master ValueGWMThe GWM shares the master odometer count with all EV HS-CAN modules.

NETWORK MESSAGE CHART

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The TCM receives any immediate shutdown messages from the PCM by way of a dedicated PCM shutoff circuit. The TCM monitors the PCM shutoff circuit and sets the appropriate DTC if a fault is detected.

DTCDescriptionFault Trigger Conditions
P1A0A:01Immediate Shutdown Signal A: General Electrical FailureThis DTC sets if the TCM detects that the PCM has initiated an immediate shutdown.
P1A0A:17Immediate Shutdown Signal A: Circuit Voltage Above ThresholdThis DTC sets if the TCM detects that the PCM shutoff signal is greater than 1.18v.
P1A0A:18Immediate Shutdown Signal A: Circuit Current Below ThresholdThis DTC sets if the TCM detects that the PCM shutoff signal is less than 0.63v.
P1A0A:29Immediate Shutdown Signal A: Signal InvalidThis DTC sets if the TCM detects that the PCM shutoff signal is not within a specified range.

DTC FAULT TRIGGER CONDITIONS

The TCM monitors the low voltage system and sets a DTC if the system voltage falls below or exceeds a calibrated limit.

DTCDescriptionFault Trigger Conditions
P0560:16System Voltage: Circuit Voltage Below ThresholdThis DTC sets when the TCM has detected that the 12V battery voltage has fallen below normal operating range.
