THEORY OF OPERATION

The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor circuits consist of a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplied 5-volt circuit, low reference (ground) circuit, and an output signal circuit. The CMP sensor is an internally magnetic integrated circuit sensing device. The sensor detects magnetic flux changes between the peaks and valleys of a reluctor wheel attached to the camshaft. As each reluctor tooth rotates past the CMP sensor, the resulting change in the magnetic field is used by the sensor electronics to produce a digital output pulse. The sensor returns a digital ON/OFF (HIGH/LOW) DC voltage pulse of varying frequency. The output pulses per camshaft revolution represent an image of the camshaft reluctor wheel. The frequency of the CMP sensor output depends on the velocity of the camshaft. The PCM decodes the tooth pattern to identify camshaft position. This information is then used to sequence the ignition timing and fuel injection events for the engine. The PCM also uses CMP sensor output information to determine the camshaft relative position to the crankshaft, to control the CMP actuator operation if equipped.

WHEN MONITORED

During engine cranking and with the engine running. Battery voltage greater than 10 volts.

SET CONDITION

At least five seconds or 2.5 engine revolutions have elapsed with crankshaft position sensor signals present but no camshaft position sensor signal. One Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The 3.6L has four separate camshafts that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) requires positional information from. There are two Camshaft Position (CMP) sensors on the 3.6L, each CMP sensor consists of four circuits. The sensors are located on the top end of each valve cover, closest to the transmission side of the engine. The CMP sensor is an integrated circuit sensing device and on the end of each camshaft is a magnetic encoder that is programmed with a magnetic pattern. The PCM provides a 5-volt supply and a sensor ground circuit to the CMP sensor and the CMP Sensor provides two camshaft positional signals, the intake and exhaust camshaft position, to the PCM. The sensor detects the magnetically encoded information, a series of magnetic peaks and valleys, from the encoder. As each camshaft rotates, the magnetic encoded pattern passes by the CMP sensor creating a changing magnetic field at the sensor face. The changing magnetic field is interpreted by the sensor electronics and a digital output, ON/OFF or HIGH/LOW pattern, is produced. The length of the pulse widths generated by the CMP varies in size based on the velocity of the camshaft. The PCM decodes the digital pattern to identify the camshaft position. The information from each individual camshaft along with the crankshaft information is used to control and sequence the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system and fuel injection events.

During engine cranking and with the engine running. Battery voltage greater than 10 Volts.

At least five seconds or 2.5 engine revolutions have elapsed with crankshaft position sensor signals present but no camshaft position sensor signal. One Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

P0344-CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INTERMITTENT - 3.6L

Note. The CMP sensor is a dual read sensor reading both camshafts of it's correlating bank.

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The 3.6L has four separate camshafts that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) requires positional information from. There are two Camshaft Position (CMP) sensors on the 3.6L, each CMP sensor consists of four circuits. The sensors are located on the top end of each valve cover, closest to the transmission side of the engine. The CMP sensor is an integrated circuit sensing device and on the end of each camshaft is a magnetic encoder that is programmed with a magnetic pattern. The PCM provides a 5-volt supply and a sensor ground circuit to the CMP sensor and the CMP Sensor provides two camshaft positional signals, the intake and exhaust camshaft position, to the PCM. The sensor detects the magnetically encoded information, a series of magnetic peaks and valleys, from the encoder. As each camshaft rotates, the magnetic encoded pattern passes by the CMP sensor creating a changing magnetic field at the sensor face. The changing magnetic field is interpreted by the sensor electronics and a digital output, ON/OFF or HIGH/LOW pattern, is produced. The length of the pulse widths generated by the CMP varies in size based on the velocity of the camshaft. The PCM decodes the digital pattern to identify the camshaft position. The information from each individual camshaft along with the crankshaft information is used to control and sequence the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system and fuel injection events.

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The 3.6L has four separate camshafts that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) requires positional information from. There are two Camshaft Position (CMP) sensors on the 3.6L, each CMP sensor consists of four circuits. The sensors are located on the top end of each valve cover, closest to the transmission side of the engine. The CMP sensor is an integrated circuit sensing device and on the end of each camshaft is a magnetic encoder that is programmed with a magnetic pattern. The PCM provides a 5-volt supply and a sensor ground circuit to the CMP sensor and the CMP Sensor provides two camshaft positional signals, the intake and exhaust camshaft position, to the PCM. The sensor detects the magnetically encoded information, a series of magnetic peaks and valleys, from the encoder. As each camshaft rotates, the magnetic encoded pattern passes by the CMP sensor creating a changing magnetic field at the sensor face. The changing magnetic field is interpreted by the sensor electronics and a digital output, ON/OFF or HIGH/LOW pattern, is produced. The length of the pulse widths generated by the CMP varies in size based on the velocity of the camshaft. The PCM decodes the digital pattern to identify the camshaft position. The information from each individual camshaft along with the crankshaft information is used to control and sequence the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system and fuel injection events.

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The 3.6L has four separate camshafts that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) requires positional information from. There are two Camshaft Position (CMP) sensors on the 3.6L, each CMP sensor consists of four circuits. The sensors are located on the top end of each valve cover, closest to the transmission side of the engine. The CMP sensor is an integrated circuit sensing device and on the end of each camshaft is a magnetic encoder that is programmed with a magnetic pattern. The PCM provides a 5-volt supply and a sensor ground circuit to the CMP sensor and the CMP Sensor provides two camshaft positional signals, the intake and exhaust camshaft position, to the PCM. The sensor detects the magnetically encoded information, a series of magnetic peaks and valleys, from the encoder. As each camshaft rotates, the magnetic encoded pattern passes by the CMP sensor creating a changing magnetic field at the sensor face. The changing magnetic field is interpreted by the sensor electronics and a digital output, ON/OFF or HIGH/LOW pattern, is produced. The length of the pulse widths generated by the CMP varies in size based on the velocity of the camshaft. The PCM decodes the digital pattern to identify the camshaft position. The information from each individual camshaft along with the crankshaft information is used to control and sequence the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system and fuel injection events.

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The 3.6L has four separate camshafts that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) requires positional information from. There are two Camshaft Position (CMP) sensors on the 3.6L, each CMP sensor consists of four circuits. The sensors are located on the top end of each valve cover, closest to the transmission side of the engine. The CMP sensor is an integrated circuit sensing device and on the end of each camshaft is a magnetic encoder that is programmed with a magnetic pattern. The PCM provides a 5-volt supply and a sensor ground circuit to the CMP sensor and the CMP Sensor provides two camshaft positional signals, the intake and exhaust camshaft position, to the PCM. The sensor detects the magnetically encoded information, a series of magnetic peaks and valleys, from the encoder. As each camshaft rotates, the magnetic encoded pattern passes by the CMP sensor creating a changing magnetic field at the sensor face. The changing magnetic field is interpreted by the sensor electronics and a digital output, ON/OFF or HIGH/LOW pattern, is produced. The length of the pulse widths generated by the CMP varies in size based on the velocity of the camshaft. The PCM decodes the digital pattern to identify the camshaft position. The information from each individual camshaft along with the crankshaft information is used to control and sequence the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system and fuel injection events.

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The State of Change (SOC) catalyst monitor uses the signals from both the upstream and downstream O2 sensors to detect aging of the catalyst. Based on the fact that when a catalyst ages, it loses some of its Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC). As a result, part of the untreated exhaust gases can breakthrough the catalyst and causes the downstream O2 sensor to deviate from its neutral (Stoichiometric) position. By observing the activities in the downstream O2 signal, the degradation level of catalyst can be detected. In general, the higher the downstream O2 sensor SOC value, the more exhaust gas breakthrough and the lower the OSC of the catalytic converter.

The monitor will run at between 1400 and 2300 RPM and MAP vacuum between 40 to 70 kPa (15.0 and 21.0 (Hg)).

If the final State of Change index is within the calibrated fail threshold. Two trip fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Scheme 241: P0430-CATALYST EFFICIENCY (BANK 2)

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The State of Change (SOC) catalyst monitor uses the signals from both the upstream and downstream O2 sensors to detect aging of the catalyst. Based on the fact that when a catalyst ages, it loses some of its Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC). As a result, part of the untreated exhaust gases can breakthrough the catalyst and causes the downstream O2 sensor to deviate from its neutral (Stoichiometric) position. By observing the activities in the downstream O2 signal, the degradation level of catalyst can be detected. In general, the higher the downstream O2 sensor SOC value, the more exhaust gas breakthrough and the lower the OSC of the catalytic converter.

The monitor will run at between 1400 and 2300 RPM and MAP vacuum between 40 to 70 kPa (15.0 and 21.0 (Hg)).

If the final State of Change index is within the calibrated fail threshold. Two trip fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Scheme 242: P0440-GENERAL EVAP SYSTEM FAILURE

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The Evaporative Purge Monitor tests the integrity of the hoses/tube between the throttle body/intake and the fuel tank. The monitor is a two stage test and runs only after the Evaporative system passes the small leak test. Stage one is non-intrusive. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the purge vapor ratio and the Evaporative System Integrity Monitor (ESIM) Switch closed ratio. If the purge vapor ratio is above a calculated value, the monitor passes. If the ESIM Switch closed ratio is greater than calculated value when purge flow is greater than a minimum value, the monitor passes. Stage two is an intrusive test and runs only if stage one does not pass. The PCM commands the purge solenoid to flow at a specified rate to force the purge vapor ratio to update. The ratio is compared to a calibrated specification. If it is less than specified, a one trip failure is recorded. This test can detect if the purge hose is off, obstructed or the purge valve is not operational.

Engine running after a cold start with the difference between ECT and AAT is less than 10° C (19° F). Fuel Level between 12% and 88% full. Manifold vacuum greater than a calculated minimum value. Ambient Temperature between 4° C and 32° C (39° F and 89° F).

When the monitor conditions are met, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will ramp in purge flow. If the PCM does not sense an ESIM Switch closure after a calculated amount of purge flow accumulation, an error is detected. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Compare the flow meter indicator ball reading to the red flag. ABOVE the red flag indicates a leak present. BELOW the red flag indicates a sealed system. Is the indicator ball above the red flag? Yes Go To 10 . No Go To 12 .
  10. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION LEAK DETECTION NOTE: A thorough visual inspection of the Evaporative system hoses, tubes and connections may save time in your diagnosis. Look for any physical damage or signs of wetness at connections. The strong smell of fuel vapors may aid diagnosis also. Remove the Air supply hose from the service port or the adapter (special tool #8404-ADP, Smoke Machine Adapters). Connect the SMOKE supply tip (black hose) to the service port (if equipped) or to the adapter (special tool #8404-ADP, Smoke Machine Adapters). Set the smoke/air control switch to SMOKE. NOTE: The flow meter indicator ball will not move at this point. Press the remote smoke/air start button. NOTE: Make sure that smoke has filled the Evaporative system by continuing to press the remote smoke/air start button, remove the vehicle fuel cap and wait for the smoke to exit. Once smoke is indicated reinstall the fuel cap. NOTE: For optimal performance, introduce smoke into the system for an additional 60 seconds; continue introducing smoke at 15 second intervals, as necessary. While still holding the remote smoke/air start button, use the white light (special tool #8404-CLL, Light, White) to follow the Evaporative system path and look for the source of the leak indicated by exiting smoke. If a leak is concealed from view (i.e., top of fuel tank), release the remote smoke/air start button and use the ultraviolet (UV) black light (special tool #8404-UVL, Light, UV) and the yellow goggles (special tool #8404-20, Goggles, Yellow) to look for residual traces of dye that are left behind by the smoke. The exiting smoke deposits a residual fluid that is either bright green or bright yellow in color when viewed with a UV light. NOTE: The Evaporative System is divided into three zones. A leak from any of these zones can cause this DTC to set. The lists below specify the possible leak points in that specific zone. For further assistance see the Zone Identification Charts below. ZONE 1 Fuel Cap Recirculation Check Valve Vapor Recirculation Line Signal Vapor Line for FVM Flow Management Valve Fuel Tank to Canister Vapor Line Fuel Tank Vent (Check Valve) Vapor Line to Canister Flow Control Orifice Control Valve Liquid Trap Fuel Tank Check valve Fuel Fill Tube to Tank connector Fuel Fill Tube ZONE 2 Filter ESIM switch Canister Vent Line Evaporative Canister Chassis Purge Valve Fuel Tank to Canister Vapor Line connection Evaporative Purge connection ZONE 3 Evaporative Purge Vacuum Line Connection to Chassis Line Connection to Canister Chassis Purge Line Evaporative Purge Vacuum Line Connection to Evaporative Purge Harness Chassis Evaporative Purge Line connection to Engine Vacuum Evaporative Purge Valve Service Port NOTE: Carefully inspect the vent side of the Evaporative Canister. Due to the filtering system in the canister the smoke or dye may or may not be visible. Introducing smoke into the filtered side of the canister may assist in locating the leak. Select the appropriate response from the list below: A leak was found at the gas cap or fuel filler tube. Go To 11 . A leak was found in one or more of the Evaporative System zones.

P0441-EVAP PURGE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The Evaporative Purge Monitor tests the integrity of the hoses/tube between the throttle body/intake and the fuel tank. The monitor is a two stage test and runs only after the Evaporative system passes the small leak test. Stage one is non-intrusive. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the purge vapor ratio and the Evaporative System Integrity Monitor (ESIM) Switch closed ratio. If the purge vapor ratio is above a calculated value, the monitor passes. If the ESIM switch closed ratio is greater than calculated value when purge flow is greater than a minimum value, the monitor passes. Stage two is an intrusive test and runs only if stage one does not pass. The PCM commands the purge solenoid to flow at a specified rate to force the purge vapor ratio to update. The ratio is compared to a calibrated specification. If it is less than specified, a one trip failure is recorded. This test can detect if the purge hose is off, obstructed or the purge valve is not operational.

After the Evaporative System small leak test has passed, with the engine running, ambient temperature between 4° C (39° F) and 35° (95° F), with the engine at idle after a calibrated amount of drive time has accumulated.

If the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the purge vapor ratio and the ESIM switch closed ratio are below a calculated value, the PCM commands the purge solenoid to flow at a specified rate to update the purge vapor ratio. If the ratio remains below a specified value, a one trip failure is recorded. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

P0452-EVAP PRESSURE SWITCH STUCK CLOSED

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The Evaporative Purge Monitor tests the integrity of the hoses/tube between the throttle body/intake and the fuel tank. The monitor is a two stage test and runs only after the Evaporative system passes the small leak test. Stage one is non-intrusive. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the purge vapor ratio and the Evaporative System Integrity Monitor (ESIM) Switch closed ratio. If the purge vapor ratio is above a calculated value, the monitor passes. If the ESIM switch closed ratio is greater than calculated value when purge flow is greater than a minimum value, the monitor passes. Stage two is an intrusive test and runs only if stage one does not pass. The PCM commands the purge solenoid to flow at a specified rate to force the purge vapor ratio to update. The ratio is compared to a calibrated specification. If it is less than specified, a one trip failure is recorded. This test can detect if the purge hose is off, obstructed or the purge valve is not operational.

Immediately after the ignition has been turned off.

At key off, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) energizes the Purge Solenoid for a calibrated amount of time (30 seconds maximum) and stores the state of the ESIM switch. The state is evaluated again at the next key on. If the PCM does not detect that the ESIM switch is open, an error is detected. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

P0455-EVAP PURGE SYSTEM LARGE LEAK

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The Evaporative Purge Monitor tests the integrity of the hoses/tube between the throttle body/intake and the fuel tank. The monitor is a two stage test and runs only after the Evaporative system passes the small leak test. Stage one is non-intrusive. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the purge vapor ratio and the Evaporative System Integrity Monitor (ESIM) Switch closed ratio. If the purge vapor ratio is above a calculated value, the monitor passes. If the ESIM Switch closed ratio is greater than calculated value when purge flow is greater than a minimum value, the monitor passes. Stage two is an intrusive test and runs only if stage one does not pass. The PCM commands the purge solenoid to flow at a specified rate to force the purge vapor ratio to update. The ratio is compared to a calibrated specification. If it is less than specified, a one trip failure is recorded. This test can detect if the purge hose is off, obstructed or the purge valve is not operational.

With the engine running, during a cold start test with the fuel level above 12%, ambient temperature between 4° C and 32° C (39° F and 89° F) and the fuel system in closed loop. The test runs when the small leak test is maturing.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) activates the EVAP Purge Solenoid to pull the Evaporative system into a vacuum to close the ESIM Switch. Once the ESIM Switch is closed, the PCM turns the EVAP Purge solenoid off to seal the Evaporative System. If the ESIM Switch reopens before the calibrated amount of time, a large leak error is detected. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

P0457-LOOSE FUEL CAP

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

Fuel level is recorded when the ignition key is turned off and is compared to the fuel level when the ignition key is turned back on. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) recognizes an increase in fuel level and will fail the Medium leak test because the fuel cap is broken or not installed properly. GAS CAP will be displayed to inform the owner that the cap is off of loose.

Ignition on. Ambient Temperature between 4° C and 32° C (39° F and 89° F) Close Loop fuel system. Test runs after the medium leak test is inconclusive and the PCM has senses a fuel increase.

If a leak greater than.090" is detected by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for two consecutive cold start trips after a significant fuel level change, this DTC will set. One good trip turns off the MIL.

Scheme 256

Scheme 256: P0461-FUEL LEVEL SENSOR 1 PERFORMANCE

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The fuel level sensor information is a bussed message to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The fuel level rationality will set a fault for a fuel level reading that does not change over an accumulated mileage threshold to keep stuck high or stuck low fuel levels from disabling OBD monitors. If the vehicle is fitted with a saddle tank fuel system this feature includes diagnostics for both of the sending units and diagnostics for a siphon tube that has become disconnected or plugged. The power up test looks to see a large enough fuel level voltage change from the last key-off to the following engine run. The engine run test looks to see a fuel level voltage change over an accumulated mileage.

Vehicles fitted with saddle fuel tank configurations have two fuel level sending units. The primary side of the tank has the filler tube inlet near the bottom and contains the fuel pump module. During fuel tank fills, fuel must overflow the primary side to reach the secondary side of the tank. As fuel is consumed, a siphon tube is used to draw fuel from the secondary side to the primary side. Because the siphon tube flow rate exceeds the fuel consumption rate, the secondary side of the tank will be empty before fuel is depleted from the primary side. Fuel level sensor 1 is located on the primary side of the tank. Fuel level sensor 2 is located on the secondary side of the tank.

TEST No. 1: With the ignition on, the fuel level is compared to the previous key down after a 20 second delay. TEST No. 2: The PCM monitors the fuel level at ignition on.

TEST No. 1: If the PCM does not see a difference in fuel level of greater than 0.1 Volt the test will fail. TEST No. 2: If the PCM does not see a change in the fuel level over a set amount of miles the test will fail. Two trip fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

P0480-COOLING FAN 1 CONTROL CIRCUIT

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) sends a CAN bus message to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) requesting cooling fan operation. The TIPM grounds the coil for the requested Cooling Fan Relay through the radiator fan control circuit. The Cooling Fan Relay then provides battery voltage to the Cooling Fan Motor. Vehicles with diesel engines, certain export market vehicles and trailer tow packages are equipped with a pulse-width modulated (PWM) fan. The fan receives a duty cycle signal from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on the Rad Fan Speed Control circuit. Based on the requested fan speed from the PCM, the TIPM outputs a duty cycle signal on the Rad Fan Speed Control circuit to the Radiator Cooling Fan. The Radiator Cooling Fan receives the duty cycle signal from the TIPM and controls the fan accordingly.

The DCFC begins subtracting fuel from a high limit upon a cold start and keeps removing fuel in an attempt to get to a calibrated lean limit. DCFC stops removing fuel when rough idle is detected or the lean limit is reached.

Cold start condition. Ambient Air temperature between -7° C and 50° C (19.4° F and 122° F). Engine Coolant temperature between -7° C and 50° C (19.4° F and 122° F). The difference between the Ambient Air temp and ECT temp at Start is equal to or less than 10° C (50° F). Engine running at idle only.

If a rough idle is detected and the Dynamic Crankshaft Fuel Control remains or returns to the high limit window for a calibrated time. Two trip fault.

Scheme 271: P0532-A/C PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The A/C pressure transducer monitors the pressures in the high side of the A/C refrigerant system through its connection to a fitting on the A/C discharge line and its internal resistance changes in response to the pressures it monitors. The Totally Intergrated Power Module (TIPM) provides a five Volt reference signal and a sensor ground to the A/C pressure transducer, then monitors the output voltage of the transducer on a sensor return circuit to determine refrigerant pressure the TIPM busses the reads to PCM. The PCM is programmed to respond to this and other sensor inputs by controlling the operation of the A/C clutch and the radiator cooling fan to help optimize A/C system performance and to protect the A/C system components from damage. The PCM will request disengagement of the A/C clutch when high side pressure rises above 3219 kPa (476 psi) and re-engage the clutch when high side pressure drops below 2937 kPa (426 psi). The PCM will also disengage the A/C clutch if the high side pressure drops below 110 kPa (16 psi) and will re-engage the clutch when the high side pressure rises above 220 kPa (32 psi). When the refrigerant pressure rises above 1655 kPa (240 psi), the PCM will actuate the cooling fan.

Engine running, AC is learned and AC Clutch Relay energized.

The A/C pressure transducer signal voltage received by the PCM from the TIPM is below the minimum acceptable value. One Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

P0563-BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) continuously monitors the system voltage. The system voltage information is taken from the PCMs ignition feed circuits. Since voltages that are out of range could cause improper system operation and/or component damage, the PCM operates in a default mode if a PCM voltage DTC sets. If the system voltage is low the PCM raises the idle speed in order to increase the generator output. If the system voltage is high, the PCM disables outputs to protect the hardware.

With the ignition on. Engine RPM greater than 1000 RPM. With no other charging system codes set.

Battery voltage is 1 Volt greater than desired voltage for more than 10 seconds. Battery voltage greater than 15.75 Volts. One Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.
