P0AE7
High-Voltage Traction Battery
Pinpoint Test AK: DTC P0AE7:00
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 12, Charging System for schematic and connector information. [1][2]Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
When the ignition is turned on, the Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) makes various vehicle checks. If these checks are normal, the BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) sends a signal to the contactor to close, which will supply power to the vehicle. If an overcurrent condition is sensed by the BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) , the stop safely hazard (red triangle) warning indicator is illuminated and the vehicle will shut down and/or not start.
- P0AE7:00 (Hybrid Battery Precharge Contactor Control Circuit High: No Sub Type Information)- If the BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) detects overcurrent on the contactor control circuit for 16 milliseconds or more, this DTC will be set. Reports as a continuous memory (historical) DTC only.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- BECM (Battery Energy Control Module)
- High-voltage Bussed Electrical Center (BEC)
- Circuitry
PINPOINT TEST AK : DTC P0AE7:00
WARNING: To 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.
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when taking measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
AK1 CHECK FOR SHORT IN CIRCUIT
- Measure the voltage between BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) C4237B-61, circuit J1-A61, harness side and ground; and between BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) C4237B-62, circuit J1-A62, harness side and ground.
Is any voltage present?
Yes
INSTALL a new HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery) (includes HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery) system wire harness). REFER to High-Voltage Traction Battery . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
GO to AK2.
AK2 MEASURE CONTACTOR COIL RESISTANCE
WARNING: Never install the service disconnect plug with the high-voltage bussed electrical center (BEC) cover removed. Always install the cover prior to connecting the service disconnect plug. The high-voltage BEC cover prevents inadvertent contact with the high voltage which is present at several points under the cover. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.
- Ignition OFF.
- Depower the HVTB (High Voltage Traction Battery) system. Refer to High-Voltage Traction Battery Systems Depowering .
- Disconnect: High-voltage BEC (Bussed Electrical Center) C4236D.
- With the service disconnect removed, measure the resistance between high-voltage BEC (Bussed Electrical Center) C4236D pin 4 and pin 5, component side.
Is the resistance between 5-50 ohms?
Yes
GO to AK3.
No
INSTALL a new high-voltage BEC (Bussed Electrical Center). REFER to High-Voltage Bussed Electrical Center . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
AK3 CHECK FOR CORRECT BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Check the BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) harness and component side connectors for:
- corrosion.
- pushed-out/bent pins.
- Connect the BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) and make sure the connectors seat correctly.
- Connect: High-voltage BEC (Bussed Electrical Center) C4236D.
- Install the high-voltage BEC (Bussed Electrical Center) cover. Refer to the exploded view in Battery Pack Sensor Module (BPSM) .
- Connect: Service Disconnect Plug.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes
INSTALL a new BECM (Battery Energy Control Module). REFER to Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
