DTC Descriptors

DTC P1EA9
- 14 V Power Module System Low Voltage

Circuit/System Description

The 14V power module, also called the accessory DC power control module, monitors its 14-volt circuit when it is enabled. This DTC sets when the 14-volt circuit in the 14V power module is below this minimum level at the time it is enabled. 14V power module module functions will run only when an APM enable message from the hybrid powertrain control module is active on the serial data circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The hybrid powertrain control module commands the 14V power module to begin charging.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The 14-volt circuit at the 14V power module is below 7.0 volts when attempting to begin charging.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTC P1EA9 is a Type C DTC.

* The 14V power module will not allow 14-volt conversion to begin in this condition.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* DTC P1EA9 is a Type C DTC.

* The 14-volt circuit at the 14V power module is above 7 volts.

Diagnostic Aids

The 14V power module is protected by a 200-amp in-line mega-fuse. The output current of the 14V power module is lower than the fuse rating. An improperly fastened 200-amp in-line mega-fuse may cause this DTC to set.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Remove the B+ harness connector X4 at the K1 14V power module.

2. Connect a test lamp between 12-volt battery positive and the K1 14V power module connector X4 at the module.

3. Vehicle ON, observe the Low-Voltage Circuit Voltage parameter in the 14V Power Module data list. The parameter should be within 0.5 volt of the actual 12-volt battery voltage.

• If the voltage is not within the specified range, replace the K1 14V power module.

4. Vehicle OFF, remove the positive connection at the 12-volt battery.

5. Measure the resistance between the X4 connector and the battery positive connection.

• If the resistance is greater than 1.0 ohm, repair the high resistance condition in the 12-volt circuit.

6. Replace the K1 14V power module.
