Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
* A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
* DTC U1815 can set current in the HPCM, ECM, and the SDGM.
* If DTC U1815 is only set in the HPCM, the PIM must be replaced due to all circuits between the HPCM and MCM being internal to the PIM.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Verify that DTC B137A is not current in the serial data gateway module (SDGM).
瀚慖f the DTC is current in the SDGM, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code
Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle).
2. Verify that DTC U1815 is not set current only in the HPCM.
瀚慖f the DTC is current in the HPCM only, replace the drive motor power inverter module (PIM).
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 at the PIM.
2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the PIM case and ground.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the ground strap for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PIM.
3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the following voltage circuit terminals of the PIM and ground.
* Terminal 6
* Terminal 7
* Terminal 20
瀚慖f the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
4. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the signal circuit terminal 19 and ground.
瀚慖f the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the
SDGM.
5. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X3 at the engine control module.
6. Test for less than 1.0 ohm on the high speed hybrid GMLAN serial data circuits between the following ECM and PIM circuit terminals.
