1. Disable the high voltage for servicing at the drive motor generator control module assembly cable connections. Refer to High Voltage
Disabling ().
2. Inspect for damaged 3 phase cables between the drive motor generator power inverter control module (PIM) and the transmission.
锟斤拷If damage is observed, replace the 3 phase cables.
3. Remove the 3 phase cable assembly from the PIM distribution box. Refer to Generator Control Module 3-Phase Cable Assembly
Replacement ().
4. Test the resistance of each phase by measuring between the following circuits with a DMM.
* Phase U and phase V
* Phase U and phase W
锟斤拷If you meaure 0.5 ohms or less replace the drive motor generator assembly and retest for the DTC. If the DTC resets, replace the PIM.
锟斤拷If you measure greater than 0.5 ohms continue with diagnosis.
5. Remove the 3 phase cable assembly cover from the transmission and inspect the 3 phase cable terminal fasteners for the proper torque and for
arc-flash damage. Refer to Generator Control Module 3-Phase Cable Assembly Replacement ().
锟斤拷If any fasteners were loose and no arc-flash damage is present, torque the fasteners and re-assembly the vehicle. Retest for the DTC.
锟斤拷If any fasteners were loose and arc-flash damage is present, replace the drive motor generator assembly and the 3 phase cable assembly.
6. Disconnect the 3 phase cable assembly from the transmission.
7. Test each cable for continuity from the PIM connection terminal to the transmission connection terminal.
锟斤拷If you measure greater than 0.5 ohms, replace the 3 phase cable assembly.
锟斤拷If you measure 0.5 ohms or less replace the drive motor generator assembly.
