DTC Descriptor
DTC P0C08
- Drive Motor 2 Phase U-V-W Circuit
Circuit/System Description
Each drive motor generator is controlled by a motor control module (MCM). The drive motor generators utilize 3 phase alternating current (ac)
electricity. The drive motor generator stator coil is comprised of three phase circuits. The phase circuits are identified as phase U, phase V and
phase W. The U-V-W phase circuits are connected in a wye configuration. This means each phase is connected at a single, central point. The MCM
monitors a current sensor connected to each drive motor generator phase.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The Hybrid Wakeup circuit is active.
* The MCM has applied current to the drive motor generator.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The MCM detects at least one U-V-W phase current sensor is less than 9 amps.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTC P0C08 is a Type A DTC.
* The hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM) commands the battery energy control module (BECM) to open the high voltage contactor
relays.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0C08 is a Type A DTC.
