Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Fiat 500e. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

E-MOTOR COOLING SYSTEM
1. Visually Inspect e-Motor Cooling System.
  Were there any Leakages, Defective Parts or Improper Connections Found?
  
  Yes
  
  Repair/Replace the damaged parts in accordance with the service procedure.
  
  No
  - Go To 2
CHECK TEMPERATURE SENSOR
1. Vehicle ignition off and without charging (at least 6 hours).
2. Measure ambient temperature and record.
3. Using Scan tool, measure e-Motor Stator Temperature.
  Is the difference between e-Motor stator temperature and ambient temperature greater than 8 degrees Celsius?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Clear all fault codes, key OFF, wait 30 seconds, then key ON, but do not crank, wait 30 seconds.
  - If fault of interest is still present, Go To 3. Otherwise, troubleshooting is complete.
CHECK TEMPERATURE SENSOR WIRING HARNESS
1. Disconnect temperature sensor wiring harness from PIM and from e-Motor.
2. Check the harness for connector corrosion on both sides of the wiring harness. If temperature sensor wiring harness connectors have moderate to high corrosion, then replace wiring harness.
3. Check continuity between motor side pin 5 to PIM side pin 23; motor side pin 6 to PIM side pin 22.
  Was there continuity?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Replace Wire Harness in accordance with the service procedure.
  - Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .

Measure the resistance between Pin 5, 6.
Is the resistance outside the value specified in the temperature/resistance reference table?

Yes
- Replace the e-Motor. Refer to MOTOR, ELECTRIC, REMOVAL .
- Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Replace the Power Inverter Module (PIM). Refer to MODULE, POWER INVERTER (PIM), REMOVAL .
- Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
