Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. VISUAL INSPECTION OF 3-PHASE WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN E-MOTOR AND PIM 
    1. Verify correct order of U/V/W connection at PIM and e-Motor.
    2. Verify tight connections at PIM and e-Motor.
    3. Inspect 3 Phase Wire Harness for damage (pinched, bent, cut).
      NOTE:

      Any time the Power Inverter Module (PIM) cover is removed, it MUST BE REPLACED due to a non reusable seal.

      Disconnect 3 Phase Wire Harness from PIM and check for melted or damaged Connectors.

      Was there any damage to the connectors?

      Yes 

      • Replace 3-Phase wire harness according to written service procedure
      • Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to EVCU VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  2
  2. CHECK ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE OF E-MOTOR PHASES 
    1. Disconnect 3 Phase Wire Harness from e-Motor.

    2. Use a qualified micro Ohm measurement instrument to measure the resistance value between the three pins (U/V/W) of the e-Motor, 3 measurements in total (U-V, U-W, V-W).

      Is the Resistance ok?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK CONTINUITY AND SHORT CIRCUIT OF 3-PHASE WIRING HARNESS 
    NOTE:

    Any time the Power Inverter Module (PIM) cover is removed, it MUST BE REPLACED due to a non reusable seal.

    Disconnect the 3 Phase Wire Harness from the PIM and the e-Motor.

    1. Using a qualified Multimeter, make the following measurements.
      Probe motor side pin 3 to PIM side pin 1, should be short
      Probe motor side pin 2 to PIM side pin 2, should be short
      Probe motor side pin 1 to PIM side pin 3, should be short
      Probe motor side pin 1 to PIM side pin 1, 2, should be open
      Probe motor side pin 2 to PIM side pin 1, 3, should be open
      Probe motor side pin 3 to PIM side pin 2, 3, should be open

      Were the above Tests true?

      Yes 

      • Test complete, the Condition that caused the DTC is not present at this time.
      • Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .

      No 

      • Replace the 3 Phase Wire Harness in accordance with the service information.
      • Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to EVCU VERIFICATION TEST .
