DC/DC Enable (DCE)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The DCE is an output from the PCM to the DC/DC converter. The PCM enables the DC/DC converter after the PCM receives a contactors closed message and no error messages. The DCE circuit is high (the low side driver is off) when the DC/DC is commanded on. When the DCE low side driver is activated, the DC/DC converter is commanded off. For additional information on DCE, refer to the DC/DC converter description in HYBRID ELECTRIC CONTROL HARDWARE .
