    Yes  DIAGNOSE these Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs. REFER to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart .
    No  GO to  AA2
  3. AA2 CHECK THE INVERTER SYSTEM CONTROLLER (ISC) CALIBRATION LEVEL

    • Verify the Inverter System Controller (ISC) is at the latest calibration level.

    Is the Inverter System Controller (ISC) at the latest calibration level? 

    Yes  GO to  AA2
    No  UPDATE the Inverter System Controller (ISC) to the latest calibration level.
  4. AA3 READ THE INVERTER SYSTEM CONTROLLER (ISC) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, retrieve the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs.

    Are P0A71, P0A74 or P0A77 the only DTCs present? 

    Yes  GO to  AA4
    No  DIAGNOSE all other Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs. REFER to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart .
  5. AA4 VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Remove the high voltage traction battery service disconnect plug.

    • Visually inspect all the high voltage cables.

    • Make sure all the high voltage connectors are correctly and securely connected.

    • Examine all the high voltage cables and connectors for damaged, burned or overheated insulation and loose or broken connections.

    • Make sure the high voltage DC connector cover is correctly installed and it was not removed from the vehicle.

    Is a concern present? 

    Yes  REPAIR as necessary. CLEAR the DTCs and REPEAT the self-test.
    No  GO to  AA5
  6. AA5 CHECK THE ELECTRIC MOTOR CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

    • Disconnect Electric Motor C1201.

    • Disconnect Inverter System Controller (ISC) C1458B.

    Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  AA6
    No  REPAIR the open circuit. CLEAR the DTCs and REPEAT the self-test.
  7. AA6 CHECK THE ELECTRIC MOTOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

    • Measure and record:
