    REFER to: Electric Powertrain Control - Component Location .

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

    DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
    SOBDMC P0A37:64 Generator Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance: Signal Plausibility Failure This DTC sets when a temperature difference between the generator coil temp sensor and the transmission fluid and motor coil sensors.
    SOBDMC P0A38:00 Generator Temperature Sensor Circuit Low: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets when a short to ground is detected on the generator temperature sensor circuit.
    SOBDMC P0A39:00 Generator Temperature Sensor Circuit High: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets when a short to power or open is detected on the generator temperature sensor circuit.
    SOBDMC P0A3A:00 Generator Temperature Sensor Circuit Intermittent: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets from an intermittent condition in the generator temperature sensor harness.

    Possible Sources 

    • Wiring, terminals or connectors
    • Internal transmission wiring harness
    • Inverter System Controller (ISC)

  2. T1 CHECK THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL

    NOTE: A low automatic transmission fluid level may cause a traction motor over temperature condition.

    Is the transmission fluid level correct? 

    Yes  GO to  T2
    No  REFER to: Transmission Cooling .
  3. T2 CHECK THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PARAMETER IDENTIFICATIONS (PIDS)

    NOTE: A low automatic transmission fluid level may cause a traction motor over temperature condition.

    • Access the SOBDMC and monitor the TFT (Deg C) PID

    • Access the SOBDMC and monitor the GCLTEMP (Deg C) PID

    Are the PIDs within 59 deg.F (15 deg.C) of each other and stable (not changing quickly)? 

    Yes  The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition. Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs.
    No  GO to  T3
