DTC P1D79
DTC P1D79: VCU I1 Current Sensor Circuit High
General Description
The power control unit (PCU) controls the voltage control unit (VCU) output based on the I1 current sensor signals. If the signal voltage from the I1 current sensor exceeds a set value for a specified time, the motor control module in the PCU detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the motor control module memory.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command.
