CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
WARNING:
On vehicles equipped with the high voltage system, you must thoroughly read and follow all High Voltage Safety procedures. In addition, before performing any diagnostic or service procedure near a high voltage component, you must perform the High Voltage Power Down. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

Read the HIGH-VOLTAGE SAFETY PROCEDURES. Refer to HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY PROCEDURES .

When the HIGH-VOLTAGE POWER-DOWN PROCEDURE is necessary. Refer to HIGH VOLTAGE POWER DOWN .
1. With the scan tool, read Battery Pack Control Module (BPCM) DTCs and record on the repair order.
2. Record the Freeze Frame Data (If available), Event Data (If available), and Environmental Data.
3. If system temperature is above 140.0° F (60° C) plug vehicle into EVSE or cool in garage and diagnose any cooling system faults before continuing.
4. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
  NOTE:
  Most BPCM DTCs will require the EVSE to be disconnected in order to clear.
5. Using the recorded data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
6. With the scan tool, read BPCM DTCs.
  Did the DTC return?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Perform the TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
ISOLATE AND CHECK THE (H521) OUTLET TEMP SENSOR SIGNAL AND (H522) OUTLET TEMP SENSOR RETURN CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO ANOTHER CIRCUIT AT THE BRIDGE JUMPER HARNESS CONNECTOR
1. The ignition must be off when performing a resistance check to find a short between circuits.
2. Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and every component harness connector containing the circuit being tested. At this time leave all in-line connectors connected. Note: Use the wiring diagram as a guide to follow the path of the circuit.
3. Connect one lead of the DVOM to the circuit being tested at the ECU harness connector.
4. With the other lead of the DVOM probe all other circuits at the ECU harness connector.
  NOTE:
  When probing a circuit at an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) harness connector, always use an appropriate back probing tool to prevent any possible damage to the ECU terminals.
  
  NOTE:
  With the circuit isolated there should be no continuity between the circuit being tested and any other circuit.
  
  Is there continuity between the circuit being tested and any other circuit?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short between the circuits that have continuity. Use the wiring diagram as a guide to trace the circuits and look for any in-line connectors to help isolate the location of the short.
  - Perform the BATTERY PACK CONTROL MODULE (BPCM) VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HV VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 3
CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
1. Disconnect all BPCM harness connectors.
2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
  - Proper connector installation.
  - Damaged connector locks.
  - Corrosion.
  - Other signs of water intrusion.
  - Weather seal damage (if equipped).
  - Bent terminals.
  - Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
  - Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
  - Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
  Repair any conditions that are found.
5. Reconnect all BPCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
9. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
10. With the scan tool, read BPCM DTCs.
  Did the DTC return?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Primary and Secondary High Voltage Battery Packs in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
  - Perform the BATTERY PACK CONTROL MODULE (BPCM) VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HV VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Perform the BATTERY PACK CONTROL MODULE (BPCM) VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to HV VERIFICATION TEST .
  - Test complete.
