DTC P0A81-11: Hybrid/EV Battery Cooling Fan 1 Circuit Short to Ground [11/2015 - 12/2018]: Description

The battery cooling blower assembly speed is controlled by the hybrid vehicle control ECU. Power is supplied to the battery cooling blower assembly when the MREL terminal of the hybrid vehicle control ECU turns on the IGCT relay. The hybrid vehicle control ECU sends command signals (SI0) to the battery cooling blower assembly to adjust the fan speed to an appropriate speed for the HV battery temperature. The frequency (FP0) of the battery cooling blower assembly is sent to the hybrid vehicle control ECU via the battery voltage sensor as a monitor signal using serial communication.
