Circuit/System Description
This diagnostic monitors the internal battery communication status between the K114B Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2 and the K112 Hybrid/EV Battery Interface Control Modules. The diagnostic monitors K112 Hybrid/EV Battery Interface Control Modules data availability whenever this private communications bus is active. The communication network between K114B Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2 and K112 Hybrid/EV Battery Interface Control Modules is in a daisy-chain architecture. Therefore, a break at any point in the communication bus results in a loss of K112 Hybrid/EV Battery Interface Control Modules communication with the K114B Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2. If any data is received, the diagnostic will report a pass. If no data is received for greater than 4.5 s, the K114B Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2 will attempt to initiate the K112 Hybrid/EV Battery Interface Control Modules into a communication mode where the K112 Hybrid/EV Battery Interface Control Modules can perform their own internal communication loop back, bypassing the daisy-chain. If this is the first K112 Hybrid/EV Battery Interface Control Module in the daisy-chain that the K114B Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2 cannot re-establish communication with, this diagnostic will fail.
