Pinpoint Test Ah: P0C6B

  1. NOTE: The Inverter System Controller (ISC) is referred to as the SOBDMC (Secondary On-Board Diagnostic Control Module C) in the scan tool.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    REFER to: Electric Powertrain Control - System Operation and Component Description .

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

    DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
    SOBDMC P0C6B:00 Generator Position Sensor Circuit 'B' Low: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets when a short to ground is detected in the generator resolver circuit.

    Possible Causes 

    • Wiring, terminals or connectors
    • Transmission
    • Inverter System Controller (ISC) calibration

  2. AH1 CHECK THE INVERTER SYSTEM CONTROLLER (ISC) CALIBRATION LEVEL

    NOTE: Wiring overlays or repinning of circuits are NOT appropriate for DTC P0C6B due to risk of hardware damage.

    • Verify the Inverter System Controller (ISC) is at the latest calibration level.

    Is the Inverter System Controller (ISC) at the latest calibration level? 

    Yes  GO to  AH2
    No  UPDATE the Inverter System Controller (ISC) to the latest calibration level.
  3. AH2 CHECK FOR CMDTC (CONTINUOUS MEMORY DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) P0C6B

    • Ignition ON.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, retrieve all Inverter System Controller (ISC) CMDTC s.

    Was CMDTC P0C6B read from the Inverter System Controller (ISC)? 

    Yes  GO to  AH3
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition.
  4. AH3 VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE LOW VOLTAGE SYSTEM

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Visually inspect all the low voltage cables.

    • Make sure all the low voltage connectors are correctly and securely connected.

    • Examine all the low voltage cables and connectors for damaged, burned or overheated insulation and loose or broken conditions.

    Is a concern present? 

    Yes  REPAIR as necessary. CLEAR the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTC s and REPEAT the self-test.
    No  GO to  AH4
  5. AH4 CHECK THE GS2 CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

    • Measure and record:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C1111 Pin 33

      Ground

    Is the resistance above 10K ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  AH5
    No  INSTALL a new harness.
  6. AH5 CHECK THE GS4 CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

    • Measure and record:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C1111 Pin 23
      GFD826402Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      Ground

    Is the resistance above 10K ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  AH6
    No  INSTALL a new harness.
  7. AH6 CHECK FOR CORRECT INVERTER SYSTEM CONTROLLER (ISC) OPERATION

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect and inspect all Inverter System Controller (ISC) connectors.

    • Repair:

      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

    • Reconnect the Inverter System Controller (ISC) connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.

    • Connect HF 45 Transmission C1111.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, GO to Pinpoint Test S 
    (In step S4 continue through to step S5 regardless of DTC presence.)
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
