Pinpoint Test Ca: P0C00

  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 P0C00:00 Drive Motor 'A' Current Low: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets when the 3 phase motor current is not within the expected range or when the resolver circuitry is incorrectly wired.

    Possible Causes 

    • Wiring, terminals or connectors
    • Transmission

  2. CA1 CHECK FOR INVERTER SYSTEM CONTROLLER (ISC) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

    • Ignition ON.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, run the Inverter System Controller (ISC) self-test.

    Are DTC s P0A3F or P0C50 set in the Inverter System Controller (ISC)? 

    Yes  For P0A3F, GO to Pinpoint Test BT  For P0C50, GO to Pinpoint Test BU 
    No  GO to  CA2
  3. CA2 CHECK THE INVERTER SYSTEM CONTROLLER (ISC) CALIBRATION LEVEL

    • 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  CA3
    No  UPDATE the Inverter System Controller (ISC) to the latest calibration level.
  4. CA3 VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Remove the Inverter System Controller (ISC) side cover. When removing side cover, pull cover straight out approximately 2 inches before moving upwards or damage to the high voltage interlock connector may occur. REFER to: Inverter System Controller [SOBDMC] .

    Is a concern present? 

    Yes  REPAIR as necessary. CLEAR the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTC s and REPEAT the self-test.
    No  GO to  CA4
  5. CA4 CHECK FOR MOTOR PHASE CONTINUITY

    • Use this image as reference when performing the following test.

    Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  CA5
    No  INSTALL a new transmission, this does not and should not include a new Inverter System Controller (ISC)/SOBDMC. REFER to: Transmission .
    CLEAR the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTC s. REPEAT the self-test.
  6. CA5 CHECK FOR MOTOR PHASE SHORT TO GROUND

    • Use this image as reference when performing the following test.

      Ground

    Is the resistance greater than 10K ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  CA6
    No  INSTALL a new transmission, this does not and should not include a new Inverter System Controller (ISC)/SOBDMC. REFER to: Transmission .
    CLEAR the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTC s. REPEAT the self-test.
  7. CA6 CHECK THE MOTOR RESOLVER HARNESS CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

    • Disconnect HF 45 Transmission C1111.

    • Disconnect Inverter System Controller (ISC) C199B.

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  CA7
    No  INSTALL a new harness.
  8. CA7 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.

    • Install the Inverter System Controller (ISC) side cover.

    • Ignition ON.

    • CLEAR the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTC s.

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Wait 5 minutes.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, run the Inverter System Controller (ISC) self-test.

    Is DTC P0C00 still present? 

    Yes  INSTALL a new transmission, this does not and should not include a new Inverter System Controller (ISC)/SOBDMC. REFER to: Transmission .
    CLEAR the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTC s. REPEAT the self-test.
    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.
