Circuit/System Testing

  1. Perform the Battery Inspection/Test .
    NOTE: To accurately diagnose the charging system, the C1 Battery must be fully charged and capable of passing the Battery Inspection/Test.
  2. Vehicle OFF. Disconnect the C1 Battery. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection .
  3. Disconnect the B+ X4 cable connector at the K1 14V Power Module.
    NOTE: The X4 harness connector at the 14V power module is connected to the positive terminal of the 12V battery through a 200 A fuse. When disconnected, the harness connector must be isolated from ground or any other conductor to prevent electrical spark when the 12V battery ground is reconnected.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the C1 Battery positive terminal and the X4 terminal at the K1 14V Power Module.
  5. Reconnect the C1 Battery. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection . Vehicle ON.
  6. Measure and record the voltage between the X4 terminal at the K1 14V Power Module and ground.
  7. Verify the scan tool Hybrid Powertrain Control Module Low-Voltage Circuit Voltage parameter in the 14V Power Module data list is within 0.5V of the voltage recorded in the previous step.
    • If the voltage is not within the specified range 

      Replace the K1 14V Power Module.

    • If the voltage is within the specified range 
  8. Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp.
  9. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit between the X4 cable connector and the C1 Battery positive terminal.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • If less than 2 Ω 
  10. All OK
