DTC P1589 (21): Motor Power Inverter (MPI) Module Current Signal Circuit Problem: General Description

The motor output torque may not be properly controlled when the output voltage is drifting or freezing due to a faulty MPI (motor power inverter) module current sensor. The sensor output voltage should be 2.5 V ± 50 mV when the input current is 0 A. The current flowing to the MPI module before precharge or while the motor is not turning is 0 A. Therefore, it is possible to detect drifting or freezing from the sensor output voltage at that time.

The MCM (motor control module) samples the current sensor output voltage several times and computes offset voltage at 0 A. If the computed offset voltage is beyond a set value, a malfunction in the sensor is detected and a DTC is stored.
