DTC P1437 (41): Motor Drive Module (MDM) Short Circuit Sensor Problem: General Description

If a short circuit occurs in the three-phase coil of the integrated motor assist (IMA) motor when driving, the motor drive module (MDM) stops functioning and changes the flag short circuit (FSC) signals from a high level to a low level to protect itself. If the FSC signals stay at a low voltage level for a set time (t1), the motor control module (MCM) detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
