Condition

Some customers may comment that the MIL is illuminated.
The technician may find one or more of the following DTCs set:
• P0A0C: High Voltage System Interlock Circuit Low Voltage
• P0ABB: HybrideBay logo/EV Battery Voltage Sensor Performance
• P0ABC: HybrideBay logo/EV Battery Voltage Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
• P0ABD: HybrideBay logo/EV Battery Voltage Sensor Circuit High Voltage
• P1AE6: Battery Energy Control Module HybrideBay logo/EV Battery Voltage Isolation Sensor
Circuit
• P1FFF: System Isolation / Coolant Level Sensor Fault - HybrideBay logo/EV Battery Charging
System Disabled

Cause

This condition may be caused by a set code in the HybrideBay logo Powertrain Control Module 2
(HPCM2) in conjunction with a hardware fault in the Battery Energy Control Module.

Correction 1

Removing the MSD fuse may cause multiple DTCs to set along with P1AE6, most notably
P0A0C. Validate the MSD fuse is fully seated.
• If the issue persists and P1AE6 remains CURRENT (i.e. not ONLY in history), proceed
to correction 2.

Correction 2

With the vehicle in Ready Mode, with GDS2 under the HPCM2 module, compare the
HybrideBay logo/EV Battery Voltage and the HybrideBay logo/EV battery Voltage Sensor Average Voltage
and ensure the voltages are within 3V of each other (Note: Multiply the HybrideBay logo/EV battery
Voltage Sensor Average Voltage by 96. That value should be within 3V of the HybrideBay logo/EV
Battery Voltage).
• If High Voltage BatteryeBay logo Average Cell Voltage and HybrideBay logo Battery Processed Voltage
ARE NOT within 3V of each other, verify the software in the HPCM2 is to the latest
calibrations, then proceed to correction 3.
Note: This situation should NOT result in a Battery Energy Control Module replacement
unless agreed to by TAC and/or GM Engineering.
• If High Voltage BatteryeBay logo Average Cell Voltage and HybrideBay logo Battery Processed Voltage
ARE within 3V of each other, follow normal service procedures for P1AE6.

Correction 3

Copyright 2018 General MotorseBay logo LLC. All Rights Reserved.

After the software in the HPCM2 has been updated to the latest calibrations:
1. Install a new Battery Energy Control Module.
2. After installation and programming of a new Battery energy Control Module, verify
P1AE6 and P0ABB do not return.
2.1. Turn the vehicle ON.
2.2. Turn the vehicle Off.
• Wait 1 minute to allow the vehicle to give active isolation time to run.
2.3. Turn the vehicle ON.
2.4. Validate if DTC P1AE6 has returned.
2.5. Repeat steps 2.1 - 2.4 a total of 2 more times.

If not available, connect a fully charged 12 V jumper or
booster packeBay logo disconnected from the AC voltage supply.
DO NOT connect a battery charger.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper
service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a
job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your
vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
information.
