Bulletin Summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician some vehicles may have a drive motor generator, battery control module and cooling fan may become inoperative due to low system voltage. There may have been a charging system message, battery warning lamp or service hybrid system message displayed and may have Diagnostic Trouble Code P0C32 and or P0A7E. If the voltage level drops to a predetermined level approximately 9 direct current volts use Global Diagnostic System 2 to command the battery pack cooling fan motor on to make sure it operates. If the fan does not operate it will need to be replaced. Technician may need to run the vehicle through several drive cycles to ensure that there is not another root cause for the low voltage condition. Technician will need to reprogram the generator control module.

About Technical Service Bulletins

A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
