Pinpoint Test Ck : P0C55

  1. NOTE: The Inverter System Controller (ISC) is referred to as the SOBDMC (Secondary On-Board Diagnostic Control Module C) in the scan tool.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    REFER to: Electric Powertrain Control - System Operation and Component Description .

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

    DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
    SOBDMC P0C55:00 Drive Motor "A" Position Sensor Circuit "B": No Sub Type Information This DTC sets when a wiring concern in the harness between the Inverter System Controller (ISC) and the transmission is detected.

    Possible Sources 

    • Inverter System Controller (ISC) calibration
    • Wiring, terminals or connectors
    • Transmission assembly

  2. CK1 CHECK THE INVERTER SYSTEM CONTROLLER (ISC) CALIBRATION LEVEL

    NOTE: Wiring overlays or repinning of circuits are NOT appropriate for DTC P0C55 due to risk of hardware damage.

    • Verify the Inverter System Controller (ISC) is at the latest calibration level.

    Is the Inverter System Controller (ISC) at the latest calibration level? 

    Yes  GO to  CK2
    No  UPDATE the Inverter System Controller (ISC) to the latest calibration level.
  3. CK2 CHECK FOR INVERTER SYSTEM CONTROLLER (ISC) CMDTC (CONTINUOUS MEMORY DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) P0C55

    • Ignition ON.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, check for CMDTCs.

    Is CMDTC P0C55 present? 

    Yes  GO to  CK3
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition.
  4. CK3 VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE LOW VOLTAGE SYSTEM

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Visually inspect all the low voltage cables.

    • Make sure all the low voltage connectors are correctly and securely connected.

    • Examine all the low voltage cables and connectors for damaged, burned or overheated insulation and loose or broken conditions.

    Is a concern present? 

    Yes  REPAIR as necessary. CLEAR the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs and REPEAT the self-test.
    No  GO to  CK4
  5. CK4 CHECK THE MOTOR RESOLVER CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect HF 45 Transmission C1111.

    • Disconnect Inverter System Controller (ISC) C199B.

    Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  CK5
    No  With the aid of the wiring diagram, REPAIR the open circuit. CLEAR the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  6. CK5 CHECK THE MOTOR RESOLVER CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

    • Measure and record:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead

      Ground

    Is the resistance above 10K ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  CK6
    No  With the aid of the wiring diagram, REPAIR the short circuit. CLEAR the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs and REPEAT the self-test.
  7. CK6 CHECK THE MOTOR RESOLVER RESISTANCE

    • Measure and record:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead

      HF45 Transmission C1111 pin 11, component side

    Is the resistance between 7.6 and 11.4 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  CK7
    No  INSTALL a new Transmission. REFER to: Transmission . CLEAR the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  8. CK7 CHECK THE MOTOR RESOLVER RESISTANCE

    • Measure and record:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead

      HF45 Transmission C1111 pin 13, component side

    Is the resistance between 11.6 and 17.4 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  CK8
    No  INSTALL a new Transmission. REFER to: Transmission . CLEAR the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  9. CK8 CHECK THE MOTOR RESOLVER RESISTANCE

    • Measure and record:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      GFD475092Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY

      HF45 Transmission C1111 pin 2, component side

    Yes  GO to  CK9
    No  INSTALL a new Transmission. REFER to: Transmission . CLEAR the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  10. CK9 CHECK FOR CORRECT INVERTER SYSTEM CONTROLLER (ISC) OPERATION

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect and inspect all Inverter System Controller (ISC) connectors.

    • Repair:

      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

    • Reconnect the Inverter System Controller (ISC) connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.

    • Connect HF 45 Transmission C1111.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, GO to Pinpoint Test CA  (In step CA4 continue through to step CA5 regardless of DTC presence.)
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
