Pinpoint Test Co : P0D33

  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 P0D33:00 DC/DC Converter Current High: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets when the inductor current reading is greater than the calibrated threshold.

    Possible Sources 

    • Vehicle collision
    • Inverter System Controller (ISC)

  2. CO1 CHECK FOR BECM (BATTERY ENERGY CONTROL MODULE) CONTINUOUS MEMORY DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (CMDTCS)

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, check for CMDTCs.

    Are any BECM CMDTCs present? 

    Yes  DIAGNOSE all BECM CMDTCs REFER to: High Voltage Battery, Mounting and Cables - Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) .
    No  GO to  CO2
  3. CO2 CHECK FOR VEHICLE COLLISION HISTORY

    • Ask the customer if the vehicle has been involved in a collision.

    Was the vehicle involved in a collision? 

    Yes  DTC may set after a vehicle collision. CLEAR the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs. GO to  CO3
    No  DIAGNOSE all other Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs, REFER to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart . If there are no DTCs present, GO to  CO4
  4. CO3 TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE

    • Drive the vehicle making quick accelerations and decelerations.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the Inverter System Controller (ISC) self-test.

    Is DTC P0D33 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, INSTALL a new Inverter System Controller (ISC). REFER to: Inverter System Controller [SOBDMC] .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to a vehicle collision.
  5. CO4 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.

    • Check and update the Inverter System Controller (ISC) and BECM software calibrations.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs.

    • Test drive the vehicle making quick accelerations and decelerations in an attempt to reproduce the concern.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the Inverter System Controller (ISC) self-test.

    Is DTC P0D33 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, INSTALL a new Inverter System Controller (ISC). REFER to: Inverter System Controller [SOBDMC] .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time.
