Manufacturer summary

Original wording in English

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.
