DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC |
Description |
Fault Trigger Condition |
PCM P059F:00 |
Active Grille Air Shutter 'A' Performance/Stuck Off: No Sub Type Information |
When the grille shutter actuator senses it
is unable to move the grille shutter, it sends a message to the PCM via
the LIN . The PCM sets this DTC when the fault is communicated for a
predetermined amount of time.
|
PCM P05A1:00 |
Active Grille Air Shutter 'A' Position Sensor Minimum/Maximum Stop Performance: No Sub Type Information |
When the grille shutter actuator senses it
is unable to obtain a fully open or closed position of the grille
shutter, it sends a message to the PCM via the LIN . The PCM then sets
the DTC when the fault is communicated for a predetermined amount of
time.
|
PCM P05A2:00 |
Active Grille Air Shutter 'A' Control Circuit/Open: No Sub Type Information |
This DTC
sets when the grille shutter actuator control circuit H-Bridge is
overheated or if a short to ground or open is detected in the actuator
control circuit. The PCM sets this DTC when the condition is present for a predetermined amount of time.
|
PCM P05A7:00 |
Active Grille Air Shutter 'A' Supply Voltage Circuit Low: No Sub Type Information |
When the grille shutter actuator senses low voltage, it sends a message
to the PCM via the LIN . The PCM sets this DTC when the fault is
communicated for a predetermined amount of time.
|
PCM P05C0:00 |
Active Grille Air Shutter Module 'A' Over Temperature: No Sub Type Information |
This DTC sets when the upper active grille shutter actuator detects excessive internal heat.
|
PCM U0284:00 |
Lost Communication with Active Grille Air Shutter Module 'A': No Sub Type Information |
When the PCM does not receive communication from the grille shutter
actuator for a predetermined amount of time, the PCM sets this DTC .
