CAUSE A - ENCODER WIRING FAULT
PROCEDURE OR ACTION:
NOTE: Perform Step 1 with key in ON position.
1.

Disconnect the traction motor encoder connector CPS03 and measure voltage between socket 1 and B(-).
Is voltage 5 ± 0.5 Vdc?
YES: Proceed to Step 2.
NO: Inspect circuit 250 for open or short.
2.

Measure resistance between the encoder connector CPS03, socket 4 and B(-).
Is resistance <1 ohm?
YES: Disconnect battery and proceed to Step 3.
NO: Inspect ground circuit 102 for open or short.
3.

Disconnect traction controller connector CPS01 and measure resistance between socket 32 and the encoder connector CPS03, socket 3.
Is resistance <1 ohm?
YES: Proceed to Step 4.
NO: Inspect signal circuit 578 for open or source of excessive resistance.
4.

Measure resistance between socket 31 of the traction controller connector CPS01 and socket 2 of the encoder connector CPS03.
Is resistance <1 ohm?
YES: Proceed to CAUSE C.
NO: Inspect signal circuit 577 for open or source of excessive resistance.
CAUSE B - FAULTY TRACTION ENCODER
PROCEDURE OR ACTION:
1.

Measure voltage between sockets 31/32 and B(-) of the traction connector CPS01; operate traction motor.
Was voltage present?
YES: Proceed to CAUSE D.
NO: Replace encoder. Make sure to indicate the DTC code(s) on the warranty claim to include an accurate problem description leading to controller replacement.
CAUSE C - FAULTY TRACTION MOTOR
PROCEDURE OR ACTION:
NOTE: Disconnect battery.
1.

Measure continuity between the motor terminals U and V.
Is continuity present?
YES: Proceed to Step 2.
NO: Repair or replace faulty motor.
2.

Measure continuity between the motor terminals U and W.
Is continuity present?
YES: Proceed to Step 3.
NO: Repair or replace faulty motor.
3.

Measure continuity between the motor terminals W and V.
Is continuity present?
YES: Proceed to CAUSE D.
NO: Repair or replace faulty motor.
CAUSE D - FAULTY TRACTION CONTROLLER
PROCEDURE OR ACTION:
1.

If no faults are found, replace controller. Make sure to indicate the DTC code(s) on the warranty claim to include an accurate problem description leading to controller replacement.

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
