DTC P1562 (52): Motor Commutation Sensor B Circuit High Input
- Reset the MCM (see HOW TO RESET THE MCM ).
- Start the engine.
Is DTC P1562 (52) indicated?
- YES - Go to step 3
- NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at motor commutation sensor B and at the MCM.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Turn the battery module switch OFF (see TURNING OFF POWER TO THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT ).
- Remove the IPU lid (see TURNING OFF POWER TO THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT ).
- Disconnect MCM connector D(16P).
- Disconnect the motor commutation sensor 10P connector.
- Connect motor commutation sensor 10P connector terminals No. 1, No. 4, and No. 8 to body ground with a jumper wire.
- Check for continuity between MCM connector terminals D6, D8, D10, and body ground individually.

Is there more than 4.0 V?
- YES - Go to step 14.
- NO - Substitute a known-good MCM, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original MCM.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Reconnect the motor commutation sensor 10P connector.
- Start the engine, and let it idle.
- Measure voltage between MCM connector terminals D8 and D10.

Is there about 2-4 V?
- YES - Substitute a known-good MCM, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original MCM.
- NO - Replace the sensor plate (see IMA MOTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ) or the motor commutation sensor (see IMA MOTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
