WARNING: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition must be OFF with the key removed, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

For Vehicles equipped with OnStar® (UE1) with Back Up Battery:

The Back Up Battery is a redundant power supply to allow limited OnStar® functionality in the event of a main vehicle battery power disruption to the VCIM (OnStar®module). Do not disconnect the main vehicle battery or remove the OnStar® fuse with the ignition key in any position other than OFF. Retained accessory power should be allowed to time out or be disabled (simply opening the driver door should disable retained accessory power) before disconnecting power. Disconnecting power to the OnStar® module in any way while the ignition is On or with retained accessory power activated may cause activation of the OnStar® Back-Up Battery system and will discharge and permanently damage the back-up battery. Once the Back-Up Battery is activated it will stay on until it has completely discharged. The back-up battery is not rechargeable and once activated the back-up battery must be replaced.

Special Tools

EL 50313 Midtronics GR8 Battery Tester Charger For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools. Diagnostic Aids

NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with an Absorbent Glass Matt Battery. This type of battery

requires different charging and testing parameters than the more common regular flooded lead acid type battery. ANY time you perform charging and or testing you MUST set up the charging/testing equipment or permanent damage to the battery may result.


image The charging area should be well ventilated.

image Do not charge a battery that appears to be frozen. Allow the battery to warm to room temperature and test it using the EL 50313 before charging.

image An AGM battery may be damaged if charged to more than 14.5 V.

image A Flooded Cell battery may be damaged if charged to more than 16.5 V.

image Vehicles with dual batteries must be charged individually which will result in two printouts.


Battery State of Charge


NOTE: Using voltage to determine the battery's state of charge is only accurate after the battery has been at rest for 24 hours. This is enough time for the acid in each cell to equalize. If the battery has been charged or discharged in the past 24 hours, the battery state of charge will only be an estimate.


The maintenance-free batteries state of charge is estimated by reading the voltage of the battery across the battery terminals. Because the voltage is affected by current flow into or out of the battery, the engine must be stopped and all electrical loads turned OFF, including parasitic loads, when checking the voltage. The voltage can also be affected if the battery has just been charged or discharged, so it is important to consider what has happened to the battery in the time just before testing. Use the following procedure to determine the battery's state of charge:

1. Be sure all electrical loads are turned OFF.

2. Determine whether the battery has been used in a vehicle or charged within the past 12 hours.

image If the answer is no, the terminal voltage will be stabilized and no action is necessary before reading the voltage. Skip to step 3.

image If the answer is yes, terminal voltage will not be stabilized and you should wait 12 hours since the last time the battery was used.

3. Estimate the battery temperature by determining the average temperature to which the battery has been exposed for the past 12 hours.


NOTE: The table is accurate to 10 percent only after the battery has been at rest for 12 hours.


4. Measure the battery voltage at the battery terminals. Refer to the following table to determine the state of charge according to the estimated battery temperature:


Battery Voltage

% Charge at 0°C (32°F)

% Charge at 25°C (75°F)

12.75 V

Use the state of charge information as follows:

image A battery with a state of charge that is below 65 percent must always be recharged before returning it to service or continuing storage.

image A battery with a state of charge that is 65 percent or greater is generally considered to be charged enough in order to be returned to normal service or in order to continue storage. However, if the battery is being used in slow traffic or with short drive times, or if the temperature is very hot or very cold, the battery should be fully charged, to at least 90 percent, before returning it to service or continuing storage.

Charging Time Required


The time required to charge a battery will vary depending upon the following factors:

image The battery charger capacity - The higher the charger amperage, the less time it will take to charge the battery.

image The state of charge of the battery - A completely discharged battery requires more than twice as much charging time as a half charged battery. In a discharged battery with a voltage below 11 V, the battery has a very high internal resistance and may only accept a very low current at first. Later, as the charging current causes the acid content to increase in the electrolyte, the charging current will increase. Extremely discharged batteries may not activate the reversed voltage protection in some chargers. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for operating this circuitry.

image The temperature of the battery - The colder the battery is, the more time it takes to recharge the battery. The charging current accepted by a cold battery is very low at first. As the battery warms, the charging current will increase.

Charging Procedure


CAUTION: Turn OFF the ignition when connecting or disconnecting the battery cables, the battery charger or the jumper cables. Failure to do so may damage the ECM/PCM or other electronic components.


CAUTION: Refer to Fastener Caution .


When charging side-terminal batteries with the battery cables connected, connect the charger to the positive cable bolt and to a ground located away from the battery. When charging side-terminal batteries with the battery cables disconnected, install the battery side terminal adapters and connect the charger to the adapters.

Use the following procedure to charge the battery:

1. Ensure that all of the battery terminal connections are clean and tight.

2. Connect the charger positive lead to the battery positive terminal on the battery or the remote jumper stud underhood.


CAUTION: Do not connect the negative charger lead to the housings of other vehicle electrical accessories or equipment. The action of the battery charger may damage such equipment.


3. Connect the negative charger lead to a solid engine ground or to a ground stud in the engine compartment that is connected directly to the battery negative terminal, but away from the battery. If the negative battery cable is disconnected and a terminal adapter is being used, connect directly to the adapter.

4. Select "Charging," "PDI" and "In Vehicle" when setting up the charger.

5. Select the proper battery type, Flooded, AGM, Spiral AGM or Stop/Start AGM.

6. Enter the CCA as shown on the battery label.

BATTERY ELECTRICAL DRAIN/PARASITIC LOAD TEST

12 V Battery


The following procedure is for the 12 V battery only.

Diagnostic Instructions


image Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. image Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.

image Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.


Circuit/System Description


Components most likely to cause a parasitic draw on the vehicle's battery are switches, relays, and control modules. After the vehicle is turned OFF the control modules will begin to go to sleep (shut OFF). All control modules do not go to sleep at the same time, some may take up to 30 minutes or longer after turning the Vehicle OFF before going to sleep, like the HVAC and body control modules. Others such as the telematics communication interface control module and remote control door lock receiver may periodically wake up then go back to sleep. These are all normal conditions.

Diagnostic Aids


image Rule out any possible aftermarket equipment causing an unacceptable parasitic current drain. Aftermarket accessories installed into the courtesy lamp circuit can cause the inadvertent power timer in the body control module (BCM) to keep resetting. This would cause the BCM to remain awake and cause a current drain on the battery.

image Rule out customer driving habits such as regular short trips that do not allow enough time to properly charge the battery. Refer to Battery Description and Operation .

image Verify that the battery and charging system are in proper working order. Refer to Battery Charging , and

Charging System Test.

image A battery discharging for no apparent reason while the vehicle is parked can be caused by an intermittent draw, such as a module waking up, or a continuous draw, such as a dome light or stuck relay.

image Some systems and modules such as OnStar®, and regulated voltage control, if equipped, are designed to wake-up, perform a task, and go back asleep at regular intervals. Refer to Body Control System Description and Operation for the system or modules description and operation.

image An engine off natural vacuum evaporative test can occur if the engine control module (ECM) determines the drive cycle has met the appropriate criteria immediately after key off. The ECM will stay awake and the vent solenoid will stay energized for as long as 45 minutes. The typical current draw for this is about 1 A.

image The telematics communication interface control module current draw is very low, less than 40 mA, so the OnStar system is left in that "awake" state for up to the first 48 hours. Parasitic draw of up to 40 mA with an occasional spike as high as 80 mA through the telematics communication interface control module for the first 48 hours is normal.

image Some automatic climate control systems can remain in a semi-awake state for up to three hours, actual draw amounts vary by vehicle platform but are typically not greater than 50 mA.

image An extremely low mA current level is consumed by the RKE receiver for monitoring purposes, actual system wake up only occurs when the fobs for the vehicle are used. When other devices on the same RKE operating

frequency are activated, such as the 4 tire pressure monitoring sensors and other vehicle transmitters in the vicinity, the RKE receiver will have a 100 mA spike. These spikes are normal and occur too briefly to have a significant effect on battery drain. Competing signals may cause RKE performance issues such as jamming but should not cause excessive battery draw.

image If an excessive current draw is not present during initial testing, continue periodic testing over a 1-2 hour period to see if the current draw increases and stays above an unacceptable level.


NOTE: The battery specification listed below is a generic specification. Refer to the label on the original battery when testing the battery.


image The battery run down time will vary depending on the batteries reserve capacity. If the reserve capacity is higher, then the battery run down time would be longer. If the reserve capacity is lower, then the battery run down time would be shorter. The graph below indicates roughly how many days a 690 cold cranking amp battery with a 110 minute reserve capacity starting at 80 percent state of charge will last with a constant current draw until it reaches 50 percent state of charge. Differences in battery reserve capacity and temperature will affect the results.

Circuit/System Verification


NOTE: image Most vehicle systems will go to sleep within 30 minutes but it can take up to 2 hours before all systems power down allowing the parasitic draw test to pass. An occasional increase in the parasitic draw is normal as long as it returns within 1 second.

image Closing the door latches/ajar switch while leaving the doors open is recommended, this allows the vehicle systems to perform in a "doors closed" mode while allowing vehicle interior access that may be needed to complete the diagnostic steps.

image Locking doors will arm the vehicle content theft deterrent system if equipped. Failure to arm the system may cause a theft system fault to not be present during testing.

image There are many things that can prevent the vehicle from completely going to sleep and passing the parasitic draw test. Make sure all the conditions listed below are met before performing the parasitic current draw test.

image Vehicle OFF

image Retained Accessory Power RAP OFF - open and close the driver door after Vehicle OFF

image Scan tool not communicating with a vehicle control module - in some cases it may need to be disconnected from the data link connector.

image All access doors closed

image Headlamps OFF - auto headlamps disabled image Any delay lighting OFF

image If equipped with an under hood lamp disable it image HVAC after blow OFF

image Any accessory that can work with Vehicle OFF inactive or OFF

image Wait up to 2 minutes or longer, after all other listed conditions are met


Using an Inductive Pickup Probe

1. Connect an inductive pickup probe to the negative battery cable that can read down to 1 mA.

2. Vehicle OFF, as the vehicle systems shut down test for less than 30 mA of parasitic current drain. image If greater than the specified range, refer to Circuit/System Testing.

Using the EL 38758 Parasitic Draw Test Switch


WARNING: Refer to Battery Disconnect Warning .


CAUTION: When a fused jumper wire or digital multimeter is connected to the test switch terminals, always turn the test switch ON before opening any access door, turning the ignition on, or turning any accessory on. This is to prevent damaging the jumper wire or digital multimeter fuse.

NOTE: The switch knob on the EL 38758 switch is marked ON and OFF. When the switch knob is in the ON position, the circuit is closed and electrical current will pass through the switch. When the switch knob is in the OFF position, the circuit is open and electrical current will not pass through the switch.


1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the battery negative cable from the battery. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection.

2. Turn the EL 38758 switch knob to the OFF position.

3. Install the male end of the EL 38758 switch to the battery ground terminal.

4. Install the battery negative cable to the female end of the EL 38758 switch.

5. Turn the EL 38758 switch knob to the ON position.

6. Road test the vehicle and activate all of the accessories such as the radio and air conditioning.

7. Vehicle OFF, connect a 10 A fused jumper wire to the test switch tool terminals.

8. Turn the EL 38758 switch knob to the OFF position. The current now flows through the jumper wire.

9. Check the fuse in the jumper wire. The fuse should be OK.

image Failed: If the jumper wire fuse is blown, refer to Circuit/System Testing. image Passed

10. Turn the EL 38758 switch knob to the ON position. Remove the fused jumper wire.

11. Connect a digital multimeter set to the 10 A DC scale between the test switch tool terminals.

12. Turn the EL 38758 switch knob to the OFF position. The current now flows through the DMM.

13. As the vehicle systems shut down test for less than 30 mA of parasitic current drain. image If greater than the specified range, refer to Circuit/System Testing.

Circuit/System Testing


NOTE: image Removing or installing a fuse, relay, or connector, to determine the area causing high parasitic draw may wake up control modules. You must wait for the control modules to go back to sleep before retesting. It is best to install any removed or disconnected components after the diagnosis is completed.

image Fuses for power mode master components such as the BCM should be removed last to avoid misdiagnosis.

image If a scan tool is connected to the DLC, either disconnect it or subtract the scan tool current draw from the DMM reading to get the actual vehicle parasitic current draw.


If the vehicle has an unacceptable amount of parasitic current draw, remove each fuse one at a time until the current draw falls to an acceptable level. A drop of more than 10-20 mA, when disabling a single system or circuit, is an indication of an overly high current draw that could be causing the battery drain. Refer to Power Distribution Schematics to diagnose exactly which circuit of the suspect system is causing the high parasitic drain. The follow is a list of common components that could cause a high current draw:

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

BATTERY DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

300 V Battery


For information about the 355 V hybrid drive motor battery, refer to Drive Motor Battery System Description .

Absorbent Glass Mat Battery


This vehicle is equipped with an absorbent glass mat battery. This is similar to current vehicle lead acid flood batteries, except they use glass mats that absorb electrolytes that are pressed between the plates instead of immersing the plates in electrolytes. This allows a smaller, lighter battery with the same amount of power and is less susceptible to heat.

The maximum permissible voltage allowed for the absorbent glass mat battery is 14.8 V (at room temperature).

12 V Battery


WARNING: Batteries produce explosive gases, contain corrosive acid, and supply levels of electrical current high enough to cause burns. Therefore, to reduce the risk of personal injury when working near a battery:

image Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning over the battery whenever possible. image Do not expose the battery to open flames or sparks.

image Do not allow the battery electrolyte to contact the eyes or the skin. Flush immediately and thoroughly any contacted areas with water and get medical help.

image Follow each step of the jump starting procedure in order.

image Treat both the booster and the discharged batteries carefully when using the jumper cables.


NOTE: Because of the materials used in the manufacture of automotive lead-acid batteries, dealers and service shops that handle them are subject to various regulations issued by OSHA, EPA, DOT, and various state or local agencies. Other regulations may also apply in other locations. Always know and follow these regulations when handling batteries.


Batteries that are no longer wanted must be disposed of by an approved battery recycler and must never be thrown in the trash or sent to a landfill.

Batteries that are not part of the vehicle itself, not the battery under the hood, must only be transported on public streets for business purposes via approved hazardous material transportation procedures.

Battery storage, charging and testing facilities in repair shops must meet various requirements for ventilation, safety equipment, material segregation, etc.

The maintenance free battery is standard. There are no vent plugs in the cover. The battery is completely sealed except for 2 small vent holes in the side. These vent holes allow the small amount of gas that is produced in the battery to escape.

Battery Ratings


A battery has 2 ratings:

image Cold cranking amperage image Amp hours

When a battery is replaced use a battery with similar ratings. Refer to the battery specification label on the original battery.

Amp Hours


The amp hour rating tells you how much amperage is available when discharged evenly over a 20 hour period. The amp hour rating is cumulative, so in order to know how many constant amps the battery will output for 20 hours, you have to divide the amp hour rating by 20. Example: If a battery has an amp hour rating of 74, dividing by 20 = 3.75. Such a battery can carry a 3.75 A load for 20 hours before dropping to 10.5 V. (10.5 V is the fully discharged level, at which point the battery needs to be recharged.) A battery with an amp hour rating of 55 will carry a 2.75 A load for 20 hours before dropping to 10.5 V.

Cold Cranking Amperage


The cold cranking amperage is an indication of the ability of the battery to crank the engine at cold temperatures. The cold cranking amperage rating is the minimum amperage the battery must maintain for 30 seconds at - 18°C (0°F) while maintaining at least 7.2 V. Refer to the battery specification label on the original battery for the cold cranking amperage rating for this vehicle.

CHARGING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

12 V Battery

The following information is for the 12 V battery only.

For information about charging the high voltage drive motor batteries, refer to Drive Motor Battery System Description .

Electrical Power Management Overview


The electrical power management system is designed to monitor and control the charging system and send diagnostic messages to alert the driver of possible problems. This electrical power management system primarily utilizes existing on-board computer capability to maximize the effectiveness of the charging system, manage the load, improve battery state of charge and life, and minimize the system's impact on fuel economy. The electrical power management system performs 3 functions:

image It monitors the battery voltage and estimates the battery condition. image It takes corrective actions by adjusting the regulated voltage.

image It performs diagnostics and driver notification.

The battery condition is estimated during Vehicle OFF and during Vehicle in Service Mode. During Vehicle OFF the state of charge of the battery is determined by measuring the open-circuit voltage. The state of charge is a function of the acid concentration and the internal resistance of the battery, and is estimated by reading the battery open circuit voltage when the battery has been at rest for several hours.

The state of charge can be used as a diagnostic tool to tell the customer or the dealer the condition of the battery. During Vehicle ON mode, the algorithm continuously estimates state of charge based on adjusted net amp hours, battery capacity, initial state of charge, and temperature.

While running, the battery degree of discharge is primarily determined by a battery current sensor, which is integrated to obtain net amp hours.

In addition, the electrical power management function is designed to perform regulated voltage control to improve battery state of charge, battery life, and fuel economy. This is accomplished by using knowledge of the battery state of charge and temperature to set the charging voltage to an optimum battery voltage level for recharging without detriment to battery life.

Charging System Components


Drive Motor/Generators

The drive motor/generators are serviceable components located within the transmission housing. When the rotors are spun, an alternating current (AC) is induced into the stator windings. This AC voltage is then sent to the drive motor generator power inverter module (PIM) where it is converted to high voltage direct current (DC) power. The output of the PIM is converted into low voltage electrical power by the accessory DC power converter module (APM) for use by the vehicle's electrical system to maintain electrical loads and battery charge.

Body Control Module (BCM)

The body control module (BCM) is a GMLAN device. It communicates with the engine control module (ECM) and the instrument panel cluster for electrical power management operation. The BCM determines the desired voltage set point and sends the information to the APM. The BCM monitors a battery current sensor, the battery positive voltage circuit, and estimated battery temperature to determine battery state of charge.

Battery Current Sensor

The battery current sensor is a serviceable component that is connected to the negative battery cable at the battery. The battery current sensor is a 3-wire hall effect current sensor. The battery current sensor monitors the battery current. It directly inputs to the BCM. It creates a 5 V pulse width modulation (PWM) signal of 128 Hz with a duty cycle of 0 - 100 percent. Normal duty cycle is between 5 - 95 percent. Between 0 - 5 percent and 95 - 100 percent are for diagnostic purposes.

Engine Control Module (ECM)

The ECM receives control decisions based on messages from the BCM.

Instrument Panel Cluster

The instrument panel cluster provides a means of customer notification in case of a failure and a voltmeter. There are 2 means of notification, a charge indicator and a driver information center message of SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM.

Charging System Operation


The purpose of the charging system is to maintain the battery charge and vehicle loads. There are 6 modes of operation and they include:

image Battery Sulfation Mode image Normal Mode

image Fuel Economy Mode image Headlamp Mode

image Voltage Reduction Mode image Plant Assembly Mode

Battery Sulfation Mode


Battery sulfation mode is used to help maintain the battery life. The charging system will enter a battery sulfation mode which tries to increase the vehicle charging when the charging system voltage is less than 13.2 V for about 30 minutes. Once in this mode, the BCM will set a targeted output voltage between 13.9 - 15.5 V for about 5 minutes. Following this 5 minutes, the BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on the system voltage requirements.

Normal Mode


The BCM will enter Normal Mode whenever one of the following conditions are met.

image The wipers are ON for more than 3 seconds.

image GMLAN Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control head. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode.

image The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). image Vehicle Speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph)

image Current Sensor Fault Exists

image System Voltage was determined to be below 12.56 V image Tow/Haul Mode is enabled

When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9 - 15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.

Fuel Economy Mode


The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the ambient air temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is greater than -8 A but less than 5 A, and the battery state of charge is greater than or equal to 85 percent. Its targeted APM set-point voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.6 - 13.2 V. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Normal Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.

Headlamp Mode


The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode whenever the high or low beam headlamps are ON. Voltage will be regulated between 13.9 - 14.5 V.

Voltage Reduction Mode


The BCM will enter Voltage Reduction Mode when the calculated battery temperature is above 0°C (32°F) and the calculated battery current is greater than -7 A but less than 1 A. Its targeted APM set-point voltage is 12.9 - 13.2

V. The BCM will exit this mode once the criteria are met for Normal Mode.

Plant Assembly Mode


The BCM will increase charging voltage for the first 500 miles of operation in an effort to ensure that the 12 V battery is fully charged when the vehicle is delivered to the customer.

Instrument Panel Cluster Operation


Charge Indicator Operation

The instrument panel cluster illuminates the charge indicator and displays a charging system warning message in the driver information center when the one or more of the following occurs:

image The engine control module (ECM) detects system voltage less than 11 V or greater than 16 V. The instrument panel cluster receives a GMLAN message from the ECM requesting illumination.

image The BCM determines that the system voltage is less than 11 V or greater than 16 V.

image The instrument panel cluster receives a GMLAN message from the BCM indicating there is a system voltage range concern.

image The instrument panel cluster performs the displays test at the start of each Vehicle ON cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.

image Vehicle ON, with the engine OFF.

Battery Voltage Gauge Operation

The instrument panel cluster displays the system voltage as received from the BCM over the GMLAN serial data circuit. If there is no communication with the BCM then the gauge will indicate minimum.

This vehicle is equipped with a regulated voltage control system. This will cause the voltmeter to fluctuate between 12 - 14 V, as opposed to non-regulated systems which usually maintain a more consistent reading of 14 V. This fluctuation with the regulated voltage control system is normal system operation and NO repairs should be attempted.

SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM

The BCM and the ECM will send a GMLAN message to the driver information center for the SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM message to be displayed. It is displayed whenever the charge indicator is commanded ON due to a failure.

STARTING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The HQ1 hybrid system does not use a conventional starter. Refer to Hybrid Modes of Operation Description for information about the starting system.
