Causes
- Short to battery voltage (B+) on the Power Supply A circuit
- Faulty generator/inverter (inverter/charger / power electronics module)
- Damaged or corroded wiring harness or connector to the inverter
- Blown or incorrectly rated fuse/fusible link or faulty relay in the power feed
- Control module internal failure or software anomaly
- Poor ground or high-resistance ground connection causing incorrect reference
Symptoms
- Hybrid/EV warning light or charge system warning illuminated
- Reduced power or limp/limited drive mode
- Charging system faults or failure to charge high-voltage battery
- Unable to start or poor start behavior on hybrid systems
- Stored DTC(s) related to inverter, generator, or voltage supply
What to check
- Read freeze frame and live data with a scan tool (note voltages, state of charge, and related codes)
- Inspect harness, connectors and junctions for damage, pin corrosion, or water intrusion
- Check fuses, fusible links, and relays in the inverter/generator power feed
- Measure battery pack (or 12V battery where applicable) and accessory battery voltages
- Probe the Power Supply A circuit at the inverter connector for voltage with key ON
- Perform resistance/continuity checks for short to battery (B+) and short to ground
Signal parameters
- Power Supply A circuit voltage (key ON, engine off): expected nominal ~ vehicle specified reference (commonly 5V or battery voltage feed depending on design) — High condition: voltage above allowed upper threshold
- Battery pack voltage / 12V battery voltage for comparison (should match expected system values)
- Inverter supply fuse voltage (should not be greater than battery + tolerance)
- Control module input reference/logic voltage (typically ~5 V or other specified logic rail) — should remain within supplier tolerance
- Diagnostic threshold: sustained over-voltage on the Power Supply A line for a defined time (manufacturer-specific)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve all related DTCs and freeze-frame data. Note vehicle conditions when fault set.
- Check accessory/12V and high-voltage battery voltages and state of charge. Verify correct system voltage before proceeding.
- Visually inspect inverter/generator harness, connectors, fuses, relays, and ground points for damage, corrosion, loose pins, or water intrusion.
- With key ON (engine off) and safety protocols followed for HV systems, measure voltage at the Power Supply A connector pin at the inverter and at the control module. Compare to specified nominal and observe if voltage is above expected upper limit.
- If high, disconnect the inverter connector (or isolatable section) and re-measure the voltage at the harness side to determine if the short is upstream (toward battery) or internal to the inverter. If voltage disappears when disconnected, suspect inverter internal fault.
- Perform continuity/ohms testing from the Power Supply A circuit to B+ and to ground to find a short or intermittent connection. Use back-probing and wiggle testing while monitoring voltage.
- Check and, if necessary, inspect or replace fuses/fusible links/relays in the power feed. A partially failed fuse can sometimes create odd voltages.
- If wiring and fuses are OK, consult service information for module test procedures and software updates. Reflash/update inverter/control module software if a known issue exists.
- Replace or repair damaged wiring, connectors, or the inverter/control module as indicated by test results. Use OEM procedures for HV system handling.
- After repairs, clear codes, perform relearn procedures if required, and road test to confirm the fault does not return.
Likely causes
- Short to B+ on the Power Supply A wiring (most common)
- Loose/corroded connector at inverter or junction block
- Faulty inverter power electronics module
- Blown/partially open fuse or fusible link feeding the inverter
- Faulty control module input stage
Fault status
Status
Generator Inverter Power Supply A Circuit High — the inverter power supply input is above the expected voltage range. Possible causes include a short to battery voltage, wiring/connector fault, or a failing inverter/control module.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1–4 hours
