NTC Overview
NTC 0x0A4.(0-2) Absolute Temperature Thermal Limit

Description:

  • This diagnostic logs a fault when either the controller temperature or copper temperature estimate exceed calibrated values. 

Diagnostic Overview:

  • The  system components are designed to operated below specific temperature thresholds. If these threshold values are exceeded, a limit is applied to the system via limit tables to protect the components, and a diagnostic flag is set. 

  • This is a recoverable fault that clears once the controller temperature or copper temperature fall below the calibrated thresholds.
     

Typical Fault Response:  

  • Response for this diagnostic is F3. 

  • This fault is recoverable once the temperature values fall below the threshold within an ignition cycle.

     

Probable Sources
(Most to Least Probable):

  • Excessive system usage 

  • System is exposed to high ambient temperature.
