EA4-x NTC 0x0A3(0) Duty Cycle Exceeded
NTC Overview
NTC 0x0A3.0 Duty Cycle Exceeded
(Reduced Performance)
Description:
- •This diagnostic logs a fault when the thermal duty cycle filters exceed a calibrated threshold relative to thermal duty cycle performance. 
Diagnostic Overview:
- •Thermal duty cycle performance is customer specific and the duty cycle filter calibrations are designed to meet the specification while thermally protecting system components. 
- •The duty cycle filters monitor the current load supplied to the components (which is directly related to power loss and hence temperature rise) . If the current level and duration is above a specified performance, a limit is applied via a thermal limit table and a flag is set when the filter max output exceeds a calibrated limit. 
Typical Fault Response:
- •Response for this diagnostic is F3 
- •This is a recoverable fault that clears once the max filter output falls below the threshold within an ignition cycle. 
 
Probable Sources 
(Most to Least Probable):
- •High current input for extended period of time. 
- •Excessive steering usage by the driver.
