P0A13 Description
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the hardwired DC/DC enable signal to turn the DC/DC converter on and off. The DC/DC converter provides feedback to the PCM using the hardwired DC/DC fault signal. The DC/DC fault signal informs the PCM when the converter is not operational or when a fault has occurred.
