Geely Emgrand EV Pro Traction Battery System Diagnosis and Disassembly Guide

Fault Background

The Emgrand EV Pro traction battery uses a ternary lithium battery (cobalt/manganese/nickel compound cathode + carbon material anode capable of lithium-ion intercalation + organic electrolyte), mounted under the vehicle body. Its internal structure is a clear functional chain: Cell → Module → CSC acquisition system → BMS (integrated inside the assembly) → B-BOX high-voltage distribution unit (mounted at the positive/negative output terminals). Key diagnostic knowledge points: Insulation faults are coded separately based on whether the high-voltage relay is closed or open (P154100/P154300); pre-charge diagnostics have two calibration thresholds: current >5A for 50ms and pre-charge time 600ms; balance diagnostics look at (SOC_Max − SOC_Min) > 30%. On the disassembly side, follow the sequence: "disconnect negative terminal → lift vehicle → disconnect DC bus → drain battery coolant → disconnect high-voltage harness connectors". Torque specifications: 78 N·m (battery pack) and M10x35 68~88 N·m / M10x20 35~55 N·m / M5x12 5~7 N·m. This article compiles the structure, working principles, DTCs, diagnostics, and disassembly into a reference guide.

System Composition and Working Principle

LevelDescription
CellBasic unit that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy (electrode/separator/electrolyte/housing/terminal), rechargeable
ModuleOne or more cells combined in series, parallel, or series-parallel, with only one pair of positive/negative output terminals
CSC acquisition systemEach battery unit is equipped with multiple CSCs, monitoring cell voltage and temperature and reporting to the BMS, performing cell voltage balancing per BMS commands
BMS battery control unitIntegrated inside the traction battery assembly: monitors total voltage, total current, temperatures at various points, and cell voltages in real time; performs fault diagnosis, SOC calculation, short-circuit protection, leakage monitoring, alarm display, and charge/discharge mode selection; reports parameters to the VCU, which controls charge/discharge power
B-BOX high-voltage distribution unitMounted at the positive/negative output terminals of the assembly: high-voltage positive relay, high-voltage negative relay, precharge relay, current sensor, precharge resistor

DTC Key Points (BMS Side)

CategoryDTC and Meaning
Insulation faultP154100: Insulation fault with high-voltage relay closed; P154300: Insulation fault with high-voltage relay open; P15D494/P15D694 (related insulation detection codes)
Low-voltage supplyU300616 Battery voltage too low / U300617 Battery voltage too high (detected when BMS is awakened)
Current detectionP152409: Current message invalid flag or out of range [−800, +800]A with flag set for 2s; SCAN current message lost
BalancingP152917: (SOC_Max − SOC_Min) > 30%; P152D00 Balancing stop reason: balancing circuit fault; P152B21 balancing-related code; balancing temperature invalid
PrechargeP153729: Precharge current >5A for more than 50ms with precharge relay closed and main negative relay closed (50 is calibratable); P153763/P15371E: Precharge time exceeded (initial calibration 600ms/0.6, calibratable)
Main positive/negative relayBMS requests main positive relay closed but it is already closed (stuck); BMS requests closed but it does not close; BMS requests open but it remains closed—same series of diagnostic codes for main negative relay
CommunicationU247281: One VCU_Command message checksum error

Diagnostic Process Key Points

  1. Routine inspection (appearance, connectors, foreign objects/water traces);
  2. Measure battery voltage in ON mode: standard 9~16V, if not, replace battery or repair charging system first;
  3. Fuse check: CF27 (interior) / EF03, EF18 (front compartment), if blown, repair circuit and replace with same capacity fuse;
  4. Read BMS DTCs and classify per the above table;
  5. Insulation category: distinguish "high-voltage relay closed/open" conditions corresponding to different codes;
  6. Relay category: judge main positive/negative and precharge relays by three states: "stuck closed/not closed/not opened";
  7. After repair, complete confirmation test per standard.

Disassembly/Assembly and Torque

Disassembly sequence: Wear insulating gloves as required → disconnect battery negative cable (follow battery disconnect warning) → lift vehicle → disconnect DC bus assembly (traction battery side) → drain traction battery coolant (prevent coolant overflow at outlet hose connection) → disconnect front compartment harness connector → disconnect traction battery high-voltage harness connector → move traction battery to platform cart, slowly lift and slowly move cart backward to remove assembly.

Installation sequence (reverse of removal): platform cart lift and align → tighten mounting bolts → connect high-voltage harness and front compartment harness connectors → connect DC bus → fill traction battery coolant → lower vehicle → connect battery negative cable.

Safety Warnings

  • This article is for technical reference only. Traction battery service must be performed by certified personnel per OEM specifications. Readers unfamiliar with the procedure must not attempt it themselves.
  • When removing the traction battery assembly, insulating gloves must be worn as required; disconnect the battery negative cable and follow high-voltage operation warnings.
  • After disconnecting high-voltage harness connectors, insulate them immediately; the traction battery is a high-voltage hazard, and improper handling can cause injury or death.
  • Coolant draining/filling must prevent splashing onto high-voltage connectors; the assembly is heavy, so platform cart operation must be slow to prevent falling.
  • Fasteners must be torqued per manual; bracket bolts and sealing plate bolts must not be interchanged.

Maintenance Insights

The most memorable points from the Emgrand EV Pro traction battery manual are the three "condition distinctions". First, insulation faults are coded by condition—P154100 is insulation fault with high-voltage relay closed, P154300 with relay open; when diagnosing, first confirm relay state then match code, which directly eliminates false alarms from relay not engaged. Second, two calibration values for precharge diagnostics—precharge current >5A for 50ms and precharge time 600ms; exceeding these triggers precharge codes, giving clear quantitative boundaries for "slow precharge/precharge failure". Third, balancing is judged by SOC difference—(SOC_Max−SOC_Min)>30% triggers imbalance, and with P152D00 (balancing circuit fault) you can distinguish "cell difference" from "balancing circuit fault" as root causes. Structurally, remember the four members of the B-BOX (positive/negative/precharge relays + current sensor + precharge resistor); relay DTCs' three-state judgment ("stuck closed/not closed/not opened") all revolve around them. On the disassembly side, two numbers: battery pack mounting 78 N·m, bracket M10x35 68~88 N·m.
