Run XENTRY routine "Check HV battery internal communication" – identifies faulty CSC by position (e.g., "CSC 2 does not respond").

| Cause | Probability | Mechanism | |-------|-------------|------------| | | 45% | Internal ASIC (e.g., Maxim MAX17853, ADI LTC6811) loses communication due to supply noise or latch-up | | Internal bus wiring harness fault | 25% | Broken or high-resistance connection on battery internal CAN/LIN (e.g., wire bond inside pack, corroded connector) | | BMS master internal fault | 15% | Failed transceiver or corrupted firmware | | Electromagnetic interference | 10% | External HV switching (e.g., DC-DC converter, compressor inverter) injecting noise onto internal bus – rare | | Software timing issue | 5% | CSC firmware timing drift after many wake/sleep cycles (fixed by update) | 6. Diagnostic Procedure (XENTRY) Step 1 – Verify DTC Scan all HV components. P1D687A may appear alongside P1D687B, P1D687C if multiple CSCs lost. mercedes-benz p1d687a

| Condition | Threshold | |-----------|------------| | HV system active (contactors closed or in precharge) | Yes | | 12V supply to BMS master stable | 9–16V | | Internal bus wake-up pattern sent by BMS | Completed | | Missing cyclic counter increment from any CSC for > 5 consecutive cycles | Yes | | Or: CRC error rate on internal bus > 30% over 10 seconds | Yes | Run XENTRY routine "Check HV battery internal communication"

Perform HV isolation test to rule out moisture ingress into battery pack (which can short bus lines). P1D687A may appear alongside P1D687B, P1D687C if multiple

This is a detailed technical paper on the Mercedes-Benz fault code/trouble code , based on Mercedes-Benz WIS (Workshop Information System) documentation, XENTRY/DAS diagnostic data, and common failure patterns observed in the field. Technical Service Paper: Diagnostic Trouble Code P1D687A Manufacturer: Mercedes-Benz DTC: P1D687A System: High-Voltage (HV) Battery Management / Battery Energy Control Variant Relevance: Primarily EQ Boost (MHEV - Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle) with 48V onboard electrical system (e.g., M256 engine in W222 S-Class, W223, W205, W213, W167 GLE) and full BEV/HV systems (e.g., EQC, EQE, EQS). Severity Level: 2 (Reduced performance, warning lamp, possible drivetrain derate) 1. Code Definition P1D687A – Communication with the high-voltage battery management control unit has a malfunction. The signal path is faulty.

Measure voltage at BMS master connector – must be >11.5V during cranking.
