CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
- Wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip before inspection as procedures may require disconnecting high-voltage connectors. Carry the removed service plug in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are servicing the vehicle.
- Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is removed.
NOTICE:
-
After the power switch is turned off, there may be a waiting time before disconnecting the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.

| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| Only DTC B1473 is output | A |
| DTCs B1473 and P3108 are output simultaneously (B1498 is not output) | |
| DTCs B1473 and B1498 are output simultaneously (P3108 is not output) | B |
| DTCs B1473, B1498 and P3108 are output simultaneously | |
| DTCs other than P3108 are output for hybrid control system | C |
| B | | GO TO DTC B1498 |
| C | | GO TO HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM |
|
| 3. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU - COMPRESSOR WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY) |
CAUTION:
Do not disconnect the connector on the high-voltage side.
(a) Disconnect the A61 hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.
(b) Disconnect the C43 compressor with motor assembly connector.
NOTICE:
Do not allow any foreign matter or water to enter the compressor with motor assembly.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| A61-11 (STB) - C43-4 (STBI) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| A61-11 (STB) or C43-4 (STBI) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 4. | INSPECT COMPRESSOR WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY |
(a) Disconnect the hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.
| (b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Voltage:
|
|
| OK | | REPLACE HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU |
| NG | | REPLACE COMPRESSOR WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY |
