Lexus NX: All HV Gate Blocking Range/Performance (P321E-318)

DESCRIPTION

The hybrid vehicle control ECU sends a block signal to the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) to shutdown the power supply to the motor. When the system is not in the on (READY) state, it sends an HSDN (MG shutdown signal) signal from the hybrid vehicle control ECU to the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) to check the function of the HV gate block. When a malfunction is detected in the HV gate block function, DTCs are stored.

DTC No.

All HV Gate Blocking Range/Performance

An open or ground short in the HV gate block signal circuit when the gate is operating.

When the HV gate block function check is performed (when the power switch is turned from on (READY) to off), the inverter voltage (VH) drops and current flows in the inverter. (The generator (MG1), motor (MG2) and rear motor (MGR) are malfunctioning.)

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

  • Before inspecting the high-voltage system or disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly, take safety precautions such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip to prevent electrical shocks. After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
  • After removing the service plug grip, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals. After waiting for 10 minutes, check the voltage at the terminals in the inspection point in the inverter with converter assembly. The voltage should be 0 V before beginning work.

    HINT:

    Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.

NOTICE:

After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

HINT:

After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.

  1. Wait for 30 seconds or more with the vehicle stopped, the power switch on (READY) and the shift lever in P. Then turn the power switch off and wait for 60 seconds or more.
