DTC SUMMARY
MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates when the temperature of the boost converter has become abnormal. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:
| Area | Main Malfunction Description | Step |
|---|---|---|
| Inverter low-voltage circuit | The connectors are not connected properly | 2 |
| Hybrid cooling system | Coolant is leaking, insufficient coolant level, frozen or the passenger of coolant is clogged. | 3 |
| Resolver | Open or short circuit in the motor resolver, generator resolver or rear motor resolver | 4, 5, 6 |
| Motor, generator or rear motor | | 7, 8, 9 |
| Inverter |
| 10 |
DESCRIPTION
For a description of the boost converter.

If a malfunction occurs in the boost converter, the MG ECU detects it and transmits this information to the hybrid vehicle control ECU.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Warning Indicate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0A94-553 | DC / DC Converter Performance | Boost converter fail signal detected (overheat): Overheating or an internal short circuit of the boost converter is detected. (1 trip detection logic) |
| Comes on | Master Warning Light: Comes on |
| DTC No. | Data List |
|---|---|
| P0A94-553 |
|
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If the boost converter overheats, it will transmit an inverter fail signal to the MG ECU. Then the MG ECU will send information about the malfunction to the hybrid vehicle control ECU. Upon receiving this information, the hybrid vehicle control ECU will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
- Turn the power switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more.
- Turn the power switch on (IG) and check that there are no abnormalities (abnormal sounds, coolant leaks, etc.).
- Turn the power switch on (READY) and turn the Techstream on.
- With the shift lever in P, wait for 5 seconds. [A]
- With the engine stopped and shift lever in P, depress the accelerator pedal to start the engine. [B]
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes. [C]
-
Read the current DTCs.
HINT:
- If a current DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If current DTCs are not output, perform the following steps to check for permanent DTCs.
- Check that the permanent DTCs are cleared.
- If the permanent DTCs are not cleared, perform a universal trip, and then check for permanent DTCs again.

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.
Click here
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.

- After troubleshooting and repairing all output DTCs, be sure to replace the inverter with converter assembly. (The inverter with converter assembly may have been broken or damaged due to overheating.)
HINT:
After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.
- Turn the power switch on (READY) and wait for 5 seconds or more.
- With the engine stopped and the shift lever in P, depress the accelerator pedal to start the engine.
