DTC SUMMARY
MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that an overvoltage in the inverter has occurred. 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 | 3 |
| Resolver | Open or short circuit in the motor resolver, generator resolver or rear motor resolver circuit | 4, 5, 6 |
| Motor, generator or rear motor | | 7, 8, 9 |
| HV battery system | High voltage line circuit malfunction | 10 |
| Inverter |
| 11 |
DESCRIPTION
For a description of the inverter.
Click here .gif)
If a malfunction occurs in the motor inverter, generator inverter, rear motor, the MG ECU detects it and transmits this information to the hybrid vehicle control ECU.
HINT:
The term "drive motor A" indicates the motor (MG2).
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Warning Indicate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0A78-121 | Drive Motor "A" Inverter Performance | Motor inverter overvoltage signal detected (overvoltage due to system malfunction): Overvoltage is detected after boosting. A malfunction is detected in any of the motor components (motor inverter, motor, MG ECU, etc.).* (1 trip detection logic) |
| Comes on | Master Warning Light: Comes on |
*: This DTC is output when a large voltage is generated by the motor inverter and there is no history information indicating the specific part.
Check related parts (inverter, motor, generator, resolver, cable, wire harness, hybrid vehicle control ECU).
Related Data List| DTC No. | Data List |
|---|---|
| P0A78-121 | VH-Voltage after Boosting |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If the motor inverter detects overvoltage, it will transmit an overvoltage 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 turn the Techstream on.
- Turn the power switch on (READY).
- With the shift lever in P and engine stopped, depress the accelerator pedal to start the engine. [A]
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes. [B]
-
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.

HINT:
After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.
- With the engine stopped, the power switch on (READY) and the shift lever in P, depress the accelerator pedal to start the engine.
