Area

Main Malfunction Description

Step

Inverter low-voltage circuit

The connectors are not connected properly

3

Hybrid cooling system

Coolant is leaking, insufficient coolant level, frozen or the passenger of coolant is clogged.

4

Resolver

Open or short circuit in the motor resolver or generator resolver

5, 6

Motor or generator

  • Open or short circuit in the motor or generator coils
  • An internal motor or generator malfunction (iron particles or damage from foreign objects)

7, 8

Inverter

  • Internal circuit malfunction in the inverter for the motor
  • Malfunction in ECU that controls the inverter
  • Malfunction in the sensors for inverter control (current sensor, voltage sensors (VH, VL), etc.)

DESCRIPTION

For a description of the inverter.

Click here

If the motor inverter overheats, has a circuit malfunction or internal short, the inverter transmits this information to the MG ECU via the motor inverter fail signal line.

HINT:

The term "drive motor A" indicates the motor (MG2).

DTC No.

  • Vehicle Spd
  • Inverter Temp-(MG2)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If the motor inverter overheats, it will transmit an inverter fail signal to the MG ECU. 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.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  4. Turn the power switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more.
  5. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
  6. Turn the power switch on (READY).
  7. With the shift lever in P, wait for 5 seconds or more. [A]

    HINT:

    Check that there are no abnormalities (abnormal sounds, coolant leaks, etc.).

  8. Perform a road test according to the freeze frame data item "Vehicle Spd" for approximately 10 minutes. [B]
  9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes. [C]
  10. 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.
  11. Check that the permanent DTCs are cleared.
  12. 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.

    Click here

  • 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.

  1. Turn the power switch on (READY) and wait for 5 seconds or more.
  2. Perform a road test according to the freeze frame data item "Vehicle Spd" for approximately 10 minutes.

    During the road test, check the data list item "Inverter Temp-(MG2)" to prevent the motor inverter from overheating.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HYBRID CONTROL)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(c) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.

(d) Check for DTCs.

Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Trouble Codes

HINT:

  • If P0A78-202 is output, troubleshoot it first. After completing the troubleshooting for P0A78-202, perform troubleshooting for this DTC.
  • Parts repaired or replaced during troubleshooting for P0A78-202 do not need to be re-inspected in this diagnostic procedure.

(e) Turn the power switch off.

P0A78-202 is also output.

GO TO DTC CHART (P0A78-202)

P0A78-202 is not output.

2.

CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HYBRID CONTROL)
