Main Malfunction Description

Step

Inverter low-voltage circuit

The connectors are not connected properly

3

Hybrid vehicle control ECU

Hybrid vehicle control ECU internal circuit malfunction

4

Inside of inverter

Inverter with converter assembly internal circuit malfunction

4

Hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly (including motor cable)

  • Internal motor malfunction (entry of foreign matter, etc.)
  • Motor permanent magnet magnetic force deterioration
  • Open or short circuit in the motor coils
  • Defective motor cable connection
  • Open circuit or poor insulation on motor cable

DESCRIPTION

When three-phase alternating current flows through the three-phase windings of the stator coil, a rotating magnetic field is generated in the motor. The system controls the rotation of the magnetic field in accordance with the rotating position and speed of the rotor. As a result, the permanent magnets provided in the rotor are pulled in the direction of rotation, generating torque. The generated torque is almost proportional to the amount of current. The system controls motor speed by regulating the frequency of the alternating current. Furthermore, the system properly controls the rotating magnetic field and the angle of the rotor magnets in order to generate high torque in an efficient manner, even at high speeds.

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

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The MG ECU monitors the motor. If the MG ECU detects a reduction in the magnetic force of the motor (MG2) or an inphase short, it interprets this as a motor failure. 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. Drive the vehicle until the cumulative traveling time driving at a vehicle speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) or more is a few minutes. (It is not necessary to drive continuously at 40 km/h (25 mph) or more)[A]
  8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes. [C]
  9. 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.
  10. Check that the permanent DTCs are cleared.
  11. If the permanent DTCs are not cleared, perform the 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.

  1. Drive the vehicle until the cumulative traveling time driving at a vehicle speed of 50 km/h (31 mph) or more is a few minutes. (It is not necessary to drive continuously at 50 km/h (31 mph) or more.)

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.
