Lexus NX: Generator Control Module (P0A1A-166)
DESCRIPTION
The MG ECU, which is built into the inverter with converter assembly, monitors its internal operation and will store DTCs if the system is malfunctioning. If any of the following DTCs are output, replace the inverter with converter assembly.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Warning Indicate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0A1A-166 | Generator Control Module | MG ECU internal malfunction: R/D converter NM stop error (1 trip detection logic) | Inverter with converter assembly | Comes on | Master Warning Light: Comes on |
| DTC No. | Data List |

| P0A1A-166 | - |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The MG ECU performs many diagnostic tests to verify proper operation of internal ECU systems. In one of these tests, the MG ECU checks for an R/D (Resolver/Digital Converter) malfunction involving the generator resolver. If the MG ECU detects an R/D error, it will conclude that there is an internal malfunction involving the generator resolver and the hybrid vehicle control ECU will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
- 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 (READY).
- With the vehicle stopped with the shift lever in P, depress the accelerator pedal and start the engine. [A]
- Depress the accelerator pedal and keep the engine running for 30 seconds or more. [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, check for permanent DTCs.
- Check that the permanent DTCs are cleared.
- If the permanent DTCs are not cleared, perform the universal trip, and then check for permanent DTCs again.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
If DTC P0A1A-166 is output, clear the DTCs, perform the following procedure, and check that the same DTC is not output after the repair.
- Turn the power switch on (READY).
- With the vehicle stopped and the shift lever in P, depress the accelerator pedal and start the engine.
- Depress the accelerator pedal and keep the engine running for 30 seconds or more.
