Lexus NX: Hybrid Battery Pack Current Sensor Circuit Range / Performance (P0AC0-817)
DESCRIPTION
A battery current sensor is installed to the positive (+) cable side of the HV battery and detects current flowing from the HV battery. The battery current sensor outputs voltage, which changes between 0 and 5 V according to the detected amperage, to the IB terminal of the battery voltage sensor. The battery voltage sensor sends signals to the hybrid vehicle control ECU. The hybrid vehicle control ECU determines the charging and discharging amount of the HV battery based on the received signals and calculates the SOC of the HV battery through the accumulated amperage.

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 (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
- Turn the power switch on (READY).
- Drive the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes according to the freeze frame data items "Vehicle Spd", "Accelerator Degree", "Power Resource IB", "M(MG2) Trq Exec Val" and "G(MG1) Trq Exec Val".
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.
-
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 the universal trip, and then check for permanent DTCs again.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.
- Drive the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes according to the freeze frame data items "Vehicle Spd", "Accelerator Degree", "Power Resource IB", "M(MG2) Trq Exec Val" and "G(MG1) Trq Exec Val".
