Lexus NX: Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (P0A1D-187)
DESCRIPTION
The hybrid vehicle control ECU monitors its internal operation, it will store a DTC and perform fail-safe control if it detects the following malfunction. If the following DTC is output, replace the hybrid vehicle control ECU.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Warning Indicate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0A1D-187 | Hybrid Powertrain Control Module | ECU internal malfunction (1 trip detection logic) | Hybrid vehicle control ECU | Comes on | Master Warning Light: Comes on |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The hybrid vehicle control ECU performs diagnostic tests to verify proper operation of internal and external ECU systems. In one of these tests, the hybrid vehicle control ECU monitors specific RAM circuits of the hybrid vehicle control ECU. If the hybrid vehicle control ECU detects an error in the RAM circuits, it will conclude that there is an internal malfunction and will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.
