DTC SUMMARY
MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates when the temperature inside the inverter has become abnormal. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:
Hybrid cooling system malfunction
- Coolant is leaking, insufficient coolant level, frozen or the passenger of coolant is clogged.
- Grille is blocked.
Internal inverter malfunction
- Inverter internal circuit malfunction
- Malfunction in ECU that controls the inverter
- Malfunction in sensor for inverter control (coolant sensor)
DESCRIPTION
Refer to the system description for the cooling system.

COMPONENT OPERATING RANGE
| Hybrid vehicle control ECU | DTC P0A93 (INF 346) is not detected |
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). [A]
-
Perform a road test according to the freeze frame data item "Vehicle Spd" for approximately 15 minutes. [B]
During the road test, check Data List items "Inverter Coolant Water Temperature", "Inverter Temp- (MG2)", "Inverter Temp- (MG1)", "DC/DC Cnv Temp (Upper)", " DC/DC Cnv Temp (Lower)" and "Engine Coolant Temp" to prevent them from overheating.
- 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, perform the following steps to check for permanent DTCs.
- Check that the permanent DTCs are cleared.
- 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.

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.
-
Perform a road test according to the freeze frame data item "Vehicle Spd" for approximately 15 minutes.
During the road test, check Data List items "Inverter Coolant Water Temperature", "Inverter Temp-(MG2)", "Inverter Temp- (MG1)", "Rear Inverter Temp", "DC/DC Cnv Temp (Upper)" and " DC/DC Cnv Temp (Lower)" to prevent them from overheating.
PROCEDURE
