| P0A7F-123 | Hybrid Battery Pack Deterioration |
DESCRIPTION
The battery smart unit and the hybrid vehicle control ECU calculate the SOC (state of charge) of the HV battery through the accumulated amperage in the HV battery. The battery smart unit sends the condition of the HV battery to the hybrid vehicle control ECU. Then the hybrid vehicle control ECU calculates the SOC based on the information and controls HV battery charge and discharge according to the driving condition.
Based on the HV battery voltage and current, the battery smart unit calculates the resistance and judges the HV battery has deteriorated.

Tech Tips
P0A7F-123 will not be set unless the vehicle is driven for approximately 10 minutes after clearing the DTC. (As 2 trip detection logic is used, check for DTCs including pending DTCs.)
In order to ensure HV battery performance, appropriate cooling performance must be maintained. Perform the following items as necessary:
Make sure the air intake port is not blocked.
Make sure there are no gaps between the connecting parts of the ducts.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
When disposing of an HV battery, make sure to return it through an authorized collection agent who is capable of handling it safely. If the HV battery is returned via the manufacturer specified route, it will be returned properly and in a safe manner by an authorized collection agent.
Before returning the HV battery, make sure to perform a recovery inspection Click here
Make a note of the output DTCs as some of them may be necessary for recovery inspection of the HV battery.

READ VALUE USING GTS (VB1 - VB8)
Ensure the safety of the areas in front and at the back of the vehicle.
Apply the parking brake and secure the wheels using chocks.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (READY).
Fully warm up the engine and turn the air conditioning off.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List / Battery Block Vol - V01 to V08.
Firmly depress the brake pedal with your left foot.
Move the select lever to D.
Record each battery block Voltage from the Data List (Battery Block Vol -V01 to V08) while fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
Compare the battery block voltages (Battery Block Vol -V01 to V08) between the even and odd number groups in each combination shown in the table below.
| Circuit A Battery Block | Circuit B Battery Block | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Block Vol-V01 (VB1) | Battery Block Vol-V02 (VB2) | "Battery Block Vol - V01" - "Battery Block Vol - V02" = 0.6 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol-V04 (VB4) | Battery Block Vol-V03 (VB3) | "Battery Block Vol - V04" - "Battery Block Vol - V03" = 0.6 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol-V05 (VB5) | Battery Block Vol-V06 (VB6) | "Battery Block Vol - V05" - "Battery Block Vol - V06" = 0.6 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol-V08 (VB8) | Battery Block Vol-V07 (VB7) | "Battery Block Vol - V08" - "Battery Block Vol - V07" = 0.6 V or more |
| Circuit A Battery Block | Circuit B Battery Block | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Block Vol-V01 (VB1) | Battery Block Vol-V02 (VB2) | "Battery Block Vol - V02" - "Battery Block Vol - V01" = 0.6 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol-V04 (VB4) | Battery Block Vol-V03 (VB3) | "Battery Block Vol - V03" - "Battery Block Vol - V04" = 0.6 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol-V05 (VB5) | Battery Block Vol-V06 (VB6) | "Battery Block Vol - V06" - "Battery Block Vol - V05" = 0.6 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol-V08 (VB8) | Battery Block Vol-V07 (VB7) | "Battery Block Vol - V07" - "Battery Block Vol - V08" = 0.6 V or more |

CHECK BATTERY SMART UNIT
Note
Make sure to use tester probes with a diameter of approximately 0.5 mm (0.0197 in.) when measuring the resistance.
Remove the battery smart unit.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Tech Tips
It is only necessary to measure the resistance of the battery smart unit at the terminals which relate to the lower voltage battery block of pairs of battery blocks for which the difference in voltage in the Data List was 0.6 V or more.
