P0A2A15 Drive Motor "A" Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Auxiliary Battery or Open

DTC SUMMARY


  1. MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

    These DTCs are stored when the motor temperature sensor output is abnormal. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:


      Hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly internal malfunction

    • Hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly malfunction


      Motor temperature sensor malfunction

    • Internal motor temperature sensor malfunction

    • Open or short in motor temperature sensor


      Wire harness between the motor temperature sensor and hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly

    • The connectors are not connected properly

    • Foreign matter or water on the connector terminals

    • Open or short in wire harness

    Tech Tips

    If any of these DTCs are stored, the motor temperature sensor is malfunctioning and the self-protection function may not operate. Therefore under certain high load driving condition, the temperature of the motor (MG2) becomes high. If the self-protection function does not operate, the motor (MG2) may malfunction and cause the vehicle to enter fail-safe mode.

DESCRIPTION

The resistance of the thermistor built into the motor temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the motor (MG2) temperature. The lower the motor (MG2) temperature, the higher the thermistor resistance. Conversely, the higher the motor (MG2) temperature, the lower the resistance.

Tech Tips

The term "drive motor A" indicates the motor (MG2).

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

Tech Tips

After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

Click here


  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

  4. Turn the power switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.

  5. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  6. With power switch on (IG) and wait for 5 seconds or more.

  7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Utility / All Readiness.

  8. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Tech Tips


    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform driving pattern again.
