| P1CCC96 | DC/DC Converter Enable Component Internal Failure |
DESCRIPTION
The DC/DC converter converts the DC 310.8 V of the HV battery into DC 12 V in order to supply power to areas such as the vehicle lighting system, audio system and various ECUs. Additionally, it charges the auxiliary battery.
A transistor bridge circuit initially converts DC 310.8 V into alternating current, and a transformer lowers the voltage.
The DC/DC converter controls the output voltage in order to keep a constant voltage at the terminals of the auxiliary battery.
Then, it is rectified and smoothed (into direct current) and converted into DC 12 V.
The motor generator control ECU sends a signal to the DC/DC converter to prohibit its control and receives signals indicating a normal or abnormal condition of the 12 V charging system via the NODD signal line.
If the DC/DC converter malfunctions, the vehicle will become inoperative. Therefore, the motor generator control ECU monitors the operation of the DC/DC converter and detects malfunctions.
This DTC is stored when the DC/DC converter circuit has a malfunction or its operation is prohibited by a fail-safe function, or the auxiliary battery voltage drops to 11 V or less with the power switch on (READY).
If a DC/DC converter malfunction occurs, DC/DC converter malfunction signals are sent from the DC/DC converter to the MG ECU via the NODD signal line.
This DTC may also be stored if a malfunction of the inverter cooling system (blockage, water pump malfunction, etc.) or a high-voltage insulation malfunction occurs.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Warning Indicate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P1CCC96 | DC/DC Converter Enable Component Internal Failure | Either of the following conditions is met:
(1 trip detection logic) |
|
Does not come on | Master Warning Light: Comes on |
Tech Tips
*: If the DC/DC converter is malfunctioning, its operation and charging will be stopped and the auxiliary battery voltage will drop.
WIRING DIAGRAM
Refer to the wiring diagram for the Generator High-voltage Circuit.
Refer to the wiring diagram for the Motor High-voltage Circuit.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
Before the following operations are conducted, take precautions to prevent electric shock by turning the power switch off, wearing insulated gloves, and removing the service plug grip from HV battery.
Inspecting the high-voltage system
Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly
Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the HV battery
To prevent electric shock, make sure to remove the service plug grip to cut off the high voltage circuit before servicing the vehicle.
After removing the service plug grip from the HV battery, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
| *a | Without waiting for 10 minutes |
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.
Tech Tips
Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.
Note
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.
Tech Tips
After repair, clear the DTCs, turn the power switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more and perform the following procedure to confirm that the auxiliary battery low voltage indicated by this DTC has been repaired.
Wait for 2 minutes with park (P) selected, the power switch on (READY) and the following conditions met, then confirm that Data List item "BATT Voltage (Hybrid control system)" is between 13.0 and 15.0 V.
(If charging is not performed and the electrical load increases, +B voltage may not be steady and will gradually drop.)
Headlight switch is in the HI position.
A/C blower fan switch is in the HI position.
Window defogger switch is turned on.
By performing the following procedure, the DC/DC converter function can be checked.
Connect the AC/DC 400 A probe to the positive (+) auxiliary battery cable.
Turn the power switch on (READY) and leave the vehicle as is until the electric current flowing to the auxiliary battery becomes 10 A or less.
Turn the power switch on (READY) and turn the headlight switch and A/C blower fan switch to the HI position and the window defogger on.
Confirm that the current drawn from the auxiliary battery is 0 A or lower and the auxiliary battery voltage is between 13.0 and 15.0 V.
This DTC may be also stored when a part other than the DC/DC converter is malfunctioning or depending on user operation.
If this vehicle is used to jump start another vehicle with a discharged battery, a fuse may blow due to overcurrent or the DC/DC converter self-protection may be activated. Also, if this vehicle is jump started by a vehicle with a 24 V battery, the same malfunction may occur and this DTC may be stored. (The suspended DC/DC converter control will return to normal by clearing the DTCs and turning the power switch off.)
Confirm that high electrical load equipment such as a high-capacitance audio device or electric kettle is used in the vehicle. (A fuse of the auxiliary battery may be blown due to overcurrent.)
If the DC/DC converter is malfunctioning, the auxiliary battery cannot be charged. Therefore, once the power switch is turned off, it may be impossible to turn it on (READY) again if the auxiliary battery is completely discharged. In this case, charge the auxiliary battery. Be careful as charging is not performed during the inspection.
If the power switch turns off immediately after it is turned on (READY), the auxiliary battery voltage may be low. Charge the auxiliary battery.
PROCEDURE
CHECK DTC OUTPUT
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control and Motor Generator / Trouble Codes.
Check for DTCs.

CHECK DC/DC CONVERTER FUNCTION
Tech Tips
The current at the AMD terminal cannot be measured directly because of space limitations. Measure the current flowing at the auxiliary battery instead.
Connect the AC/DC 400 A probe of the tester to the positive (+) auxiliary battery cable.
Install the service plug grip.
Connect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
Turn the power switch on (READY) and leave the vehicle as it is until the electric current flowing to the auxiliary battery becomes 10 A or less.
Tech Tips
If the power switch turns off immediately after it is turned on (READY), auxiliary battery voltage may be low. Recharge the auxiliary battery and perform this procedure again.
