  1. MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

    This DTC indicates that magnetic force deterioration of the permanent magnet located in the rotor inside the motor (MG2) has been detected. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:

    Area Main Malfunction Description
    Inverter Inverter with converter assembly internal circuit malfunction
    Hybrid vehicle transmission assembly

    • Motor (MG2) malfunction (entry of foreign matter, etc.)

    • Open or short circuit in the motor coils

    • Motor (MG2) permanent magnet magnetic force deterioration
    Inverter low-voltage circuit The connectors are not connected properly
    Motor cable

    • Defective motor cable connection condition

    • Open circuit or poor insulation in motor cable
    Hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly Hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly internal circuit malfunction

DESCRIPTION

When three-phase alternating current flows through the three-phase windings of the stator coil, a rotating magnetic field is generated in the motor (MG2). The system controls the rotation of the magnetic field in accordance with the rotating position and speed of the rotor. As a result, the permanent magnets provided in the rotor are pulled in the direction of rotation, generating torque. The generated torque is almost proportional to the amount of current. The system controls motor speed by regulating the frequency of the alternating current. Furthermore, the system properly controls the rotating magnetic field and the angle of the rotor magnets in order to generate high torque in an efficient manner, even at high speeds.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

Tip:

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. Turn the power switch on (READY).

  7. Drive the vehicle until the cumulative traveling time driving at a vehicle speed of 40km/h (25 mph) or more is a few minutes. (It is not necessary to drive continuously at 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.)

  8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Motor Generator / Utility / All Readiness.

  9. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Tip:

    • 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, perform driving pattern again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

  • B004STG

    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

  • B004Y5N

    To prevent electric shock, make sure to remove the service plug grip to cut off the high voltage circuit before servicing the vehicle.

  • B004SX1

    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.

  • B004W3JC06
    *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.

    Click here

    Tip:

    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.
