| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0A4B-253 | Generator Position Sensor Circuit |
| P0A4C-513 | Generator Position Sensor Circuit Range / Performance |
| P0A4D-255 | Generator Position Sensor Circuit Low |
DESCRIPTION
A resolver is a sensor that is used to detect the position of the magnetic poles of the rotor of a motor generator. Knowing the position of the poles is indispensable for ensuring precise control of MG2 and MG1.
Each resolver contains a stator that has an excitation coil and 2 detection coils (S, C) (Click here).
The inverter with converter assembly (MG ECU) monitors output signals from the generator resolver and detects malfunctions.
| DTC No. | INF Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| P0A4B | 253 | Interphase short in the generator resolver circuit |
|
| P0A4C | 513 | Generator resolver output is out of the normal range | |
| P0A4D | 255 | Open or short in the generator resolver circuit |
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
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 disconnecting 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.
Check for output DTCs again after the repair has been completed. If P0A78-286 or P0A7A-324 is output, replace the inverter with converter assembly.
Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.
If the problem symptom cannot be reproduced, performing a road test on a road on which the vehicle tends to vibrate will make it easier to reproduce the symptom.
PROCEDURE
CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION CONDITION (INVERTER WITH CONVERTER ASSEMBLY CONNECTOR)
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
Before disconnecting the connector, confirm that it is properly connected by checking that the locking claws are engaged and that the connector cannot be pulled out.
Turn the power switch off.
Remove the service plug grip (Click here).
After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the power switch on (READY) unless instructed by the repair manual because this may cause a malfunction.
Check the connection of the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly.
| OK |
|---|
| The connector is connected securely and there are no contact problems. |
When connecting the connector, insert it with the locking lever in the raised position. Rotate the lever downward and make sure that the connector is pulled into its socket. When the locking lever is in its fully closed position, a click will be heard as its locking claws engage. After the click is heard, pull up on the connector to confirm that it is properly connected.
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (INVERTER WITH CONVERTER ASSEMBLY - GENERATOR RESOLVER)
Disconnect the low voltage connector from the inverter with converter assembly.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION CONDITION (GENERATOR RESOLVER CONNECTOR)
Check the connection condition of the generator resolver connector and the contact pressure of each terminal. Check the terminals for deformation, and check the connector for water ingress and foreign matter.
| OK |
|---|
| The connector is connected securely and there are no contact problems. |
If the terminals connect poorly, are damaged, or contain water or foreign matter, repair or replace the wire harness or connector.
CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION CONDITION (MOTOR RESOLVER CONNECTOR)
Check the connection condition of the motor resolver connector and the contact pressure of each terminal. Check the terminals for deformation, and check the connector for water ingress and foreign matter.
| OK |
