AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0AA6-611

DTC Code DTC Name
P0AA6-611 Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation Fault

DESCRIPTION

The DTC is stored if there is insulation trouble with the high-voltage circuit in the air conditioning system. Possible causes are poor insulation in the compressor with motor assembly, or mixing of any oil other than ND-OIL 11 in the refrigerant cycle.

A high-voltage motor is built into the electrical compressor and is cooled directly with refrigerant. Compressor oil (ND-OIL 11) with high insulation performance is used because a leakage of electrical power may occur if regular compressor oil (ND-OIL 8) is used.

CAUTION:


  • Wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip before inspection as procedures may require disconnecting high-voltage connectors.

  • Be sure to carry the removed service plug grip because other workers may install it by mistake.

  • Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is removed.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:


  • Wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip before inspection as procedures may require disconnecting high-voltage connectors.

  • Be sure to carry the removed service plug grip because other workers may install it by mistake.

  • Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is removed.

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 Click here.

  • Electrical insulation performance may decrease significantly if even a small amount of oil other than ND-OIL 11 is used (or enters) in the refrigerant cycle, causing the DTC to be output.

  • If other oil is accidentally used and a DTC is output, collect the oil in the refrigerant cycle into the compressor and replace it with ND-OIL 11 to increase the ND-OIL 11 ratio amount.

  • Replace the main components (evaporator, condenser, and compressor) if a large amount of oil other than ND-OIL 11 enters the system. Failing to do so may cause electrical insulation performance to remain low, causing the DTC to be output.

  • The hybrid control system and air conditioning system output DTCs separately. Inspect DTCs following the diagnosis procedure for the hybrid control system first if any DTCs from those systems are output simultaneously.

Tech Tips

If it can be confirmed that any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11 has been used in the vehicle, replace the air conditioning cycle.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM


    1. Using the Techstream to check if the CAN communication system is functioning normally.

  2. INSPECT COMPRESSOR WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY

    CAUTION:

    Because the compressor has a high-voltage circuit, wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip to cut off the high-voltage circuit before inspection.


    1. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    2. Turn the power switch on (READY).

    3. Prepare the vehicle according to the table below for 3 minutes.

      Item Condition
      Blower speed HI
      Temperature setting MAX COLD
      A/C On

    4. Turn the power switch off.

    5. Remove the service plug grip Click here.

      CAUTION:

      Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is removed.

      Note

      After removing the service plug grip, turning the power switch on (READY) may cause a malfunction. Do not turn the power switch on (READY) with the service plug grip removed.

      (Compressor with Motor Assembly)

      Disconnect the G1 compressor with motor assembly connector.

    7. Using a megohmmeter, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      G1-1 (PE) - Body ground Always 2 MΩ or higher
      G1-2 (PB) - Body ground Always 2 MΩ or higher

    OK

  3. INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING CYCLE

    CAUTION:

    Because the compressor has a high-voltage circuit, wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip to cut off the high-voltage circuit before inspection.


    1. Reconnect the connector to the compressor with motor assembly.

    2. Install the service plug grip Click here.

    3. Turn the power switch on (READY).

    4. Set the A/C temperature to 25°C (77°F) and the blower switch to LO and then operate the compressor for 10 minutes to circulate the refrigerant and collect as much compressor oil as possible in the compressor.

    5. Turn the power switch off.

    6. Using a spot cooler or other tools, cool down the compressor with motor assembly for 30 minutes, or leave the vehicle overnight before inspection.

      Note

      Do not operate the compressor before inspection.

    7. Remove the service plug grip Click here.

      CAUTION:

      Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is removed.

      Note

      After removing the service plug grip, turning the power switch on (READY) may cause a malfunction. Do not turn the power switch on (READY) with the service plug grip removed.
