HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0A1B-198

DTC Code DTC Name
P0A1B-198 Drive Motor "A" Control Module

DESCRIPTION

The MG ECU located in the inverter with converter assembly monitors its internal operation and it will set DTCs when it detects malfunctions. If any of the following DTCs are output, replace the inverter with converter assembly.

Tech Tips

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

DTC No. INF Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0A1B 198

MG ECU internal malfunction:

R/D converter NM stop error

(1 trip detection logic)

Inverter with converter assembly

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The MG ECU (in the inverter with converter assembly) performs many diagnostic tests to verify proper operation of internal ECU systems. In one of those tests, the MG ECU checks for an R/D (Resolver/ Digital converter) malfunction involving the motor resolver. If the MG ECU detects an R/D converter error, it will conclude that there is an internal malfunction involving the motor resolver. The power management control ECU will illuminate the MIL and set a DTC.
