| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0AAE-123 | Hybrid Battery Pack Air Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Low |
| P0AAF-123 | Hybrid Battery Pack Air Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit High |
DESCRIPTION
The intake air temperature sensor (battery) is mounted on the HV battery. The resistance of the sensor varies in accordance with changes in the intake air temperature. The characteristics of the intake air temperature sensor are the same as those of the battery temperature sensors. (For details, Click here.) The battery smart unit uses signals from the intake air temperature sensor to control the air volume of the battery cooling blower assembly.
| DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0AAE-123 | When the temperature indicated by the intake air temperature sensor is 95°C (203°F) or more (short to GND). |
|
| P0AAF-123 | When the temperature indicated by the intake air temperature sensor is -45°C (-49°F) or less (open circuit or short to +B). |
Tech Tips
After confirming that DTCs P0AAE-123 and P0AAF-123 are output, use the intelligent tester to check "Inhaling Air Temp" in the hybrid control system data list.
| Displayed Temperature | Malfunction |
|---|---|
| -45°C (-49°F) or less | Open circuit or short to +B |
| 95°C (203°F) or more | Short to GND |
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
Before inspecting the high-voltage system, 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.
Tech Tips
Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.
PROCEDURE
CHECK FOR DTCS (DTC P0AFC-123 IS OUTPUT)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.
Check if DTCs are output.
