HYBRID BATTERY SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0A84-123

DTC Code DTC Name
P0A84-123 Hybrid Battery Pack Cooling Fan 1

DESCRIPTION

The speed of the battery cooling blower assembly (for upper side) is controlled by the hybrid vehicle control ECU in accordance with the HV battery temperature and SOC. Battery cooling blower assembly (for upper side) power is supplied when the FCTL terminal of the hybrid vehicle control ECU turns on the BATT FAN 1 relay. The hybrid vehicle control ECU sends command signals (SI0) to the battery cooling blower assembly (for upper side) to achieve the fan speed that corresponds to the HV battery temperature. Voltage (VM0) from the battery cooling blower assembly (for upper side) is used to monitor the operation of the battery cooling blower assembly (for upper side). The voltage is sent from the battery cooling blower assembly (for upper side) to the hybrid vehicle control ECU via the battery smart unit. Between the battery smart unit and the hybrid vehicle control ECU, serial communication is used.

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.
