| P0A7F-123 | Hybrid Battery Pack Deterioration |
DESCRIPTION
The battery voltage sensor and the power management control ECU calculate the SOC (state of charge) of the HV battery through the accumulated amperage in the HV battery. The battery voltage sensor sends the condition of the HV battery to the power management control ECU. Then the power management control ECU calculates the SOC based on the information and controls HV battery charge and discharge according to the driving condition.
Based on the HV battery voltage and current, the battery voltage sensor calculates the resistance and judges that the HV battery has deteriorated.

Tech Tips
This DTC can be stored after clearing DTCs and driving the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes. (As 2 trip detection logic is also used, check for DTCs including pending DTCs.)
When the internal resistance of the HV battery increases, battery block voltage may drop.
In order to ensure HV battery performance, appropriate cooling performance must be maintained. Perform the following items as necessary. If cooling performance has decreased and "Maintenance required for hybrid battery cooling parts at your dealer" is displayed on the multi-information display, make sure to perform the following items:
- Make sure the air intake port is not blocked.
- Make sure there are no gaps between the connecting parts of the ducts.
- Clean the filter of the No. 1 and No. 6 hybrid battery intake duct.
Clear the DTCs to reset the learning values even if no DTCs are stored.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
When disposing of an HV battery, make sure to return it through an authorized collection agent who is capable of handling it safely. If the HV battery is returned via the manufacturer specified route, it will be returned properly and in a safe manner by an authorized collection agent.
Tech Tips
After the repair, clear the DTCs, perform the following operations, and check that no DTCs (including pending DTCs) are output.
Drive the vehicle on urban roads for approximately 10 minutes or more.
This DTC may not be stored if the vehicle is stopped or being driven at a constant speed.
PROCEDURE
CHECK FOR DTCS (HYBRID CONTROL)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.
Read output DTCs.

READ VALUE USING GTS (VB01 - VB16)
Ensure the safety of the areas in front and at the back of the vehicle.
Apply the parking brake and secure the wheels using chocks.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (READY).
Fully warm up the engine and turn the air conditioning off.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List / Battery Block Vol -V01 to V16.
Firmly depress the brake pedal with your left foot.
Move the shift lever to D.
Record each battery block voltage from the Data List "Battery Block Vol -V01 to V16" while fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
Compare the battery block voltages "Battery Block Vol -V01 to V16" between the even and odd number groups in each combination shown in the table below.
| Circuit A Battery Block | Circuit B Battery Block | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Block Vol - V01 (VB1) | Battery Block Vol - V02 (VB2) | "Battery Block Vol - V01" - "Battery Block Vol - V02" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V04 (VB4) | Battery Block Vol - V03 (VB3) | "Battery Block Vol - V04" - "Battery Block Vol - V03" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V05 (VB5) | Battery Block Vol - V06 (VB6) | "Battery Block Vol - V05" - "Battery Block Vol - V06" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V08 (VB8) | Battery Block Vol - V07 (VB7) | "Battery Block Vol - V08" - "Battery Block Vol - V07" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V09 (VB9) | Battery Block Vol - V10 (VB10) | "Battery Block Vol - V09" - "Battery Block Vol - V10" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V12 (VB12) | Battery Block Vol - V11 (VB11) | "Battery Block Vol - V12" - "Battery Block Vol - V11" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V13 (VB13) | Battery Block Vol - V14 (VB14) | "Battery Block Vol - V13" - "Battery Block Vol - V14" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V16 (VB16) | Battery Block Vol - V15 (VB15) | "Battery Block Vol - V16" - "Battery Block Vol - V15" = 0.3 V or more |
| Circuit A Battery Block | Circuit B Battery Block | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Block Vol - V01 (VB1) | Battery Block Vol - V02 (VB2) | "Battery Block Vol - V02" - "Battery Block Vol - V01" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V04 (VB4) | Battery Block Vol - V03 (VB3) | "Battery Block Vol - V03" - "Battery Block Vol - V04" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V05 (VB5) | Battery Block Vol - V06 (VB6) | "Battery Block Vol - V06" - "Battery Block Vol - V05" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V08 (VB8) | Battery Block Vol - V07 (VB7) | "Battery Block Vol - V07" - "Battery Block Vol - V08" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V09 (VB9) | Battery Block Vol - V10 (VB10) | "Battery Block Vol - V10" - "Battery Block Vol - V09" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V12 (VB12) | Battery Block Vol - V11 (VB11) | "Battery Block Vol - V11" - "Battery Block Vol - V12" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V13 (VB13) | Battery Block Vol - V14 (VB14) | "Battery Block Vol - V14" - "Battery Block Vol - V12" = 0.3 V or more |
| Battery Block Vol - V16 (VB16) | Battery Block Vol - V15 (VB15) | "Battery Block Vol - V15" - "Battery Block Vol - V16" = 0.3 V or more |
Tech Tips
When an internal malfunction occurs in the battery voltage sensor, this symptom (difference in voltage of 0.3 V or more for all 8 pairs of blocks) will occur.
