WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to the wiring diagram for DTC P0AE6-225 Click here.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:


  • When performing P0AA1-233 troubleshooting, use either a tool wrapped with vinyl insulation tape or an insulated tool. It is extremely dangerous when a high-voltage charge passes through a non-insulated tool causing a short.

  • Before inspecting the high-voltage system or disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly, 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 removing 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 Click here.

    Tech Tips

    Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.

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.

  • If the DTCs are cleared or the cable is disconnected and reconnected to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal before performing repairs, turning the power switch on (READY) may cause a malfunction. Do not turn the power switch on (READY).

  • Do not turn the power switch on (IG) with the service plug grip removed, as this may cause a malfunction.

  • If DTC P0AA1-233 is output, do not install the service plug grip before completing repair.

    If the service plug grip is not removed, the HV battery will gradually discharge and the SOC will decrease.

Tech Tips

If P0AA1-233 is stored, the hybrid system cannot be turned on.
