| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| 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
In order to ensure HV battery performance, appropriate cooling performance must be maintained. Perform the following as necessary:
Make sure the air intake port is not blocked.
Make sure there are no gaps between the connecting parts of the ducts.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
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 and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs (include pending DTCs) are not output.
Drive the vehicle on urban roads for approximately 10 minutes.
Note: This DTC may not be stored if the vehicle is stopped or being driven at a constant speed.
PROCEDURE
CHECK DTC OUTPUT (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.

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 V14" while fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
Compare the battery block voltages "Battery Block Vol - V01 to V14" between the even and odd number groups in each combination shown in the table below.
