HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0AE6-225

DTC Code DTC Name
P0AE6-225 Hybrid Battery Precharge Contactor Control Circuit Low

DESCRIPTION

The SMRs (System Main Relays) are the relays that connect or disconnect the high voltage power system in accordance with commands from the hybrid vehicle control ECU.

There are 3 SMRs and 1 system main resistor. SMRB, SMRP, SMRG, and the system main resistor are located in the hybrid battery junction block assembly in the HV battery.

To connect to the high voltage power system, the vehicle will first turn on SMRP and SMRB to charge the vehicle through the system main resistor. Then, SMRP will be turned off after SMRG is turned on. To shut off the high voltage power system, SMRB and SMRG are turned off.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:


  • 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.

    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.

Tech Tips


  • If DTC P0AE6-225 is output, the power switch cannot be turned on (READY).

  • After the repair, clear the DTCs, perform the following procedure and check that the same DTC (including pending DTC) is not output.


    1. Turn the power switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more.

    2. Turn the power switch on (READY) and wait for 30 seconds or more.

    3. Turn the power switch off and wait for 60 seconds or more.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU - BODY GROUND)


    1. Disconnect the I115 hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.
