HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0C39-626, P0C3C-625

DTC Code DTC Name
P0C39-626 DC / DC Converter Temperature Sensor "A" Range / Performance
P0C3C-625 DC / DC Converter Temperature Sensor "A" Intermittent / Erratic

DTC SUMMARY


  1. MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

    These DTCs indicate the boost converter temperature sensor (upper) value is abnormal. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:


      Internal inverter malfunction

    • Inverter with converter assembly internal circuit malfunction


      Hybrid cooling system malfunction

    • Coolant circulation abnormal (frozen or leaking, etc.)


      Inverter low-voltage circuit malfunction

    • The connectors are not connected properly

DESCRIPTION

The MG ECU, which is built into in the inverter with converter assembly, detects the temperature of the boost converter using the temperature sensor built into the boost converter. If necessary, the MG ECU will limit inverter output to help prevent boost converter overheating. The hybrid vehicle control ECU also detects malfunctions in the sensor based on the temperature sensor values. The inverter with converter assembly detects malfunctions in the boost converter temperature sensor and its wiring.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Warning Indicate
P0C39-626 DC / DC Converter Temperature Sensor "A" Range / Performance

Boost converter temperature (upper) calculated by the hybrid vehicle control ECU is different from the actual temperature for 10 seconds or more, and the boost converter temperature (upper) is excessively high.

Sudden change in boost converter temperature (upper) sensor output or hunting:

Either of the following conditions is met:


  1. Unusual sudden change in boost converter temperature sensor (upper) output occurs and the offset continues for a certain period of time.*

  2. Unusual sudden change in boost converter temperature sensor (upper) output occurs repeatedly.*

  • Inverter cooling system

  • Cooling fan system

  • Inverter with converter assembly

  • Wire harness or connector

Tech Tips

*: If only DTC P0C3C-625 is output, a temperature sensor malfunction is more likely to be the cause than a sudden change in actual temperature.

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

After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.


  1. Turn the power switch on (READY) and wait for 90 seconds or more.

  2. Drive the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes referring to the freeze frame data or Data List item: "Vehicle Spd".

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HYBRID CONTROL)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.

    4. Check for DTCs.


      Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Trouble Codes

    CAUTION:

    Be sure to wear insulated gloves.


    1. Check that the service plug grip is not installed.

      Note

      After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the power switch on (READY), unless instructed by the repair manual because this may cause a malfunction.

      Note

      Before disconnecting the connector, confirm that it is properly connected by checking that the locking claws are engaged and that the connector does not pull out.

      OK
      - The connector is connected securely.
      - The terminals are not deformed and are connected securely.
      - No water or foreign matter in the connector.

      Tech Tips

      When connecting the connector, insert it with the locking lever in the raised position. Rotate the lever downward and make sure that the connector is pulled into its socket. When the locking lever is in its fully closed position, a click will be heard as its locking claws engage. After the click is heard, pull up on the connector to confirm that it is properly connected.
