CONTENTS
The cause of the malfunction may be the EV battery high-voltage line circuit.
Check the continuity in the high-voltage line from the EV battery to the inverter.
Check the connection condition and for an open circuit in the frame wire from the service plug grip (for EV) and EV battery to the inverter and perform a function check of the system main relay.
| Area | Inspection | Step |
|---|---|---|
| High-voltage circuit from EV battery to inverter | Check connection condition and for open circuit. | 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 |
| Service plug grip (for EV) | Check connection condition and for open circuit. | 4, 5 |
| System Main Relay | Check operation condition as relay. | 12, 13 |
DESCRIPTION
The EV battery high voltage is supplied to the inverter via the system main relay operation.
For high voltage wiring diagrams, refer to the system description.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
This step is referenced from the procedures for each DTC.
If the inspection results below are normal, perform the next procedure for the referenced DTC.
CAUTION:
Before the following operations are conducted, take precautions to prevent electric shock by turning the power switch off, wearing insulated gloves, and removing the service plug grips from both FC stack assembly and EV battery.
Inspecting the high-voltage system
Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly
Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the EV battery
Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the FC stack assembly
Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the FC converter assembly
Tech Tips
No removal order is specified for the service plug grips of the FC stack assembly and EV battery.
After removing the service plug grip from the EV battery, 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 grip from the FC stack assembly, store it in a safe location and use the "HIGH-VOLTAGE, DO NOT TOUCH" sign to notify other technicians that you are working on the high-voltage system.
| *a | Without waiting for 10 minutes |
After removal of the service plug grips of both FC stack assembly and EV battery, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching the high-voltage connectors and 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
At least 10 minutes are necessary to discharge the high-voltage capacitors inside the inverter with converter assembly and FC stack 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.
When reinstalling the service plug grip to the FC stack assembly or the EV battery, slide the lever of the service plug until the letters "UNLOCK" are completely hidden, and insert it firmly.
When the vehicle is parked with the power switch off, if the FC control ECU judges that the FC stack temperature will go below 0°C (32°F), it activates the FC air compressor, hydrogen pump and FC cooling water pump for a maximum of 180 seconds and drains water from the FC stack assembly. When performing inspection or repairs with the power switch off (not on (IG) or on (READY)), disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal before performing work (If the auxiliary battery voltage is needed to conduct inspection, warm up the FC system beforehand).
PROCEDURE
CHECK FC INVERTER INPUT JUNCTION ASSEMBLY (CHECK CONNECTION CONDITION OF FRAME WIRE)
CAUTION:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
Check that the service plug grip is not installed to FC stack assembly and EV battery.
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.
Disconnect the A45 FC inverter input junction cover connector.
Remove the FC inverter input junction cover from the FC inverter input junction assembly.
Check that the bolt for the frame wire is tightened to the specified torque, the frame wire is connected securely, and there are no contact problems.
| Specified Condition |
