DESCRIPTION
The battery temperature sensors are provided at 6 locations on the bottom of the EV battery. The resistance of the thermistor, which is built into each battery temperature sensor, varies in accordance with changes in the EV battery temperature. The lower the battery temperature, the higher the thermistor resistance. Conversely, the higher the temperature, the lower the resistance. The battery voltage sensor uses the battery temperature sensors to detect the EV battery temperature, and sends the detected value to the EV control ECU. Based on the results of this detection, the EV control ECU controls the blower fan. (The blower fan starts when the EV battery temperature rises above a predetermined level.)

Tech Tips
After checking for the above DTCs, check the hybrid system Data List item "Temperature of Battery" using the GTS.
| Temperature Displayed | Malfunction |
|---|---|
| Below -45°C (-49°F) | Open or +B short circuit |
| 95°C (203°F) or more | GND short circuit |

Temperature of Battery TB1 to TB3 |
Tech Tips
After leaving the vehicle for 1 day, the values of data monitor item "Temperature of Battery TB1 to TB3" should be equal to the outside temperature.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
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).
Tech Tips
After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and wait for 10 seconds or more.
When disposing of an EV battery, make sure to return it through an authorized collection agent who is capable of handling it safely. If the EV battery is returned via the manufacturer specified route, it will be returned properly and in a safe manner by an authorized collection agent.
