HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM Motor High-voltage Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The cause of the malfunction may be the high-voltage circuit of the motor.

Check the motor internal resistance and the connection condition of the high-voltage line between the inverter and motor to check whether there is an open or short circuit.

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:


  • B006HUP

  • 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 grip from HV battery.


    • Inspecting the high-voltage system

    • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly

    • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the HV battery

    • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the electric vehicle charger assembly

    • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the solar energy control unit

  • B006IQP

    To prevent electric shock, make sure to remove the service plug grip to cut off the high voltage circuit before servicing the vehicle.

  • B006HQC

    After removing the service plug grip from the HV battery, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.

  • B006IVPC05
    *a Without waiting for 10 minutes

    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, the electric vehicle charger assembly and the solar energy control unit.

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.

  2. CHECK HYBRID VEHICLE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY (MOTOR (MG2))

    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.

    2. Remove the inverter cover from the inverter with converter assembly.

      Motor Cable (for MG2)

      (Inverter with Converter Assembly Side)

      Using a milliohmmeter, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Tech Tips

      If the motor (MG2) temperature is high, the resistance will vary greatly from the specification. Therefore, measure the resistance at least 8 hours after the vehicle is stopped.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      g2-1 (W) - g2-2 (U) Power switch off 102.2 to 112.6 mΩ
      g2-2 (U) - g2-3 (V) Power switch off 102.2 to 112.6 mΩ
      g2-3 (V) - g2-1 (W) Power switch off 102.6 to 113.0 mΩ

      Tech Tips

      To correct the variation of the measured resistance due to temperature, use the following formula to calculate the resistance at 20°C (68°F).

      R20 = Rt / {1 + 0.00393 X (T - 20)}

      The calculation is based on the following:

      R20: Resistance at 20°C (68°F) (mΩ)

      Rt: Measured resistance (mΩ)

      T: Temperature when the resistance is measured (°C (°F)).

    5. Using a megohmmeter set to 500 V, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Note

      Be sure to set the megohmmeter to 500 V when performing this test. Using a setting higher than 500 V can result in damage to the component being inspected.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      g2-1 (W) - Body ground and shield ground Power switch off 10 MΩ or higher
      g2-2 (U) - Body ground and shield ground Power switch off 10 MΩ or higher
      g2-3 (V) - Body ground and shield ground Power switch off 10 MΩ or higher
