CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Before inspecting the high-voltage system, take safety precautions to prevent electrical shocks, such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip. 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 (Click here).
At least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.
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 (Click here).
PROCEDURE
CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HYBRID CONTROL)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

Turning the power switch on (IG) with the service grip removed causes other DTCs to be stored. Clear the DTCs after performing this inspection.
As there might be an intermittent malfunction in the battery smart unit power source circuit, inspect the following even if the measured voltage is as specified:
Installation condition of fuse(s) (before removing fuse(s)) (IGCT circuit)
Fuse condition (before and after removing fuse(s)) (IGCT circuit)
Connection condition of connectors (IGCT circuit)
Wire harness condition (IGCT circuit)
Wire harness condition (GND circuit)
Turn the power switch off.
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
Install the rear seat side garnish LH.
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (BATTERY SMART UNIT POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT)
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROL ECU - BATTERY SMART UNIT)
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
Check that the service plug grip is not installed.
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 H1 power management control ECU connector (Click here).
Remove the rear seat side garnish LH (Click here).
Disconnect the P10 battery smart unit connector.
