INSPECTION PROCEDURE

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 disconnecting 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.

  • If P0AA4-232 is stored, the hybrid system cannot be turned on.

      *1 Hybrid Battery Junction Block Assembly

      Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      g3-1 - z22-1 Power switch off 10 kΩ or higher

      Tech Tips


      • If a system main relay is stuck closed, inspect the HV relay assembly without removing it from the vehicle, in order to keep the relay closed.

      • If the result of reading the freeze frame data is B, the HV battery junction block must be replaced. Measuring resistance can determine that this is either a present or past malfunction.
