DESCRIPTION
The inverter water pump assembly transmits rotation speed information to the power management control ECU (HV CPU). The power management control ECU (HV CPU) monitors the speed and detects malfunctions.
| DTC No. | INF Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| P0C73 | 776 | A speed or intermittent stop malfunction occurs in the inverter water pump assembly. |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
If DTC P0A78-284, 286, P0A79-692, 696, P0A7A-322, 324, P0A94-553 or 557 is output, replace the inverter with converter assembly after this inspection.
PROCEDURE
CHECK QUANTITY OF HV COOLANT
Check the coolant level in the inverter reserve tank.
Check for coolant leaks.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| Coolant leaks are not evident. A sufficient amount of coolant remains in the inverter reserve tank. | A |
| Coolant leaks are not evident. No coolant remains in the inverter reserve tank. | B |
| Coolant leaks are evident. | C |
Tech Tips
After repairing the coolant leaks and adding coolant, perform the "Activate the Water Pump" Active Test (HV Active Test item) and the "Control the Electric Cooling Fan" Active Test (Engine Active Test item) and make sure that there are no malfunctions.

CHECK INVERTER WATER PUMP ASSEMBLY
Note
Be sure to perform the inspection with the auxiliary battery voltage at 11 V or more.
Tech Tips
When the auxiliary battery voltage is low, the inverter water pump assembly may not operate.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List.
Select Inverter W/P Revolution in the Data List.
Read the Data List.
| OK |
|---|
| Inverter W/P Revolution is 625 rpm or less. |
Turn the power switch off.
| NG |
|
| OK |

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACTIVATE THE WATER PUMP)
Note
Be sure to perform the inspection with the auxiliary battery voltage at 11 V or more.
Tech Tips
When the auxiliary battery voltage is low, the inverter water pump assembly may not operate.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Active Test / Activate the Water Pump.
Select Inverter W/P Revolution in the Data List.
While performing the "Activate the Water Pump" Active Test, check Inverter W/P Revolution in the Data List.
| Result | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Tech Tips
Perform the Active Test with the inverter coolant temperature between -15 and 65°C (5 to 149°F).
Turn the power switch off.
| NG |
|
| OK |
|
CHECK HV COOLANT (CHECK FOR CONDITIONS THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED FREEZING)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Read the freeze frame data Ambient Temperature using the intelligent tester.
Check if the freeze frame data Ambient Temperature is below freezing.
| Result | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Tech Tips
HV coolant (SLLC) with a 30% concentration freezes at -15 °C (5°F) and HV coolant (SLLC) with a 50% concentration freezes at -35°C (-31°F).
If the HV coolant freezes in the HV radiator or inverter water pump assembly, the coolant temperature in the inverter with converter assembly rises because the HV coolant cannot circulate. As a result, a DTC may be set.
A DTC is set when the inverter water pump assembly impeller cannot rotate due to freezing of the HV coolant.
If a DTC is set due to freezing of HV coolant, the problem cannot be reproduced. Judge whether freezing of HV coolant occurred according to the freeze point of the HV coolant, HV coolant change history and ambient temperature when the DTC was set.
Turn the power switch off.
