DTC No. INF Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0A90 509

Motor system malfunction

If current does not flow as commanded, the motor high voltage system may be malfunctioning.

DTCs are detected when the vehicle is stopped or being driven at low speeds.

(1 trip detection logic)

  • Hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly

  • Motor cable

  • Inverter with converter assembly

  • Wire harness or connector

  • Hybrid vehicle control ECU

Suspected malfunctioning parts:


CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

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 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.

    Tech Tips

    Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.

Note

After turning the ignition 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.

Tech Tips


  • If a malfunction occurs after disconnecting and connecting the motor cable, check the cable connection.

  • After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.


    1. Start the vehicle from a stop and drive the vehicle until the vehicle speed reaches approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). Repeat this procedure a few times.

      Motor Cable (for MG2)

      (Inverter with Converter Assembly Side)

      Check MG2 for an interphase short using a milliohmmeter.


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

        Tech Tips

        If the 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 Switch Condition Specified Condition
        W4-1 (W) - W4-2 (U) Ignition switch off 172.5 to 190.7 mΩ
        W4-2 (U) - W4-3 (V) Ignition switch off 172.5 to 190.7 mΩ
        W4-3 (V) - W4-1 (W) Ignition switch off 172.5 to 190.7 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)

    6. 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 Switch Condition Specified Condition
