HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0C76-523

DTC Code DTC Name
P0C76-523 Hybrid Battery System Discharge Time Too Long

DESCRIPTION

Refer to the description for DTC P0D2F-266 Click here.

DTC No. INF Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0C76 523

The inverter voltage (VH) does not drop during discharge.

(Discharge: Offsetting of the residual voltage pressure in the high-voltage side after ignition switch is turned off)

(1 trip detection logic)

  • Inverter with converter assembly

  • Wire harness or connector

  • Hybrid vehicle control ECU

Tech Tips

When the ignition switch is turned off from ON (READY), the MG ECU applies current to motor (MG2) in a way that does not generate torque, in order to discharge the residual voltage in the inverter. When the hybrid system is normal, the VH value is almost 0 V after discharge. This DTC will be stored if the VH value is more than the specified value after discharge.

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

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


  1. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more.

  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) and wait for 30 seconds or more.

  3. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more.

      Tech Tips


      • *1: If any INF codes are output for this DTC, refer to the corresponding diagnostic procedure.

      • P0C76-523 may be output due to a malfunction which causes the DTCs in the table above to be output. In this case, first troubleshoot the output DTCs in the table above. Then, perform a reproduction test to check that no DTCs are output.

    5. Turn the ignition switch off.
