| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| U029A-123 | Lost Communication with Hybrid Battery Pack Sensor Module |
DESCRIPTION
The battery smart unit detects the HV battery conditions (voltage, current, and temperature) and battery cooling blower assembly voltage, and sends the detected signals to the power management control ECU via serial communication.
| DTC No. | INF Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| U029A | 123 | Problem in serial communication between the battery smart unit and power management control ECU (1 trip detection) |

WIRING DIAGRAM
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
Before inspecting the high-voltage system or disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly, turn the ignition switch off and 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.
PROCEDURE
CHECK FOR DTCS (HYBRID CONTROL)
