PLUG-IN CHARGE CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0D20-422

DTC Code DTC Name
P0D20-422 Charger Relay Stuck Open

DESCRIPTION

The charge relays are located in the hybrid battery junction block assembly inside the HV battery pack. The charge relays operate according to the command from the plugin charge control ECU assembly to connect or interrupt the high-voltage circuits between the electric vehicle charger assembly and HV battery.

When the power switch is on (READY), the circuits to the HV battery are interrupted to prevent electricity leakage from the high-voltage circuits, electrical shock and fire in case of a collision.

During plug-in charging, the SMRs are closed in the order of SMRB ON, SMRP ON, SMRG ON and SMRP OFF, then the charge relays (CHRB and CHRG) are closed.

When plug-in charging is canceled, the SMRs and charge relays are opened in this order.

This DTC is also stored if a short or open occurs in the high-voltage circuit (between the HV battery and electric vehicle charger assembly).

DTC No. INF Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0D20 422 VCHG sensor (electric vehicle charger assembly output voltage sensor) voltage is too low when plug-in charging is started even though the charge relays (CHRB and CHRG) are closed.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:


  • Before inspecting the high-voltage system or disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly or electric vehicle charger assembly, turn the power switch off. Also, 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 and electric vehicle charger assembly.

Note

After turning the power 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, plug-in charge the vehicle for at least 1 minute and check that the DTC is not output.
