HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0A08-264

DTC Code DTC Name
P0A08-264 DC / DC Converter Status Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The DC/DC converter converts the DC 201.6 V of the HV battery into DC 12 V in order to supply power to areas such as the vehicle's lighting, audio, and ECU systems. In addition, it charges the auxiliary battery. A transistor bridge circuit initially converts DC 201.6 V into alternating current, and a transformer lowers the voltage. Then, it is rectified and smoothed (into direct current) and converted into DC 12 V. The DC/DC converter controls the output voltage in order to keep a constant voltage at the terminals of the auxiliary battery.

The power management control ECU sends a signal to the DC/DC converter to prohibit its control and receives signals indicating a normal or abnormal condition of the 12 V charging system via the NODD signal line.

If the DC/DC converter malfunctions, the vehicle will become inoperative. Therefore, the power management control ECU monitors the operation of the DC/DC converter and detects malfunctions.

  • +B

  • Inverter Coolant Water Temperature

  • Short Wave Highest Val

If the inverter is overheating, control may be suspended for self-protection of the DC/DC converter and this DTC may be stored.

Tech Tips


  • When the NODD signal line is short to ground, DC/DC converter control is prohibited and the auxiliary battery voltage will be approximately 12 V (or less).

  • Regarding NODD signal circuit, when the transistor of the power management control ECU turns on, a signal is sent to the inverter to prohibit DC/DC converter control. Sends a malfunction signal to the power management control ECU when the inverter side transistor is on.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

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 disconnecting 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.

    Tech Tips

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

Tech Tips


  • After repair, clear the DTCs, turn the power switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more and perform the following procedure to confirm that the auxiliary battery low voltage indicated by this DTC has been repaired.


    1. Wait for 2 minutes with the park (P) selected, the power switch on (READY) and the following conditions met, then confirm that Data List item "+B" is between 13.0 and 15.0 V.

      (If charging is not performed and the electrical load increases, +B voltage may not be steady and gradually drops.)


      1. Headlight switch is in the HI position.

      2. A/C blower fan switch is in the HI position.

      3. Window defogger switch is turned on.


  • By performing the following procedure, the DC/DC converter function can be checked.


    1. Connect the AC/DC 400 A probe to the positive auxiliary battery cable.


      1. Turn the power switch on (READY) and leave the vehicle as it is until the electric current flowing into the auxiliary battery becomes 10 A or less.

      2. Turn the power switch on (READY) and the headlight switch and A/C blower fan switch in the HI position, and the window defogger turned on.

      3. Confirm that the current drawn from the auxiliary battery is 0 A or lower and the auxiliary battery voltage is between 13.0 and 15.0 V.


  • This DTC is stored when the power switch is on (READY) and the auxiliary battery voltage is 11 V or less. Therefore, this DTC may be also stored when a part other than the DC/DC converter is malfunctioning or depending on user operation.

    Malfunction cases to store DTC P0A08-264
    Malfunction Case Remarks Inspection Step
    Fuse is blown. (IGCT NO. 2, DCDC-S, IGCT) - 2
    The connector between the auxiliary battery and DC/DC converter is not connected securely. - 24, 26
    High-voltage insulation between the inverter, generator (MG1), motor (MG2) and body ground is poor (body ground). DTC P0AA6 may be stored if the ground potential fluctuates due to a high-voltage insulation malfunction. 1
    A signal connector of the power management control ECU or inverter is not connected securely. - 4, 5
    The DC/DC converter is malfunctioning. Inspect the DC/DC converter function. 11
    Control is suspended due to overheating. (The inverter water pump assembly is malfunctioning, the coolant is not sufficient, a hose is clogged, etc.)

    When the inverter is overheating, the DC/DC converter has self protection control that suspends the DC/DC converter control. As that time, this DTC may be stored.

    The suspended DC/DC converter control will return to normal by clearing the DTCs and turning the power switch off.

    12 to 15, 19

  • If this vehicle is used to jump start another vehicle with a discharged battery, a fuse may blow due to overcurrent or the DC/DC converter self-protection may be activated. Also, if this vehicle is jump started by a vehicle with a 24 V battery, the same malfunction may occur and this DTC may be stored. (The suspended DC/DC converter control will return to normal by clearing the DTCs and turning the power switch off.)


  • If the DC/DC converter is malfunctioning, the auxiliary battery cannot be charged. Therefore, once the power switch is turned off, it may be impossible to turn it on (READY) again if the auxiliary battery is completely discharged. In this case, charge the auxiliary battery. Be careful as charging is not performed during the inspection.

  • If the power switch turns off immediately after it is turned on (READY), the auxiliary battery voltage may be low. Charge the auxiliary battery.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Read the freeze frame data Ambient Temperature using the intelligent tester.

    4. Check if the freeze frame data Ambient Temperature is below freezing.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Ambient Temperature value is above freezing temperature of the HV coolant A
      Ambient Temperature value is below freezing temperature of the HV coolant B

      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 water pump 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.

  22. CHECK HYBRID VEHICLE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY (MOTOR CABLE CONNECTION CONDITION)

    CAUTION:

    Be sure to wear insulated gloves.


    1. Check that the service plug grip is not installed.

      Note

      After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the power switch on (READY), unless instructed by the repair manual because this may cause a malfunction.

    2. A01J8KC

      Check that the bolts for the motor cable are tightened to the specified torque, the motor cable is connected securely, and there are no contact problems.

      Specified Condition
      T=10 N*m {102 kgf*cm, 7 ft.*lbf}

      Note

      Make sure that the tightening torque of the bolts is between 8 and 12 N*m (82 and 122 kgf*cm, 71 and 106 in.*lbf).

    3. Disconnect the motor cable from the hybrid transaxle assembly.

    4. Check for arc marks at the bolts for the motor cable.

      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.

      e1-1 (W) - Body ground and shield ground Power switch off 100 MΩ or higher

      Note

      Wrap the terminal of the three-phase AC cable with insulating tape to prevent them from coming into contact with body ground
