| P323B | Backup Boost Converter |
DESCRIPTION
The eco run vehicle converter assembly (backup boost converter) supplements battery voltage to help prevent it from dropping when the engine is restarted during Stop and Start system control. This is done to prevent some electrical systems, such as the audio system, from being disabled due to low power supply voltage.
The engine stop and start ECU monitors for low battery voltage according to the conditions for Stop and Start system control and starter ON/OFF signals. If the voltage drops below a threshold, the eco run vehicle converter assembly (backup boost converter) boosts battery voltage.
The input voltage present when the DON2 terminal switches from standby mode to boosting mode is set as the target voltage. If the voltage is below 13 V when switching to boosting mode, the target voltage will be set to 13 V.
If the eco run vehicle converter assembly (backup boost converter) fails to maintain a certain level of battery voltage when the engine is started due to Stop and Start system control, the error is sent to the engine stop and start ECU by duty signal. The engine stop and start ECU will then store DTC P323B.
The eco run vehicle converter assembly (backup boost converter) has a control circuit and relay for each electrical system it supplies, such as the meter and audio systems. If a malfunction occurs in a circuit connected with the eco run vehicle converter assembly (backup boost converter), the relay opens to protect the circuit (the relay remains open until the next trip).
If a relay opens, power supply to the circuit will be shut off, disabling the respective systems on that circuit.
If a malfunction occurs in the Stop and Start system, the stop and start cancel indicator light blinks (the MIL does not come on).
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P323B | Any of the following conditions is met (1 trip detection logic):
|
|
After troubleshooting, perform the following steps to recheck for DTCs, check the battery voltage, and confirm that the Stop and Start system operates normally.
Tech Tips
If the battery terminal has been disconnected, the stop and start will be prohibited. In this case, drive the vehicle for 15 to 40 minutes to permit the stop and start operation.
Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes after the engine warms up and check that the engine speed is within 50 rpm of the target idle speed.
Check if the battery has become weak.
for Manual transaxle
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Clear the DTCs Click here.
Start the engine and warm it up.
Drive the vehicle at 20 km/h (12.4 mph) or more.
Stop the vehicle, allow the engine to stop due to stop and start system control and wait for 3 seconds or more.
Depress the clutch pedal to allow the engine to restart.
Tech Tips
If the engine cranks slowly when the engine is restarted, it can be determined that battery voltage is low.
Drive the vehicle at 20 km/h (12.4 mph) or more and stop the vehicle (check that the engine stops due to stop and start system control).
With the engine stopped due to stop and start system control, wait for at least 90 seconds. Depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine and allow it to idle for 10 seconds or more.
Tech Tips
Depending on the vehicle conditions, the engine may restart in less than 90 seconds.
Check that no DTCs are output Click here.
for CVT
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Clear the DTCs Click here.
Start the engine and warm it up.
Drive the vehicle at 20 km/h (12.4 mph) or more.
Stop the vehicle, allow the engine to stop due to Stop and Start system control and wait for 3 seconds or more. (with the shift lever in D and depressed the brake pedal)
Release the brake pedal to allow the engine to restart.

Check that the engine stops.
Depress the clutch pedal and check that the engine restarts.
for CVT
Warm up the engine.
Turn the air conditioning system off.
Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4.3 mph) or more.
Stop the vehicle with the shift lever in D and depressed the brake pedal.
Check that the engine stops.
Release the brake pedal and check that the engine restarts.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (STATE OF BBC)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Check the "State of BBC" item of the freeze frame data.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| Duty Err | A |
| Cycle Err | A |
| Low Vol | B |
| Over vol | C |
Tech Tips
The details of the tester displays are shown below.
| Tester Display | Details |
|---|---|
| Duty Err | Inappropriate DON2 duty value is detected |
| Cycle Err | DON2 duty cycle deviates beyond the allowable range |
| Low Vol | A decrease in the voltage of the control IC power source within the eco run vehicle converter assembly (backup boost converter) is detected when ignition switch is turned to ON |
| Over vol | While the ignition switch is ON:
