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 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 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
If a malfunction occurs after disconnecting and connecting the motor cable, check the cable connection.
After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.
Start the vehicle from a stop and drive the vehicle until the vehicle speed reaches approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). Repeat this procedure a few times.
PROCEDURE

Check motor (MG2) for an interphase short using a milliohmmeter.
Using a milliohmmeter, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Tech Tips
If the motor (MG2) temperature is high, the resistance will vary greatly from the specification. Therefore, measure the resistance at least 8 hours after the vehicle is stopped.
| Standard Resistance | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| for LHD | ||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||
| for RHD | ||||||||||||
|
Tech Tips
To correct the variation of the measured resistance due to temperature, use the following formula to calculate the resistance at 20°C (68° F).
R20 = Rt / {1 + 0.00393 X (T - 20)}
The calculation is based on the following:
R20: Resistance at 20°C (68° F) (mΩ)
Rt: Measured resistance (mΩ)
T: Temperature when the resistance is measured (°C)
When checking for a short circuit between motor phases without using a milliohmmeter.
Note
The motor generates current when wheels are rotated by hand. Before performing the inspection, wrap the motor cable terminals with insulation tape.
Tech Tips
A short circuit between the motor phases can be checked simply without using a milliohmmeter.
Connect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Note
Turning the power switch on (IG) with the service plug grip removed causes other DTCs to be stored. Clear the DTCs after performing this inspection.
Move the shift lever to N.
Lift up the vehicle.
Rotate the rear wheels in the same direction simultaneously by hand.
| Standard |
|---|
| Left and right wheels rotate smoothly (No short circuit between phases) |
Tech Tips
If a short circuit exists between the motor phases, the rear wheels do not rotate smoothly (some resistance is felt).
Lower the vehicle.
Move the shift lever to P.
Turn the power switch off.
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
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.
