DESCRIPTION
The battery temperature sensors are provided at 3 locations of the HV battery. The resistance of the thermistor, which is built into each battery temperature sensor, varies in accordance with changes in the HV battery temperature. The lower the battery temperature, the higher the thermistor resistance. Conversely, the higher the temperature, the lower the resistance. The battery voltage sensor uses the battery temperature sensors to detect the HV battery temperature, and sends the detected value to the power management control ECU. Based on the results of this detection, the power management control ECU controls the blower fan. (The blower fan starts when HV battery temperature rises above a predetermined level.)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
Before inspecting the high-voltage system, take safety precautions to prevent electrical shocks, such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip. 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
At least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.
When disposing of an HV battery, make sure to return it through an authorized collection agent who is capable of handling it safely. If the HV battery is returned via the manufacturer specified route, it will be returned properly and in a safe manner by an authorized collection agent.
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, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and wait for 10 seconds or more.
PROCEDURE
CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HYBRID CONTROL)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.
Read output DTCs.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| P0AFC-123 is not output. | A |
| P0AFC-123 is also output. | B |
Turn the power switch off.

READ VALUE USING GTS (Temp of Batt)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List
| Tester Display | Measurement Item/Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temp of Batt TB1 | Battery module temperature/ Min.: -75.0°C (-103°F), Max.: 155°C (311°F) |
Undisturbed for 1 day: Same as ambient air temperature |
|
| Temp of Batt TB2 | Battery module temperature/ Min.: -75.0°C (-103°F), Max.: 155°C (311°F) |
Undisturbed for 1 day: Same as ambient air temperature |
|
| Temp of Batt TB3 | Battery module temperature/ Min.: -75.0°C (-103°F), Max.: 155°C (311°F) |
Undisturbed for 1 day: Same as ambient air temperature |

Tech Tips
A malfunctioning sensor (battery temperature sensor 0, 1 or 2) can be determined by comparing the output temperature of the 3 battery temperature sensors.
Turn the power switch off.
