HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0A78-286

DTC Code DTC Name
P0A78-286 Drive Motor "A" Inverter Performance

DESCRIPTION

For a description of the inverter Click here.

If the motor inverter overheats, has a circuit malfunction, or has an internal short, the inverter transmits this information to the MG ECU via the motor inverter fail signal line.

Tech Tips

The term "drive motor A" indicates MG2.

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.

  • After troubleshooting and repairing all output DTCs, be sure to replace the inverter with converter assembly. (Because the inverter with converter assembly may have been broken or damaged due to circuit malfunction.)

  7. CHECK HV COOLANT (CHECK FOR CONDITIONS THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED FREEZING)

    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.

    4. Read the freeze frame data Ambient Temperature using the Techstream.

    5. 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 HV water pump, 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.

    6. Turn the power switch off.

        (Inverter with Converter Assembly Side)

        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)

      1. Using a milliohmmeter, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Tech Tips

        If the 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.

        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)

    5. Using a megohmmeter set to 500 V, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    3. Using a megohmmeter set to 500 V, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      A011YPEE01

      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.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      n1-1 (W) - Body ground and shield ground Power switch off 100 MΩ or higher
      n1-2 (V) - Body ground and shield ground Power switch off 100 MΩ or higher
      n1-3 (U) - Body ground and shield ground Power switch off 100 MΩ or higher

      (Hybrid Vehicle Transaxle Assembly Side)

      Note

      Wrap the terminal of the motor cable with insulating tape to prevent them from coming into contact with body ground

    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      n1-1 (W) - n2-3 (W) Power switch off Below 1 Ω
      n1-2 (V) - n2-2 (V) Power switch off Below 1 Ω
      n1-3 (U) - n2-1 (U) Power switch off Below 1 Ω
      n1-1 (W) - n2-1 (U) Power switch off 100 MΩ or higher
      n1-2 (V) - n2-3 (W) Power switch off 100 MΩ or higher
      n1-3 (U) - n2-2 (V) Power switch off 100 MΩ or higher

    5. Install the motor cable.
