DESCRIPTION
The HV battery uses nickel metal-hydride batteries and does not require external charging. The power management control ECU controls the SOC (state of charge) of the HV battery at a constant level during driving. The HV battery is composed of 34 modules, and each module consists of six 1.2 V cells in series. The battery smart unit monitors battery block voltage at 17 locations. Each battery block is composed of 2 modules in a set.
| DTC No. | INF Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| P0A80 | 123 | Difference in voltage between battery blocks is larger than the standard (2 trip detection) |
|
Tech Tips
P0A80-123 will not be set unless the vehicle is driven for approximately 10 minutes after clearing the DTC.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The battery smart unit, which monitors the voltage of the battery blocks, determines that malfunction has occurred if a voltage difference between the battery blocks exceeds the standard. When the malfunction detection condition is satisfied, the power management control ECU will illuminates the MIL and set a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the power switch off.
Turn the power switch on (READY) and turn the Techstream on.
Perform a universal trip.
With the select lever in N, leave the vehicle until SOC drops to 30 %.
Tech Tips
Although DTC P3000 (INF 388) may be stored if the SOC drops to 20 % or lower, this is not a malfunction.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.
Check that permanent DTCs are cleared.
Tech Tips
If the permanent DTC is not cleared, repeat steps 6 and 7.
If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
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.
PROCEDURE
CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HYBRID CONTROL)
Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

CHECK BATTERY SMART UNIT
Ensure the safety of the areas in front and at the back of the vehicle.
Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (READY).
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List / Battery block Vol - V01 to V17.
Fully warm up the engine and turn the air conditioning off.
Firmly depress the brake pedal with your left foot.
Move the select lever to D.
Record each battery block voltage from the data list (Battery block Vol -V01 to V17) while fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
Compare the battery block voltages (Battery block Vol -V01 to V17) between the even and odd number groups in each combination shown in the table below.
| Odd Number Group | Even Number Group | Battery Block Voltages to be Compared |
|---|---|---|
| Battery block Vol - V01 | Battery block Vol - V02 | V01 - V02 |
| Battery block Vol - V03 | Battery block Vol - V04 | V03 - V04 |
| Battery block Vol - V05 | Battery block Vol - V06 | V05 - V06 |
| Battery block Vol - V07 | Battery block Vol - V08 | V07 - V08 |
| Battery block Vol - V09 | Battery block Vol - V10 | V09 - V10 |
| Battery block Vol - V11 | Battery block Vol - V12 | V11 - V12 |
| Battery block Vol - V13 | Battery block Vol - V14 | V13 - V14 |
| Battery block Vol - V15 | Battery block Vol - V16 | V15 - V16 |
| Battery block Vol - V17 | Battery block Vol - V14 | V17 - V14 |
Check the difference between each pair of battery block voltages.

Tech Tips
When an internal malfunction occurs in the battery smart unit, this symptom (difference in voltage of 0.3 V or more for all 9 pairs of blocks) will occur.
Turn the power switch off.
Disconnect the Techstream from the DLC3.
