DTC Code | DTC Name |
---|---|
P0A78-266 | Drive Motor "A" Inverter Performance |
P0A78-267 | Drive Motor "A" Inverter Performance |
DESCRIPTION
The inverter contains a three-phase bridge circuit, which consists of 6 power transistors (IGBTs) each for generator (MG1) and motor (MG2). The inverter converts high-voltage direct current from the HV battery into three-phase alternating current for generator (MG1) and motor (MG2); it also converts three-phase alternating current supplied by generator (MG1) and motor (MG2) into direct current for the HV battery.
The MG ECU controls the actuation of the power transistors (IGBTs). The inverter transmits information necessary for control, such as amperage and voltage, to the MG ECU.
Tech Tips
The term "drive motor A" indicates motor (MG2).
The MG ECU uses an inverter voltage sensor, which is built into the inverter, to detect boosted high voltage (VH) to allow control of the voltage boost.
The inverter voltage sensor outputs voltage that fluctuates between 0 to 5 V according to changes in VH. The MG ECU monitors the inverter voltage sensor and detects the following malfunctions.
DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
---|---|---|
P0A78-266 | Inverter voltage (VH) signal is stuck low Stores a DTC when the VH sensor signal is excessively low. (1 trip detection logic) |
Inverter with converter assembly |
P0A78-267 | Inverter voltage (VH) signal is stuck high Stores a DTC when the VH sensor signal is excessively high. (1 trip detection logic) |
DTC No. | Data List |
---|---|
P0A78-266 | VH-Voltage after Boosting |
P0A78-267 |
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
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 (READY) and wait for 5 seconds or more.
PROCEDURE
REPLACE INVERTER WITH CONVERTER ASSEMBLY
Tech Tips
The signal line from the inverter voltage (VH) sensor is connected to the MG ECU, which is built into the inverter with converter assembly. If P0A78-266 or P0A78-267 is output, replace the inverter with converter assembly.
