HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0B23-129

DTC Code DTC Name
P0B23-129 Hybrid Battery "A" Voltage

DTC SUMMARY

  1. MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

    The hybrid vehicle control ECU detects a VB sensor malfunction.

    The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:

    • Inside of battery voltage sensor VB sensor circuit malfunction

    • Battery voltage sensor malfunction

    • Communication (wire harness) malfunction

    • High voltage system malfunction

    • HV battery malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The battery voltage sensor (battery energy control module) sends HV battery voltage information to the hybrid vehicle control ECU via serial communication.

DTC No.

Warning Indicate

P0B23-129

Hybrid Battery "A" Voltage

Battery voltage sensor malfunction ("Power Resource VB" output value is abnormal):

When not boosting the difference between "Power Resource VB" and "VL-Voltage before Boosting" is large, and also "Power Resource VB" and "VH-Voltage after Boosting" is large.

Data List

P0B23-129

  • Power Resource VB

  • VL-Voltage before Boosting

  • VH-Voltage after Boosting

  • Boost Ratio

The following items can be helpful when performing repairs:

  • Data List

  • Ready Signal

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

Performing the check procedures for a long time with the shift lever in N may cause DTC P3000-388 to be set.

Tip:
  • If it is necessary to replace the battery voltage sensor, voltages need to be confirmed after installing the new battery voltage sensor. Confirm that "Power Resource VB", "VL-Voltage before Boosting", and "VH-Voltage after Boosting" in the Data List are 280 V or more with the power switch on (READY), the shift lever in P, and the engine stopped. When the system is normal, the "Power Resource VB", "VL-Voltage before Boosting", and "VH-Voltage after Boosting" values should be almost equal (voltage boosting will not occur when the shift lever is in N). If the difference between each voltage exceeds the values specified below, there is a malfunction.

    Inspection voltage

    Maximum voltage difference

    Difference between "Power Resource VB" and "VL-Voltage before Boosting"

    34 V

    Difference between "Power Resource VB" and "VH-Voltage after Boosting"

    31 V

    Difference between "VL-Voltage before Boosting" and "VH-Voltage after Boosting"

    42 V

  • After the repair, if "VL-Voltage before Boosting" and "Power Resource VB" are approximately the same when the power switch is turned on (READY) with the shift lever in P and the accelerator pedal not depressed, the condition is judged as normal.

PROCEDURE

  1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HYBRID CONTROL)

    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

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

    4. Check for DTCs.
