WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION CONDITION (POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROL ECU CONNECTOR) See step 3
NG → CONNECT SECURELY
OK: Go to next step
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (AUXILIARY BATT TEMPERATURE)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List / Auxiliary Batt Temperature.
- Read the Data List.
Result
Result Proceed to -40°C (-40°F) A 215°C (419°F) B Same as actual temperature C - Turn the power switch off.
B → See step 5
C → See step 7
A: Go to next step
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (CHECK FOR OPEN)
- Disconnect the Q18 thermistor assembly connector.
- Connect terminals 2 (THB) and 1 (E2) of vehicle side connector Q18 of the thermistor assembly.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List / Auxiliary Batt Temperature.
- Read the Data List.
Result
Tester Display Condition Specified Condition Auxiliary Batt Temperature Terminals THB and E2 connected.
Power switch on (IG)215°C (419°F) TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Thermistor Assembly) - Turn the power switch off.
- Reconnect the Q18 thermistor assembly connector.
NG → See step 4
OK → REPLACE THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the Q18 thermistor assembly connector.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROL ECU - THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY)
- Connect terminals 28 (THB) and 30 (ETHB) of connector H1 of the power management control ECU.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List / Auxiliary Batt Temperature.
- Read the Data List.
Result
Tester Display Condition Specified Condition Auxiliary Batt Temperature Terminals THB and ETHB connected.
Power switch on (IG)215°C (419°F) TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component with harness connected
(Power Management Control ECU) - Turn the power switch off.
NG → See step 8
OK → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
- Connect terminals 28 (THB) and 30 (ETHB) of connector H1 of the power management control ECU.
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (CHECK FOR SHORT)
- Disconnect the Q18 thermistor assembly connector.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List / Auxiliary Batt Temperature.
- Read the Data List.
Result
Tester Display Condition Specified Condition Auxiliary Batt Temperature Power switch on (IG) -40°C (-40°F) - Turn the power switch off.
- Reconnect the Q18 thermistor assembly connector.
NG → See step 6
OK → REPLACE THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the Q18 thermistor assembly connector.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY - POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROL ECU)
- Disconnect the Q18 thermistor assembly connector.
- Disconnect the H1 power management control ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Q18-2 (THB) - H1-28 (THB) Power switch off Below 1 Ω Q18-1 (E2) - H1-30 (ETHB) Power switch off Below 1 Ω Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Q18-2 (THB) or H1-28 (THB)- Body ground and other terminals Power switch off 10 kΩ or higher Q18-1 (E2) or H1-30 (ETHB)- Body ground and other terminals Power switch off 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Thermistor Assembly)*b Rear view of wire harness connector
(to Power Management Control ECU) - Reconnect the Q18 thermistor assembly connector.
- Reconnect the H1 power management control ECU connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 8
- CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. Refer to CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS [08/2013 - ]
- REPLACE POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROL ECU. Refer to COMPONENTS [08/2013 - ]
