   HINT: 

   • *1: If any INF codes are output for this DTC, refer to the corresponding diagnostic procedure.
   • P0AA4-232 may be stored due to a malfunction which causes the DTCs in the preceding tables to be stored. In this case, first troubleshoot the output DTCs in the preceding tables. Then, perform a reproduction test to check that no DTCs are output.
5. Turn the power switch off.

A: Go to next step 

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 of DTC P0AA4-232.

   Batt Pack Current Val is 3 A or more.	A
   Batt Pack Current Val is less than 3 A.	B

5. Turn the power switch off.

B → See step   5 

A: Go to next step 

HINT: 

• If a system main relay is stuck closed, inspect the hybrid battery junction block assembly without removing it from the vehicle, in order to keep the relay closed.
• If the result of reading the freeze frame data is A, the hybrid battery junction block assembly must be replaced. Measuring resistance can determine that this is either a present or past malfunction.

1. Check that the service plug grip is not installed.
   NOTE:

   After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the power switch on (READY), unless instructed by the service information because this may cause a malfunction.

2. Remove the No. 1 hybrid battery shield sub-assembly. REMOVAL [08/2013 - ] - Step 10 .
3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
