DTC P0BCE-313: Generator Inverter Temperature Sensor Circuit Low; DTC P0BCF-312: Generator Inverter Temperature Sensor Circuit High [08/2013 - ]: Description
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.
- The MG ECU located in the inverter with converter assembly detects the temperature of the generator inverter using the temperature sensor built into the inverter with converter assembly. The inverter cooling system operates independently of the engine cooling system. The MG ECU uses signals from the generator inverter temperature sensor to check the effectiveness of the inverter cooling system. If necessary, the MG ECU will limit inverter output to help prevent inverter overheating. The ECU also detects malfunctions in the generator inverter temperature sensor and its wiring.
