Diagnosis Procedure
Since hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles contain a high voltage battery, there is the risk of electric shock, electric leakage, or similar accidents if the high voltage component and vehicle are handled incorrectly. Be sure to follow the correct work procedures when performing inspection and maintenance.
- Be sure to remove the service plug in order to disconnect the high voltage circuits before performing inspection or maintenance of high voltage system harnesses and parts.
- The removed service plug must always be carried in a pocket of the responsible worker or placed in the tool box during the procedure to prevent the plug from being connected by mistake.
- Be sure to wear insulating protective equipment before beginning work on the high voltage system.
- Never allow workers other than the responsible person to touch the vehicle containing high voltage parts. To keep others from touching the high voltage parts, these parts must be covered with an insulating sheet except when using them.
- Refer to HIGH VOLTAGE PRECAUTIONS .
Never bring the vehicle into the READY status with the service plug removed unless otherwise instructed in the Service Information. A malfunction may occur if this is not observed.
- PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
WITH CONSULT
- Select "Self Diagnostic Result" mode of "HV BAT" using CONSULT.
- Check if the "P0A9E" or "P0AC8" is detected in "Self Diagnostic Result" of "HV BAT".
Is DTC detected?
YES
Perform diagnosis procedure of applicable system.
NO
GO TO STEP 2 .
- CHECK LI-ION BATTERY COOLING PATH FOR CLOGGING
Check the cooling path of the Li-ion battery for clogging (e.g. air suction opening, duct).
Is the inspection result normal?
YES
GO TO STEP 3 .
NO
Remove obstacles or replace clogged part.
- PRECONDITIONINGWARNING:
Follow the instructions below before starting the procedure.
- Disconnect high voltage circuit. Refer to HOW TO DISCONNECT HIGH VOLTAGE .
- Check voltage in high voltage circuit. Refer to CHECK VOLTAGE IN HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT .
GO TO STEP 4 .
- CHECK BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR
- Remove Li-ion battery. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Check battery temperature sensor 1. Refer to COMPONENT INSPECTION .
- Check battery temperature sensor 2. Refer to COMPONENT INSPECTION .
Is the inspection result normal?
YES
Replace Li-ion battery controller. Refer to DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY .
NO
Replace battery temperature sensor 1 or 2. Refer to EXPLODED VIEW WITH TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
