Inspection Procedure

CAUTION:
  • Before inspecting the high-voltage system, take safety precautions to prevent electrical shocks, such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip. After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
  • After disconnecting the service plug grip, wait for at least 5 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals.

HINT:

At least 5 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor insid e the w/ converter inverter assembly.

  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HV CONTROL ECU - HV RELAY ASSEMBLY) 
    CAUTION: Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
    1. Turn the ignition switch off and remove the service plug grip. (See PRECAUTION )
      NOTE: Do not put the vehicle into the READY-on state with the service plug grip removed as this may cause a malfunction.
    2. Disconnect the H30 connector from the HV control ECU.
    3. Disconnect the relay connector from the HV relay assembly.
    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below when the ignition switch is in the ON position.

      HINT:

      If the ignition switch is turned to the ON position with the service plug grip removed, the DTC (P0A0D-350) for the interlock switch system will be output.

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. INSPECT HV RELAY ASSEMBLY 
    CAUTION: Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
    1. Turn the ignition switch off and remove the service plug grip. (See PRECAUTION )
      NOTE: Do not put the vehicle into the READY-on state with the service plug grip removed as this may cause a malfunction.
    2. Remove the HV relay assembly from the vehicle. (See HV RELAY ASSEMBLY )
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      HV RELAY ASSEMBLY (1 OF 2)

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      S49-1 - S45-1 Below 1 Ω (Apply auxiliary battery voltage between terminals CON3 (S48-2) and GND (S48-4))
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      HV RELAY ASSEMBLY (2 OF 2)

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      CON2 (S48-2) - GND (S48-4) 20 to 60 Ω at -35 to 80°C (-31 to -176°F)
