Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK CONNECTION CONDITION OF HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU CONNECTOR (LOOSENESS AND POOR CONTACT) 
    1. Check the connections of all HV control ECU connectors.

      OK: Connectors are connected securely and there is no poor connection. 

    NG: CONNECT SECURELY

    B: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (+B SHORT) 
    1. Disconnect the H32 connector from the HV control ECU.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Result: 

      DTCS RESULT DESCRIPTION

      Tester Connection Voltage Proceed to
      MMT (H32-26) - MMTG (H32-33) Approximately 0 V A
      9 to 14V B
      NOTE: Turning the ignition switch to the ON position with the HV control ECU connectors disconnected causes other DTCs to be stored. Clear the DTCs after performing the inspection.

    A: REPLACE HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU 

    B: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (+B SHORT) 
    1. Disconnect the H32 connector from the HV control ECU.
    2. Disconnect the M15 motor temperature sensor connector.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    4. Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      MMT (M15-1) or MMT (H32-26) - Body ground Approximately 0 V
      NOTE: Turning the ignition switch to the ON position with the HV control ECU connectors disconnected causes other DTCs to be stored. Clear the DTCs after performing the inspection.

      HINT:

      The motor temperature sensor is not available as a single product. If it requires replacement, replace the HV transaxle assembly.

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE HYBRID VEHICLE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY 

  5. INSPECT MOTOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
    1. Disconnect the H32 connector from the HV control ECU.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Resistance Temperature
      MMT (H32-26) - MMTG (H32-33) 142.6 k to 184.1 kΩ 0°C (32°F)
      44.2 k to 54.4 kΩ 25°C (77°F)
      16.2 k to 19.1 kΩ 50°C (122°F)
      3.3 k to 3.5 kΩ 100°C (212°F)
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      MMT (H32-26) or MMTG (H32-33) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
