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 inside the w/ converter inverter assembly.

  1. READ OUTPUT DTC (HV AND EMPS) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    3. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/ MOBD / HV ECU and EMPS / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.

      Standard: 

      DTC is output. 

    YES: GO TO  DTC CHART 

    NO: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HV CONTROL ECU - MG ECU) 
    CAUTION: Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
    1. Turn the ignition switch off and remove the service plug grip. (See HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM )
      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 H34 connector from the HV control ECU.
    3. Remove the inverter cover. (See INVERTER WITH CONVERTER )
      NOTE:
      • Wrap the interlock round terminal for the inverter cover with vinyl tape to prevent it from shorting to ground.
      • Be sure to prevent water in the reservoir tank from entering the inverter.
    4. Disconnect the I21 connector from the MG ECU.
    5. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below when the ignition switch is in the ON position.

      HINT:

      Turning the ignition switch to the ON position with the service plug grip and inverter cover removed causes interlock switch system DTC (P0A0D-350) to be output.
