Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Lexus RX 400h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- READ OUTPUT DTC (HV)
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/ MOBD / HV ECU / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
- Read output DTC. (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR
)
Result:
The DTCs shown in the table below are output
DTC DETECTION TROUBLE CONDITIONDTC No. Relevant Diagnosis P0A3F-243, P0A40-500, P0A41-245 Motor resolver circuit
YES: GO TO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
NO: GO TO NEXT STEP
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MG ECU - MOTOR RESOLVER) CAUTION: Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
- 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.
- 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.
- Prevent water in the reservoir tank from entering the inverter.
- Disconnect the I22 connector from the MG ECU.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Standard Voltage
MG ECU - MOTOR RESOLVER (VOLTAGE)Tester Connection Specified Condition MRF (I22-13) - Body ground Below 1 V MRFG (I22-23) - Body ground Below 1 V MSN (I22-21) - Body ground Below 1 V MSNG (I22-20) - Body ground Below 1 V MCS (I22-19) - Body ground Below 1 V MCSG (I22-18) - Body ground Below 1 V Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
NOTE: Turning the ignition switch to the ON position with the MG ECU connectors disconnected causes other DTCs to be stored. Clear the DTCs after performing the inspection. - Turn the ignition switch off.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Check for open)
MG ECU - MOTOR RESOLVER (CHECK FOR OPEN)Tester Connection Specified Condition MRF (I22-13) - MRFG (I22-23) 7.65 to 10.2 Ω MSN (I22-21) - MSNG (I22-20) 12.6 to 16.8 Ω MCS (I22-19) - MCSG (I22-18) 12.6 to 16.8 Ω - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Check for short)
MG ECU - MOTOR RESOLVER (CHECK FOR SHORT)Tester Connection Specified Condition MSF (I22-13) or MRFG (I22-23) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher MSN (I22-21) or MSNG (I22-20) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher MCS (I22-19) or MCSG (I22-18) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
OK: CHECK W/ CONVERTER INVERTER ASSEMBLY
NG: GO TO NEXT STEP
- Turn the ignition switch off and remove the service plug grip. (See PRECAUTION
)
- INSPECT MOTOR RESOLVER
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
MOTOR RESOLVERTester Connection Specified Condition MRF (M14-1) - MRFG (M14-4) 7.65 to 10.2 Ω MSN (M14-2) - MSNG (M14-5) 12.6 to 16.8 Ω MCS (M14-3) - MCSG (M14-6) 12.6 to 16.8 Ω - Using a megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
MOTOR RESOLVER (USING MEGOHMMETER)Tester Connection Specified Condition MRF (M14-1) - MSN (M14-2) 10 MΩ or higher MRF (M14-1) - MCS (M14-3) 10 MΩ or higher MSN (M14-2) - MCS (M14-3) 10 MΩ or higher MRFG (M14-4) - MSNG (M14-5) 10 MΩ or higher MRFG (M14-4) - MCSG (M14-6) 10 MΩ or higher MSNG (M14-5) - MCSG (M14-6) 10 MΩ or higher Each terminal listed above - Transaxle housing 10 MΩ or higher HINT:
The motor resolver is not available as a single product. If it requires replacement, replace the HV transaxle assembly.
NG: REPLACE HYBRID VEHICLE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
