Inspection Procedure

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY TECHSTREAM (POWER METER OPERATION) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
    5. Check the operation by referring to the values in the table below.

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Power Meter Operation Power meter gauge Power meter gauge indicates 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 (kW) Confirm that the vehicle is stopped, engine idling.

      OK: Needle indication is normal. 

    NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to next step. 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BETWEEN COMBINATION METER AND HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU) 
    1. Disconnect the C9 and H29 connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
