Power Meter Gauge Malfunction: Procedure

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

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Power Meter Operation Power meter -50 / 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 kW -

      OK

      Needle indication is normal.

    6. Check the input signal waveform.
      1. Disconnect the K31 meter connector.
      2. Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals PMET and body ground.
      3. Start the engine.
      4. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
        Item Condition
        Tool setting 5 V/DIV., 50 ms./DIV.
        Vehicle condition Turn the power switch to the ON (IG) position.

    NG → REPLACE COMBINATION METER 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK COMBINATION METER (PMT1 SIGNAL)

    1. Disconnect the K31 meter connector.
    2. Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals PMET and body ground.
    3. Start the engine.
    4. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
      Item Condition
      Tool setting 5 V/DIV., 50 msc./DIV.
      Vehicle condition Turn the power switch to the ON (IG) position.

    NG → REPLACE COMBINATION METER 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (COMBINATION METER - HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU)

    1. Disconnect the K31 meter connector.
    2. Disconnect the A54 ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      K31-27 (PMT1) - A54-78 (PMET) Below 1 Ω
      K31-27 (PMT1) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → REPLACE HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU
