DTC P0A38-257: Generator Temperature Sensor Circuit Low; DTC P0A39-259: Generator Temperature Sensor Circuit High: Procedure
- CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION CONDITION (HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU CONNECTOR) See step 3
NG → CONNECT SECURELY
OK: Go to next step
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (MOTOR TEMP NO2)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List / Motor Temp No2.
- Read the Data List.
Result
Result Proceed to -58°F (-50°C) A 401°F (205°C) B Same as actual temperature C - Turn the power switch off.
C → See step 9
B → See step 5
A: Go to next step
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (CHECK FOR OPEN)
- Disconnect connector C23 from the generator temperature sensor.
- Connect terminals 4 (GMT) and 9 (GMTG) of connector C23 of the generator temperature sensor.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List / Motor Temp No2.
- Read the Data List.
OK
Tester Display Condition Specified Condition Motor Temp No2 Terminals GMT and GMTG connected.

(to Generator Temperature Sensor)HINT:
The generator temperature sensor is not available separately. If it requires replacement, replace the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly.
- Turn the power switch off.
- Connect the generator temperature sensor connector.
NG → See step 4
OK → See step 8
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU - GENERATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR)
- Disconnect connector C23 from the generator temperature sensor.
- Disconnect connector A58 from the hybrid vehicle control ECU.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.Fig 3: Identifying Terminals Open For C23 Generator Temperature Sensor & A58 Hybrid Vehicle Control ECU
