A: Go to next step 

1. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.
2. Read the freeze frame data of DTC P0AA4-232.

   Result

   Result	Proceed to
   HV battery current (IB) is less than 3 A.	A
   HV battery current (IB) is 3 A or more.	B

A → See step   5 

B: Go to next step 

1. Turn the power switch off.
2. Remove the service plug grip. Refer to PRECAUTION .

   NOTE:

   After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the power switch on (READY) unless instructed by the repair information because this may cause a malfunction.

3. Disconnect the high-voltage connector of the HV battery junction block.

   HINT: 

   For the removal and installation procedures related to inspection of the HV battery junction block. Refer to COMPONENTS .

4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard resistance

   Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
   g3-1 - z34-1	Power switch off	10 kΩ or higher

   HINT: 

   • If a system main relay is stuck closed, impacts or vibrations during the inspection may cause it to open.
   • If the result of reading the freeze frame data in the previous step was B, the HV battery junction block must be replaced. Measuring resistance can determine whether this is either a present or past malfunction.
