The inverter converts the high-voltage direct current of the HV battery into alternating current for the generator (MG1) and motor (MG2). The inverter generates heat during the conversion process. Therefore, the inverter is cooled by a special cooling system consisting of the inverter water pump assembly, the cooling fan, and a radiator. This cooling system is independent of the engine cooling system. The hybrid vehicle control ECU monitors the inverter water pump assembly, cooling fan and cooling system, and detects malfunctions.
