Caution / Notice / Hint
WARNING:
- Before the following operations are conducted, take precautions to prevent electric shock by turning the power switch off, wearing insulated gloves, and removing the service plug grip from HV battery.
- Inspecting the high-voltage system
- Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly and rear hybrid motor control inverter assembly*
- Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the HV battery
- *: for AWD
- To prevent electric shock, make sure to remove the service plug grip to cut off the high voltage circuit before servicing the vehicle.
- After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
- After removing the service plug grip, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals.
*a Without waiting for 10 minutes HINT:
- Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly rear hybrid motor control inverter assembly*.
- *: for AWD
- Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly rear hybrid motor control inverter assembly*.
WARNING:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
NOTE:
- Because the order of diagnosis is important to allow correct diagnosis, make sure to begin troubleshooting using How to Proceed with Troubleshooting when CAN communication system related DTCs are output.
- Before measuring the resistance of the CAN bus, turn the power switch off and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more without operating the key or any switches, or opening or closing the doors. After that, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more before measuring the resistance.
- After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.
Refer to INITIALIZATION [10/2018 - 07/2022] , or refer to INITIALIZATION [07/2022 - ]
- After performing repairs, perform the DTC check procedure and confirm that the DTCs are not output again.
DTC check procedure: Turn the power switch on (IG) and wait for 1 minute or more. Then operate the suspected malfunctioning system and drive the vehicle at 60 km/h (37 mph) or more for 5 minutes or more.
- After the repair, perform the CAN bus check and check that all the ECUs and sensors connected to the CAN communication system are displayed as normal.
Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [10/2018 - 10/2019] , or refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [10/2019 - 08/2021] , or refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [08/2021 - 07/2022] , or refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [07/2022 - ]
- Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
HINT:
- Before disconnecting related connectors for inspection, push in on each connector body to check that the connector is not loose or disconnected.
- When a connector is disconnected, check that the terminals and connector body are not cracked, deformed or corroded.
