      Result

      Result Proceed to
      "P3000-00 or P3000-16" only is output. A
      DTCs except "P3000-00 or P3000-16" of hybrid battery system are output. B
      DTCs except "P3000-00 or P3000-16" of hybrid control system are output. C
    2. Turn the ignition switch off.

    Result: 

    GO TO DTC CHART (HYBRID BATTERY SYSTEM). Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [11/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    GO TO DTC CHART (HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM). Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [11/2021 - 03/2024]  , or refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [03/2024 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK DTC OUTPUT (ENGINE) 
    1. Check for DTCs.

      Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes

      No DTCs are output. A
      DTCs are output. B
    2. Turn the ignition switch off.

    Result: 

    GO TO DTC CHART (SFI SYSTEM). Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [11/2021 - 03/2022]  , or refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [03/2022 - 03/2023]  , or refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [03/2023 - 03/2024]  , or refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [03/2024 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK AMOUNT OF FUEL 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    2. Check the amount of fuel by referring to the fuel gauge in the meter.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Proper amount of fuel is in the tank. A
      There is no fuel in the tank. B

      HINT: 

      Add fuel until the low fuel level warning light turns off.

    3. Turn the ignition switch off.

    Result: 

    REFUEL VEHICLE 

    Result: 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK FREEZE FRAME DATA (SHIFT POSITION) 
    1. Read the freeze frame data item "Shift Position" of DTC P3000-00.

      Powertrain > HV Battery > Trouble Codes 

      Powertrain > HV Battery 

      Tester Display
      Shift Position
      NOTE:
      • When the freeze frame data "Shift Position" was N, DTC P3000-00 may be stored due to the vehicle was left with the shift lever in N and the HV battery could not be charged.
      • If DTC "P3000-00" only is output, charge the HV battery without replacing the HV battery if necessary.
    2. Turn the ignition switch off.

      Result

      Proceed to
      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK ENGINE START 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY).
    2. Check if the engine starts.

      HINT: 

      • Depressing the accelerator pedal with the shift lever in P will cause the engine to start.
      • Turning the ignition switch to ON (READY) and off repeatedly while the SOC is low may cause the SOC to drop further, resulting in DTC P3000-16 being stored. Charge the HV battery using the THS charger as necessary.
      • Cranking the engine once causes the SOC to drop approximately 1%.
      • Charging the HV battery once (10 minutes) using the THS charger restores the SOC approximately 2%.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      The engine starts. A
      The engine does not start. B
    3. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch off.

    Result: 

    LEAVE VEHICLE WITH THE SHIFT LEVER IN P, AND CHARGE HV BATTERY BY IDLING UNTIL IDLING STOPS 

    Result: 

    See step  6

  6. CLEAR DTC (HV BATTERY) 
    1. Clear the DTCs and freeze frame data.

      Powertrain > HV Battery > Clear DTCs 

    2. Perform a road test.

      Result

      Proceed to
      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    CHARGE HV BATTERY 

    Refer to CHARGING [11/2021 - ]
