See step 7
- READ VALUE USING GTS (DATA LIST)
Pre-procedure1
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) and wait for 1 minute with the engine stopped.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List / Generator Inverter Temperature, Motor Inverter Temperature, Rear Motor Inverter Temperature, Boosting Converter Temperature (Upper), Boosting Converter Temperature (Lower) and Inverter Coolant Water Temperature.
Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Data List
Tester Display Generator Inverter Temperature Motor Inverter Temperature Rear Motor Inverter Temperature Boosting Converter Temperature (Upper) Boosting Converter Temperature (Lower) Inverter Coolant Water Temperature - Read the Data List with the engine stopped.
Result
Result Proceed to Other than below. A "Inverter Coolant Water Temperature" value is higher than the displayed temperature of any other Data List item by 20°C (68°F) or more. B HINT:
The lower limit temperature that can be displayed for "Generator Inverter Temperature", "Motor Inverter Temperature", "Boosting Converter Temperature (Upper)" and "Boosting Converter Temperature (Lower)" is 0°C (32°F). The lower limit temperature for "Inverter Coolant Water Temperature" is -40°C (-40°F). The "Inverter Coolant Water Temperature" value displayed on the GTS may be lower than the others, but this is not a malfunction.
Post-procedure1
- Turn the ignition switch off.
Result:
B
REPLACE HYBRID MOTOR CONTROL INVERTER ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [10/2022 - ]

See step 8
- CHECK HV COOLANT (CHECK FOR CONDITIONS THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED FREEZING)
Pre-procedure1
- Read the freeze frame data item "Ambient Temperature" using the GTS.
Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Trouble Codes
- Check if the freeze frame data item "Ambient Temperature" is below the freezing temperature of the HV coolant.
Result
Result Proceed to Ambient Temperature value is above freezing temperature of the HV coolant. A Ambient Temperature value is below freezing temperature of the HV coolant. B HINT:
- HV coolant (SLLC) with a 30% concentration freezes at -15°C (5°F) and HV coolant (SLLC) with a 50% concentration freezes at -35°C (-31°F).
- If the HV coolant freezes in the HV radiator or inverter water pump, the coolant temperature in the hybrid motor control inverter assembly rises because the HV coolant cannot circulate. As a result, a DTC may be stored.
- A DTC is stored when the inverter water pump impeller cannot rotate due to freezing of the HV coolant.
- If DTCs are output due to freezing of the LLC, the problem symptom cannot be reproduced. Check the LLC replacement history and whether the LLC was frozen based on the ambient temperature when the DTCs were stored.
Post-procedure1
- Turn the ignition switch off.
Result:
A
