DTC P0ABF-28: Hybrid/EV Battery Current Sensor "A" Signal Bias Level Out of Range / Zero Adjustment Failure [10/2022 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus RX 350h, 2024 Lexus RX 350h, and 2023 Lexus RX 350h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HYBRID CONTROL) 

    Pre-procedure1

    • None.
    • Check for DTCs.

      Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Trouble Codes 

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      P0AFC-00, P0AFC-96 or P0A95-63 is not output A
      P0AFC-00, P0AFC-96 or P0A95-63 is output B

    Post-procedure1

    • Turn the ignition switch off.

    Result: 

    B 

    GO TO DTC CHART (HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM). Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [10/2022 - 10/2024]  , or Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [10/2024 - ] 

    Result: 

    A 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY VOLTAGE SENSOR - NO. 1 TRACTION BATTERY DEVICE BOX ASSEMBLY) 

    HINT: 

    See step  3

    Result

    Proceed to
    OK
    NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE HV BATTERY (WIRE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR). Refer to  REMOVAL [10/2022 - ] 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK NO. 1 TRACTION BATTERY DEVICE BOX ASSEMBLY (HV BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR (IB)) 
    WARNING:

    Be sure to wear insulated gloves.

    Pre-procedure1

    • Check that the service plug grip is not installed.
      NOTE:

      After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the ignition switch to ON (READY), unless instructed by the appropriate service information because this may cause a malfunction.

    • Connect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
    • Using a Toyota electrical tester set to 40 V, measure the VIB voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      z35-10 (VIB) - z35-22 (GIB) Ignition switch ON
      NOTE:
      • Turning the ignition switch to ON with the service plug grip removed causes other DTCs to be stored. Clear the DTCs after performing this inspection.
      • Be sure to set the Toyota electrical tester to 40 V when performing this test.
    • Using a Toyota electrical tester set to 4 V, measure the IB0 voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      z35-9 (IB0) - z35-22 (GIB) Ignition switch ON
      NOTE:

      Be sure to set the Toyota electrical tester to 4 V when performing this test.

    • Compare the measured values of the IB0 terminal voltage and VIB terminal voltage using the following formula:
      IB0 voltage - VIB Voltage / 2 = less than 0.081 V
      IB0 voltage - VIB Voltage / 2 = -0.081 V or higher

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Within the specified range above A
      Other than above B

    Post-procedure1

    • Turn the ignition switch off.
    • Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.

      HINT: 

      When the ignition switch is ON, the actual current will be approximately 0 A. The following graph shows the relation between the actual output voltage of the battery current sensor terminal IB0 and the actual current used for DTC judgment.

    See step  6

  6. RECONFIRM DTC OUTPUT (HYBRID CONTROL) 

    Pre-procedure1

    • Drive the vehicle on urban roads for approximately 10 minutes.
    • Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
    • Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for 10 seconds or more.
    • Read output DTCs.
