      No deformation or corrosion.

    • Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Result
      H37-3 (+B) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V V

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Post-procedure1

    • None

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (BATTERY STATE SENSOR ASSEMBLY - AUXILIARY BATTERY) 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU - BATTERY STATE SENSOR ASSEMBLY) 

    HINT: 

    Refer to the electronic circuit inspection procedure.

    Refer to ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE [10/2022 - ]

    Pre-procedure1

    • Disconnect the A21 hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.
    • Disconnect the H37 battery state sensor assembly connector.
    • Disconnect the B35 compressor with motor assembly connector.
