NOTE:
- Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.
for THS-HEV Model: Refer to VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (RoB) [10/2022 - 10/2024] , or refer to VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (RoB) [10/2024 - ]
for PHEV Model: Refer to VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (RoB) [08/2023 - ]
(Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)
- If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.
for THS-HEV Model: Refer to VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (RoB) [10/2022 - 10/2024] , or refer to VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (RoB) [10/2024 - ]

HINT:
- Performing this diagnosis procedure repeatedly for symptom confirmation may cause the SOC to drop, preventing the system from entering the READY-on state. In this case, use the THS charger to charge the HV battery.
- 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%.
- Charging the HV battery using the THS charger takes approximately 10 minutes when the HV battery temperature is 25°C (77°F) or approximately 30 minutes when the HV battery temperature is 0°C (32°F).
- The THS charger is a supplemental charging device that charges the HV battery enough to enable the engine to start (the vehicle can enter the READY-on state).
