  3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (HYBRID/EV BATTERY REFRIGERANT COOLING CONTROL) 

    Pre-procedure1

    1. Perform the "Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Cooling Control" Active Test for 20 minutes.

      Powertrain > HV Battery > Active Test 

      Active Test Display
      Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Cooling Control
      Data List Display
      Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Temperature (Duct Inlet 1)
      Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Temperature (Duct Outlet 1)
      Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Temperature (Duct Inlet 2)
      Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Temperature (Duct Outlet 2)

      HINT: 

      • In order to perform "Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Cooling Control", the HV battery minimum temperature must be 20°C (68°F) and the refrigerant temperature must be 20°C (68°F) or higher.

        If the above conditions are not established, perform the "Hybrid/EV Battery Heater Relay" Active Test in an environment with an ambient temperature of 5°C (41°F) or higher and increase the HV battery temperature.

        The temperature will drop after the heater is stopped, so increase the values of "Hybrid/EV Battery Temperature 1 to 20, Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Temperature (Duct Outlet 1), Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Temperature (Duct Outlet 2)" in the Data List to 21°C (70°F) or higher.

        (At an ambient temperature of 5°C (41°F), "Hybrid/EV Battery Heater Relay" will need to be performed for approximately 10 hours.)

      • Perform this step with the A/C blower switch off.
    2. Read and record the values of "Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Temperature (Duct Inlet 1), Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Temperature (Duct Outlet 1), Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Temperature (Duct Inlet 2) and Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Temperature (Duct Outlet 2)" in the Data List after 5 minutes have elapsed after the "Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Cooling Control" Active Test starts.
    3. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 1 minute or more.
    4. Perform the "Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Cooling Control" Active Test for 20 minutes.

      Powertrain > HV Battery > Active Test

      HINT: 

      • In order to perform "Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Cooling Control", the HV battery minimum temperature must be 20°C (68°F) and the refrigerant temperature must be 20°C (68°F) or higher.

        If the above conditions are not established, perform the "Hybrid/EV Battery Heater Relay" Active Test in an environment with an ambient temperature of 5°C (41°F) or higher and increase the HV battery temperature.

        The temperature will drop after the heater is stopped, so increase the values of "Hybrid/EV Battery Temperature 1 to 20, Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Temperature (Duct Outlet 1), Hybrid/EV Battery Refrigerant Temperature (Duct Outlet 2)" in the Data List to 21°C (70°F) or higher.

        (At an ambient temperature of 5°C (41°F), "Hybrid/EV Battery Heater Relay" will need to be performed for approximately 10 hours.)

      • Perform this step with the A/C blower switch off.
