Powertrain > Engine > Active Test
Active Test Display Control the Intercooler Water Pump Data List Display Intercooler Water Pump Speed Result
GTS Operation Intercooler Water Pump Speed 85% 3000 to 9500 rpm HINT:
- Perform the Active Test with the inverter coolant temperature between -15 and 65°C (5 to 149°F).
- When the inverter water pump assembly (with motor) is not operating, the Data List item "Intercooler Water Pump Speed" displays a value 200 rpm or less.
Result
Proceed to OK NG
Post-procedure1
- Turn the ignition switch off.
Result:
NG
See step 8
Result:
OK
See step 6
- READ VALUE USING GTS (DATA LIST)
Pre-procedure1
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) and wait for 1 minute with the engine stopped.
- Read the Data List with the engine stopped.
Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Data List
Tester Display Motor Inverter Temperature Rear Motor Inverter Temperature Inverter Coolant Water Temperature 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 "Motor Inverter Temperature, Rear Motor Inverter Temperature" 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

Result:
B
REPLACE HYBRID MOTOR CONTROL INVERTER ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [09/2023 - ]
Result:

See step 7
- 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 radiator or water pump, the coolant temperature in the inverter 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

*: The transistor inside the ECM performs duty control according to the Active Test being operated. The resistance of the IWPO terminal changes while the Active Test is on due to duty control. If the resistance is stable while the Active Test is off and changes while the Active Test is on, the transistor is working correctly. If the transistor does not operate when the Active Test is on, there may be a malfunction in the ECM.
