Inspection Procedure

CAUTION:
  • Before inspecting the high-voltage system, take safety precautions to prevent electrical shocks, such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip. After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reconnecting it while you are servicing the high-voltage system.
  • After disconnecting the service plug grip, wait for at least 5 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals.

HINT:

At least 5 minutes are required to discharge the high-voltage condenser inside the inverter.

  1. READ OUTPUT DTC (HV ECU) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
    3. Turn the intelligent tester ON.
    4. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/MOBD / HV ECU / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
    5. Read DTCs.

      Result:

  2. READ OUTPUT DTC (HV BATTERY) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
    3. Turn the intelligent tester ON.
    4. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/MOBD / HV BATTERY / DTC INFO / TROUBLE CODES.
    5. Read DTCs.

      Result: DTCs are output 

    YES : GO TO RELEVANT  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART 

    NO : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  3. INSPECT SERVICE PLUG GRIP 
    CAUTION: Wear insulated gloves before performing the following operation.
    1. Turn the power switch OFF.
    2. Remove the service plug grip (See REMOVAL ).
      NOTE: Turning the power switch ON (READY) with the service plug grip removed could cause malfunction. Therefore, never turn the power switch ON (READY) in this state.
    3. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the service plug grip.

      Standard resistance: Below 1 Ω

    4. Reinstall the service plug grip (See INSTALLATION ).

    NG : Go to step   6 

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU - INVERTER) 
    CAUTION: Wear insulated gloves before performing the following operation.
    1. Turn the power switch OFF.
    2. Remove the service plug grip (See REMOVAL ).
      NOTE: Turning the power switch ON (READY) with the service plug grip removed could cause malfunction. Therefore, never turn the power switch ON (READY) in this state.
    3. Disconnect the H16 HV control ECU connector.
    4. Remove the inverter cover (see REMOVAL ).

    5. Disconnect the I10 inverter connector.
    6. Turn the power switch ON (IG).

      HINT:

      DTCs for the interlock switch system are output when turning the power switch ON (IG) with both service plug grip and inverter cover removed.

    7. Measure the voltage between the terminals of the HV control ECU connector and body ground.

      Standard voltage 

      TERMINALS VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      VL (H16-30) - Body ground Below 1 V
      GCNV (H16-8) - Body ground Below 1 V
    8. Turn the power switch OFF.
    9. Measure the resistance between the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard resistance (Check for open)
