See the description of the boost converter (see DTC P0A94-442 DC / DC CONVERTER PERFORMANCE  ).

The HV control ECU uses a voltage sensor, which has been built into the boost converter, to detect the high voltage before it is boosted and for boost control.

The boost converter voltage sensor outputs a voltage that varies between 0 and 5 V in accordance with the changes in the high voltage. The higher the high voltage, the higher the output voltage, and the lower the high voltage, the lower the output voltage.

The HV control ECU monitors a signal line of the boost converter voltage sensor and detects a malfunction.
