DTC P0A94-587: DC / DC Converter Performance: Description

For a description of the boost converter. Refer to DESCRIPTION .

The MG ECU uses a voltage sensor (VL) that is built into the boost converter to detect the high voltage before it is boosted. The ECU also uses the battery smart unit to detect HV battery voltage (VB).

HINT: 

Using the Techstream, check the Data List of Power Resource VB and Batt Pack Current Val. If these values are not within the below range, there is a battery smart unit malfunction.
