Inspection Procedure

HINT: 

• If the vehicle is stopped or parked with the shift lever in the N position for a long time, DTC P3000-388 may be set because the HV battery cannot be charged.
• When the engine cannot be started, DTC P3000-388 may be set because the HV battery cannot be charged.
• Repeated engine start checks may cause the SOC to drop, resulting in DTC P3000-388 being set. In this case, charge the HV battery using the THS charger.
• Cranking the engine once causes the SOC to drop approximately 1%.
• Charging the HV battery once (10 minutes) using the THS charger restores the SOC approximately 2%.
• Charging the HV battery using the THS charger takes approximately 10 minutes when the battery temperature is 25°C (77°F) or approximately 30 minutes when the battery temperature is 0°C (32°F).
• The THS charger is a supplemental charging device that enables the engine to start (READY-on state).
