      (Hybrid Vehicle Control ECU Assembly)
      Item Content
      Terminal A67-16 (VLO) - D135-6 (E1)
      Equipment Setting 5 V/DIV., 50 ms/DIV.
      Condition Power switch on (IG)

      OK

      The waveform appears as shown in the illustration.

      HINT: 

      • Perform this inspection with the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly connector connected.
    4. Turn the power switch off.

    NG 

    See step  7

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. CLEAR DTC 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.
    4. Clear the DTCs and freeze frame data.
    5. Turn the power switch off.

    See step  5

  5. CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HYBRID CONTROL) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (READY).
    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.
    4. Check for DTCs.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      P0A09-591 is not output. A
      P0A09-591 is output again. B
    5. Turn the power switch off.

    REPLACE HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to COMPONENTS [10/2015 - ] )

    See step  6

  6. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS 

    (Refer to CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS [10/2014 - ] )

    OK 

    REPLACE HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to COMPONENTS [10/2015 - ] )

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE MALFUNCTIONING PARTS, COMPONENT AND AREA 

  7. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RESISTANCE VALUE OF VLO INSIDE HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU ASSEMBLY) 
    WARNING:

    Be sure to wear insulated gloves.

    1. Check that the service plug grip is not installed.
      NOTE:

      After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the power switch on (READY), unless otherwise instructed because this may cause a malfunction.

    2. Disconnect the A49 inverter with converter assembly connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

    4. Reconnect the A49 inverter with converter assembly connector.

    OK 

    REPLACE INVERTER WITH CONVERTER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to COMPONENTS [10/2014 - ] )

    NG 

    See step  8

  8. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (INVERTER WITH CONVERTER ASSEMBLY - HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU ASSEMBLY) 
    WARNING:

    Be sure to wear insulated gloves.

    1. Check that the service plug grip is not installed.
      NOTE:

      After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the power switch on (READY), unless otherwise instructed because this may cause a malfunction.

    2. Disconnect the A49 inverter with converter assembly connector.
    3. Disconnect the A67 hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly connector.
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
