DTC P0A09-591: DC / DC Converter Status Circuit Low Input [12/2014 - ]: Description

The DC/DC converter varies output voltage based on voltage change signals (VLO signal line) received from the hybrid vehicle control ECU.

If the vehicle is being driven with an inoperative DC/DC converter, the voltage of the auxiliary battery will drop, which will prevent the continued operation of the vehicle. Therefore, the hybrid vehicle control ECU monitors the operation of the DC/DC converter and alerts the driver if it detects a malfunction.
