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).
• After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) with the shift lever in P and decrease the SOC. While the battery is being discharged, check that the engine starts to charge the battery, and "State of Charge (All Bat)" increases and remains in the appropriate range.
