DTC P0C3A-621: DC / DC Converter Temperature Sensor "A" Low; DTC P0C3B-622: DC / DC Converter Temperature Sensor "A" High; DTC P0C3F-623: DC / DC Converter Temperature Sensor "B" Low; DTC P0C40-624: DC / DC Converter Temperature Sensor "B" High [11/2016 - ]: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Toyota Highlander, 2018 Toyota Highlander, and 2017 Toyota Highlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The MG ECU, which is built into in the inverter with converter assembly, detects the boost converter temperature using the temperature sensor in the boost converter. The boost converter temperature sensor outputs voltage that changes between 0.5 and 4.5 V according to changes in temperature. The higher the boost converter temperature is, the lower the output voltage will be. Conversely, the lower the boost converter temperature is, the higher the output voltage will be. The MG ECU controls load based on signals sent from the boost converter temperature sensor to prevent overheating. The MG ECU detects malfunctions in the boost converter temperature sensor and its wiring.
