  5. CHECK REAR TRACTION MOTOR WITH TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY (MGR) 
    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 instructed by the repair information because this may cause a malfunction.

    2. Remove the No. 6 floor wire (rear motor cable) and extension wire assembly from the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly.
    3. Check the rear motor (MGR) for an interphase short using a milliohmmeter.

      1. Using a milliohmmeter, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        HINT: 

        If the rear motor (MGR) temperature is high, the resistance will vary greatly from the specification. Therefore, measure the resistance at least 8 hours after the vehicle is stopped.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        R3-3 (R-U) - R3-2 (R-V) Power switch off 142 to 152 mΩ
        R3-2 (R-V) - R3-1 (R-W) Power switch off 142 to 152 mΩ
        R3-1 (R-W) - R3-3 (R-U) Power switch off 142 to 152 mΩ

        HINT: 

        To correct the variation of the measured resistance due to temperature, use the following formula to calculate the resistance at 20°C (68°F).

        • R20 = Rt / {1 + 0.00393 X (T - 20)}

        The calculation is based on the following:

        • R20: Resistance at 20°C (68°F) (mΩ)
        • Rt: Measured resistance (mΩ)
        • T: Temperature when the resistance is measured (°C (°F))
    4. Using a megohmmeter set to 500 V, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
      NOTE:

      Be sure to set the megohmmeter to 500 V when performing this test. Using a setting higher than 500 V can result in damage to the component being inspected.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      R3-3 (R-U) - Body ground Power switch off 100 MΩ or higher
      R3-2 (R-V) - Body ground Power switch off 100 MΩ or higher
      R3-1 (R-W) - Body ground Power switch off 100 MΩ or higher
    5. Install the No. 6 floor wire (rear motor cable) and extension wire assembly to the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly.
