Replacement [11/2018 - 12/2021]: Procedure

DRAIN COOLANT (for Inverter)

WARNING:

To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the reserve tank cap while the coolant (for inverter) is still hot. Pressurized, hot coolant (for inverter) and steam may be released and cause serious burns.

NOTE:

Do not reuse the drained coolant because it may contain foreign matter.
Collect the drained coolant and measure its volume to establish a benchmark. When adding coolant, make sure to add more coolant than the measured amount.

Remove the reserve tank cap from the inverter reserve tank assembly.

Connect a hose with an inside diameter of 9 mm (0.354 in.) to the drain cock as shown in the illustration.

Loosen the drain cock plug indicated in the illustration and drain the coolant.
Tighten the drain cock plug by hand.
Disconnect the hose from the drain cock.

ADD COOLANT (for Inverter)

NOTE:

Do not reuse the drained coolant because it may contain foreign matter.

If the vehicle is driven with air in the inverter cooling system, damage may occur and the following DTCs may be stored.

P0A94-9E	DC/DC Converter Stuck On
P0D33-19	DC/DC Converter Circuit Current Above Threshold
P0AED-1C	Drive Motor Inverter Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Voltage Out of Range
P0C38-1C	DC/DC Converter Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Voltage Out of Range
P0C3D-1C	DC/DC Converter Temperature Sensor "B" Circuit Voltage Out of Range
P0E58-1C	DC/DC Converter Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit Voltage Out of Range
P1CCC-96	DC/DC Converter Enable Component Internal Failure

Slowly pour coolant into the inverter reserve tank assembly until it reaches the FULL line.

Standard Capacity

2.0 liters (2.1 US qts, 1.8 Imp. qts)

NOTE:

To prevent foreign matter such as dust or dirt from entering the cooling system, make sure to confirm that the container used to add coolant is clean and free of foreign matter.

When using the Techstream:

Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).

Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Active Test / Activate the Inverter Water Pump.

Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Active Test

Tester Display
Activate the Inverter Water Pump

HINT:

The inverter water pump with motor assembly can also be operated using inspection mode.

Refer to INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE [11/2018 - ]

While adding coolant to the inverter reserve tank assembly to keep the coolant at the FULL line and compensate for the drop in the coolant level as the air bleeds, operate and stop the inverter water pump assembly at 1 minute intervals.
Standard

Air bleeding from the inverter cooling system is completed when the noise made by the inverter water pump assembly becomes smaller and the circulation of coolant in the inverter reserve tank assembly improves.

HINT:

Loud noises made by the inverter water pump assembly and poor circulation of coolant in the inverter reserve tank assembly indicate that there is air in the cooling system.

When not using the Techstream:
1. Turn the power switch on (READY). [*1]
2. Turn the power switch off and add coolant to the FULL line as the coolant level will drop as the air bleeds. [*2]
  NOTE:
  - Be sure to turn the power switch off before adding SLLC.
  - Do not work on the components in the engine compartment while the power switch is on (READY) as the engine will operate intermittently.
3. Repeat steps [*1] and [*2] until air bleeding from the cooling system is completed.
  Standard
  
  Air bleeding from the inverter cooling system is completed when the noise made by the inverter water pump assembly becomes smaller and the circulation of coolant in the inverter reserve tank assembly improves.
  
  HINT:
  
  Loud noises made by the inverter water pump assembly and poor circulation of coolant in the inverter reserve tank assembly indicate that there is air in the cooling system.

After the air is completely bled from the cooling system, add coolant to the FULL line of inverter reserve tank assembly and install the reserve tank cap.

NOTE:

Check that the amount of coolant (for Inverter) added is more than the amount drained.
