DTC P0ABF-28: Hybrid/EV Battery Current Sensor "A" Signal Bias Level Out of Range / Zero Adjustment Failure [11/2023 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Toyota Highlander and 2024 Toyota Highlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HYBRID CONTROL) 
    1. Check for DTCs.

      Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Trouble Codes 

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      P0AFC-00, P0AFC-96 or P0A95-63 is not output. A
      P0AFC-00, P0AFC-96 or P0A95-63 is also output. B
    2. Turn the ignition switch off.

    Result: 

    GO TO DTC CHART (HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM) 

    Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [11/2023 - ]

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY VOLTAGE SENSOR - HV BATTERY JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY) 

    See step  3

    Result

    Proceed to
    OK
    NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE HYBRID BATTERY THERMISTOR (WIRE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR) 

    Refer to REMOVAL [11/2023 - ]

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK HV BATTERY JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY (BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR (IB)) 
    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 ignition switch to ON (READY), unless instructed by the repair information because this may cause a malfunction.

    2. Disconnect the z13 battery current sensor connector.

      NOTE:

      Before disconnecting the connector, check that it is not loose or disconnected.

    3. Remove the HV battery junction block assembly.

      Refer to REMOVAL [11/2023 - ]

    4. Connect the z13 battery current sensor connector.
    5. Connect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
    6. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    7. Using a Toyota electrical tester set to 40 V, measure the VIB voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      *a Component with harness connected
      (Battery Voltage Sensor)
      Tester Connection Switch Condition
      z12-10 (VIB) - z12-22 (GIB) Ignition switch ON
      NOTE:
      • Turning the ignition switch to ON with the service plug grip removed causes other DTCs to be stored. Clear the DTCs after performing this inspection.
      • Be sure to set the Toyota electrical tester to 40 V when performing this test.
    8. Using a Toyota electrical tester set to 4 V, measure the IB0 voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      *a Component with harness connected
      (Battery Voltage Sensor)
      Tester Connection Switch Condition
      z12-9 (IB0) - z12-22 (GIB) Ignition switch ON
      NOTE:

      Be sure to set the Toyota electrical tester to 4 V when performing this test.

    9. Compare the measured values of the IB0 terminal voltage and VIB terminal voltage using the following formula:
      IB0 voltage - VIB Voltage / 2 = less than 0.081 V
      IB0 voltage - VIB Voltage / 2 = -0.081 V or higher

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Within the specified range above A
      Other than above B
    10. Turn the ignition switch off.
    11. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
    12. Install the HV battery junction block assembly.

      HINT: 

      When the ignition switch is ON, the actual current will be approximately 0 A. The following graph shows the relation between the actual output voltage of the battery current sensor terminal IB0 and the actual current used for DTC judgment.

  5. SIMULATION TEST 
    1. Clear the DTCs and Freeze Frame Data.

      Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Clear DTCs 

    2. Drive the vehicle on urban roads for approximately 10 minutes.
    3. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
    4. Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for 10 seconds or more.
