DTC P0A1B-94: Drive Motor "A" Control Module Unexpected Operation [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 AUXILIARY BATTERY TERMINAL (CONTACT PROBLEM) 
    1. Check the connection of the negative (-) and positive (+) auxiliary battery terminals.

      OK

      The terminals are connected securely and there is no contact problem.

      HINT: 

      If performing a simulation test, turn the ignition switch to ON and shake the wire harnesses vertically and horizontally before checking for DTCs.

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK GROUND WIRE CONNECTION CONDITION 
    1. Check the installation condition of the ground wires OA.

      OK

      The ground wires OA are securely installed.

      HINT: 

      If performing a simulation test, turn the ignition switch to ON and shake the wire harnesses vertically and horizontally before checking for DTCs.

    NG 

    See step  7

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK FUSE (IGCT-IG) 
    1. Remove the IGCT-IG fuse from the No. 5 floor relay block and No. 5 floor junction block assembly.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      IGCT-IG fuse Always Below 1 Ω
    3. Reinstall the IGCT-IG fuse.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG

    1. Check the IGCT relay for improper installation.

      OK

      The relay is installed securely.

      HINT: 

      If performing a simulation test, turn the ignition switch to ON and gently vibrate the IGCT relay with a finger before checking for DTCs.

    2. Remove the IGCT relay from the No. 5 floor relay block and No. 5 floor junction block assembly.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
