- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.
- Read the freeze frame data item Ambient Temperature using the Techstream.
Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Trouble Codes
- Check if the freeze frame data item Ambient Temperature is below the freezing temperature of the HV coolant.
Result
Result Proceed to Ambient Temperature value is above freezing temperature of the HV coolant A Ambient Temperature value is below freezing temperature of the HV coolant B HINT:
- HV coolant (SLLC) with a 30% concentration freezes at -15°C (5°F) and HV coolant (SLLC) with a 50% concentration freezes at -35°C (-31°F).
- If the HV coolant freezes in the HV radiator or inverter water pump, the coolant temperature in the inverter with converter assembly rises because the HV coolant cannot circulate. As a result, a DTC may be stored.
- A DTC is stored when the inverter water pump impeller cannot rotate due to freezing of the HV coolant.
- If DTCs are output due to freezing of the LLC, the problem symptom cannot be reproduced. Check the LLC replacement history and whether the LLC was frozen based on the ambient temperature when the DTCs were stored.
- Turn the power switch off.
