      • Wire harness condition (BATT circuit)
      • Wire harness condition (GND circuit)

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Post-procedure1

    • None.

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION FLOOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY (SHIFT CONTROL ECU) POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT) 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK TRANSMISSION FLOOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY (SHIFT CONTROL ECU) (IGCT TERMINAL VOLTAGE) 

    Pre-procedure1

    • Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    • Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Result
      K53-3 (IGCT) - K53-9 (E1) Ignition switch off 11 to 14 V V

      HINT: 

      As there might be an intermittent malfunction, inspect the following items even if the measured voltage is as specified.

      • Installation condition of fuse(s) (before removing fuse(s)) (IGCT circuit)
      • Fuse condition (before and after removing fuse(s)) (IGCT circuit)
      • Connection condition of connectors (IGCT circuit)
      • Wire harness condition (IGCT circuit)
      • Wire harness condition (GND circuit)

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Post-procedure1

    • Turn the ignition switch off.

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION FLOOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY (SHIFT CONTROL ECU) POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT) 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU - TRANSMISSION FLOOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY (SHIFT CONTROL ECU)) 
    WARNING:

    Be sure to wear insulated gloves.

    Pre-procedure1

    • 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.

    • Disconnect the hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.
      NOTE:
      • Before disconnecting the connector, check that it is not loose or disconnected.
      • Check that each connector between the hybrid vehicle control ECU and transmission floor shift assembly (shift control ECU) is not loose or disconnected.
    • Disconnect the transmission floor shift assembly (shift control ECU) connector.
      NOTE:
      • Before disconnecting the connector, check that it is not loose or disconnected.
      • Check the terminals of the connector for deformation and corrosion.
    • Disconnect the shift control actuator assembly (shift control actuator ECU) connector.
      NOTE:
      • Before disconnecting the connector, check that it is not loose or disconnected.
      • Check the terminals of the connector for deformation and corrosion.
