DTC P0AA3-73: Hybrid/EV Battery Negative Contactor Actuator Stuck Closed [12/2022 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. CHECK FREEZE FRAME DATA (HYBRID CONTROL) 

    Pre-procedure1

    • None.
    • Read the Freeze Frame Data of DTC P0AA3-73.

      Powertrain > Hybrid Control > DTC (P0AA3-73) > Freeze Frame Data 

      Tester Display
      VL-Voltage before Boosting
      VH-Voltage after Boosting
      NOTE:

      As freeze frame data is stored immediately before and after a DTC is stored, make sure to only read the values for the moment the DTC was stored ("0(s)").

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Difference between "VL-Voltage before Boosting" and "VH-Voltage after Boosting" is less than 90 V. A
      Difference between "VL-Voltage before Boosting" and "VH-Voltage after Boosting" is 90 V or more. B

      HINT: 

      If VH-Voltage after Boosting is output even when an off command is being sent to the system main relay (positive side), P0AA3-73 is output. If the difference between the "VL-Voltage before Boosting" and the "VH-Voltage after Boosting" is large, it is determined that there is an inverter (VH sensor) malfunction.

    Post-procedure1

    • Turn the ignition switch off.
