A25A-FXS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: P06AB11,P06AB15; Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor "B" Circuit Short to Ground; 2019 - 2024 MY Camry HV [09/2018

The ECM has a built-in internal temperature sensor which detects the internal temperature of the ECM. The resistance of the thermistor within the ECM internal temperature sensor changes according to the internal temperature of the ECM. The resistance of the thermistor increases as the ECM internal temperature decreases and decreases as the ECM internal temperature increases.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM calculates the internal temperature of the ECM based on the output voltage of the ECM internal temperature sensor. If the output voltage of the ECM internal temperature sensor is not within the normal operating range, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC. In this case, the ECM internal temperature sensor may be malfunctioning or there may be an open or short in the sensor circuit.

When the output voltage of the ECM internal temperature sensor is less than 0.22 V, or more than 4.91 V for 3 seconds or more, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the Techstream on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the power switch on (IG) [A].
Turn the Techstream on.
Wait 5 seconds [B].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
Read the pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P06AB11 or P06AB15.

Check the DTC judgment result.

Techstream Display	Description
NORMAL	DTC judgment completed System normal
ABNORMAL	DTC judgment completed System abnormal
INCOMPLETE	DTC judgment not completed Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

HINT:

If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
[A] to [C]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the auxiliary battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

Powertrain > Engine > Clear DTCs

(a) Drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in Confirmation Driving Pattern.
