Title: HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM (for NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE BATTERY): Pattern Select Switch EV Mode Circuit; 2019 - 2020 MY Avalon HV [04/2018 - 08/2020]

Pattern Select Switch EV Mode Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The EV drive mode signal will be sent to the hybrid vehicle control ECU when the EV drive mode switch (electric parking brake switch assembly) is operated. If the specified conditions are met, the system enters EV drive mode and the vehicle will be driven using EV drive mode. This signal is then transmitted from the hybrid vehicle control ECU via CAN to the combination meter assembly to illuminate the EV drive mode indicator.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Depending on the condition of the hybrid control system and the driving conditions, the drive mode may not be able to be changed to EV drive mode and a warning message will be displayed on the multi-information display.

HINT:

Under the following conditions, the drive mode will not be able to be changed to EV drive mode:

  • The hybrid control system is extremely hot.
  • The hybrid control system is extremely cold.
  • The engine is warming up.
  • The SOC (State of Charge) of the HV battery is low.
  • The vehicle is being driven at a speed higher than the specified value.
  • The accelerator pedal is being fully depressed or the vehicle is climbing a slope.
  • The defroster is on.
  • DTCs are stored.

PROCEDURE

1.

ASK ABOUT VEHICLE CONDITION

(a) Check if a buzzer sounded and a message was displayed on the multi-information display when attempting to enter EV drive mode.

Result

Proceed to

No buzzer sounded and no message was displayed on multi-information display

A

A buzzer sounded and a message was displayed on multi-information display

B

HINT:

If a buzzer sounds and a message is displayed on the multi-information display, one or more of the EV drive mode entry conditions have not been met.
