Title: HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM (for LITHIUM-ION BATTERY): P0A2A1C,P0A2A1F; Drive Motor "A" Temperature Sensor Voltage Out of Range; 2020 - 2024 MY RAV4 HV [06/2020 -        ]

DTC

P0A2A1C

Drive Motor "A" Temperature Sensor Voltage Out of Range

DTC

P0A2A1F

Drive Motor "A" Temperature Sensor Circuit Intermittent

DTC SUMMARY

MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

These DTCs are stored when the motor temperature sensor output is abnormal. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:

Hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly malfunction

  • Hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly internal malfunction

Motor temperature sensor malfunction

  • Internal motor temperature sensor malfunction
  • Open or short in motor temperature sensor

Wire harness between the motor temperature sensor and hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly

  • The connectors are not connected properly
  • Foreign matter or water on the connector terminals
  • Open or short in wire harness

HINT:

If any of these DTCs are stored, the motor temperature sensor is malfunctioning and the self-protection function may not operate. Therefore under certain high load driving condition, the temperature of the motor (MG2) becomes high. If the self-protection function does not operate, the motor (MG2) may malfunction and cause the vehicle to enter fail-safe mode.

DESCRIPTION

Refer to the description for DTC P0A2A11.
