DTC |
P1C7C49 |
Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage System Isolation (A/C Area) Internal Electronic Failure |
DESCRIPTION
This DTC is stored if there is insulation malfunction in the high-voltage circuit in the air conditioning system. Possible causes are poor insulation in the compressor with motor assembly, or mixing of any oil other than ND-OIL 11 in the refrigerant cycle.
A high-voltage motor is built into the compressor with motor assembly and is cooled directly with refrigerant. Compressor oil (ND-OIL 11) with high insulation performance is used because a leakage of electrical power may occur if regular compressor oil (ND-OIL 8) is used.
CAUTION:
- Wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip before inspection as procedures may require disconnecting high-voltage connectors. Carry the removed service plug in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are servicing the vehicle.
- Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is removed.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
- Wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip before inspection as procedures may require disconnecting high-voltage connectors. Carry the removed service plug in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are servicing the vehicle.
- Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is removed.
NOTICE:
-
After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

for 2WD:
- Electrical insulation performance may decrease significantly if even a small amount of oil other than ND-OIL 11 is used (or enters) in the refrigerant cycle, causing a DTC to be output.
- If other oil is accidentally used and a DTC is output, collect as much oil in the refrigerant cycle into the compressor with motor assembly as possible and replace it with ND-OIL 11 to increase the ND-OIL 11 ratio amount.
- Replace the main components of the air conditioning cycle (evaporator, condenser, and compressor) if a large amount of oil other than ND-OIL 11 enters the system. Failing to do so may cause electrical insulation performance to remain low, causing a DTC to be output.
- The hybrid control system and air conditioning system output DTCs separately. Perform troubleshooting for the hybrid control system first if DTCs from these systems are output simultaneously.
HINT:
If it can be confirmed that any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11 has been used in the vehicle, replace the main components of the air conditioning cycle.

INSPECT COMPRESSOR WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY |
CAUTION:
Because the compressor with motor assembly has a high-voltage circuit, wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip to cut off the high-voltage circuit before inspection.
(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY).
(b) Prepare the vehicle according to the table below for 3 minutes.

CAUTION:
Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is removed.
NOTICE:
After removing the service plug grip, turning the ignition switch to ON (READY) may cause a malfunction. Do not turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) with the service plug grip removed.
|
(e) Disconnect the compressor with motor assembly connector. |

INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING CYCLE |
CAUTION:
Because the compressor with motor assembly has a high-voltage circuit, wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip to cut off the high-voltage circuit before inspection.
(a) Reconnect the Z1 the compressor with motor assembly connector.
(b) Install the service plug grip.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY).
(d) Set the A/C temperature to 25°C (77°F) and blower switch to LO and then operate the compressor with motor assembly for 10 minutes to circulate the refrigerant and collect as much compressor oil as possible in the compressor with motor assembly.
(e) Turn the ignition switch off.
(f) Using a spot cooler or other tool, cool down the compressor with motor assembly for 30 minutes, or leave the vehicle overnight before inspection.
NOTICE:
Do not operate the compressor before inspection.
(g) Remove the service plug grip.

CAUTION:
Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is removed.
NOTICE:
After removing the service plug grip, turning the ignition switch to ON (READY) may cause a malfunction. Do not turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) with the service plug grip removed.
