SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The inverter converts the high-voltage direct current of the HV battery into alternating current for the generator (MG1) and motor (MG2). The inverter generates heat during the conversion process. Therefore, the inverter is cooled by a special cooling system consisting of the inverter water pump assembly, the cooling fan, and a radiator. This cooling system is independent of the engine cooling system. The hybrid vehicle control ECU monitors the inverter water pump assembly, cooling fan and cooling system, and detects malfunctions.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

This diagnostic procedure is referenced to in the diagnostic procedure of several DTCs.

If the result of this diagnostic procedure is normal, proceed as directed in the procedure for the DTC.

CAUTION:

  • Before the following operations are conducted, take precautions to prevent electric shock by turning the power switch off, wearing insulated gloves, and removing the service plug grip from HV battery.
    • Inspecting the high-voltage system
    • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly
    • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the HV battery
  • To prevent electric shock, make sure to remove the service plug grip to cut off the high voltage circuit before servicing the vehicle.
  • After removing the service plug grip from the HV battery, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
  • After removing the service plug grip, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals. After waiting for 10 minutes, check the voltage at the terminals in the inspection point in the inverter with converter assembly. The voltage should be 0 V before beginning work.
