ECU Power Source Circuit

DESCRIPTION

If the power switch is on (IG), the hybrid vehicle control ECU applies current to the MREL terminal to turn the IGCT relay on. This supplies power to the +B1 and +B2 terminals.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

After turning the power 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.
