HINT:

If the vehicle as is left as is for 24 hours, the value of "Hybrid/EV Battery Temperature" will be almost the same as the ambient temperature.

The following items can be helpful when performing repairs:

Data List

  • Vehicle Speed
  • Ambient Temperature

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The battery temperature sensors are provided at 3 locations of the HV battery. The resistance of the thermistor, which is built into each battery temperature sensor, varies in accordance with changes in the HV battery temperature. The lower the battery temperature, the higher the thermistor resistance. Conversely, the higher the temperature, the lower the resistance. The battery voltage sensor uses the battery temperature sensor to detect the HV battery temperature, and sends the detected value to the hybrid vehicle control ECU. Based on the results of this detection, the hybrid vehicle control ECU controls the blower fan. (The blower fan starts when the HV battery temperature rises above a predetermined level.)

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

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.
