DTC SUMMARY

MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

The hybrid vehicle control ECU detects that a safety device (interlock) is operated or that there is an open circuit in the detection circuit. (Even if an open circuit occurs while the vehicle is stopped, the system determines that the safety device was operated.)

The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:

Detection switch system malfunction

  • Service plug malfunction

Low-voltage system malfunction

  • Hybrid vehicle control ECU malfunction
  • Service plug malfunction
  • Wire harness malfunction
  • Connector malfunction

INSPECTION DESCRIPTION

Reason

Inspection Step

*a
  • Check whether the safety device (interlock) is connected securely and installed properly (service plug grip, etc.).
  • Check the connection condition of the hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.

DTC output due to improper connection or forgetting to install parts.

*b

Inspect the detection circuit.

DESCRIPTION

When the hybrid vehicle control ECU detects that a safety device (interlock) is operated, such as when the service plug grip or inverter cover is removed, it will prohibit hybrid system operation or shut off the system main relay. The 2 safety devices are located as follows; 1 in the service plug grip, 1 on the inverter cover for the terminals of the inverter with converter assembly motor cable and generator cable. If the service plug grip, inverter cover is removed, the interlock signal line will be open. If the vehicle is being driven, this condition will be determined to be an open circuit and the system main relays will not be shut off. When the safety devices are re-installed correctly, the system will return to normal when the power switch is turned on (IG).

The system main relay will be turned off from the next trip after the open is detected until the condition returns to normal.

DTC No.

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.

    Without waiting for 10 minutes

    HINT:

    Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.

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.
