Motor High-voltage Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The cause of the malfunction may be the high-voltage circuit of the motor.

Check the motor internal resistance and the connection condition of the high-voltage line between the inverter and motor to check whether there is an open or short circuit.

Area

Inspection

Motor cable connection check

Check for open or short circuit in the connection condition of the cable from the inverter to the motor.

Motor and motor cable

Check the motor (including cable) internal resistance and insulation resistance with body ground to check for an open or short circuit.

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.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK INVERTER WITH CONVERTER ASSEMBLY (MOTOR CABLE CONNECTION CONDITION)

CAUTION:

Be sure to wear insulated gloves.

(a) Check that the service plug grip is not installed.

NOTICE:

After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the power switch on (READY), unless instructed by the repair manual because this may cause a malfunction.

(b) Remove the inverter cover from the inverter with converter assembly.

(c) Check that the bolts for the motor cable are tightened to the specified torque, the motor cable is connected securely, and there are no contact problems.

Specified Condition:

T = 8.0 N*m (82 kgf*cm, 71 in.*lbf)

(d) Disconnect the motor cable from the inverter with converter assembly.

(e) Check for arc marks at the terminals for the motor cable.

CHECK HYBRID VEHICLE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY (MOTOR (MG2))

CAUTION:

Be sure to wear insulated gloves.

(a) Check that the service plug grip is not installed.

NOTICE:

After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the power switch on (READY), unless instructed by the repair manual because this may cause a malfunction.

(b) Remove the inverter cover from the inverter with converter assembly.

(c) Disconnect the motor cable from the inverter with converter assembly.

(d) Using a milliohmmeter, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

HINT:

If the motor (MG2) temperature is high, the resistance will vary greatly from the specification. Therefore, measure the resistance at least 8 hours after the vehicle is stopped.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

p2-1 (W) - p2-2 (U)

Power switch off

101.9 to 112.2 mΩ

p2-2 (U) - p2-3 (V)

Power switch off

101.9 to 112.2 mΩ

p2-3 (V) - p2-1 (W)

Power switch off

102.3 to 112.6 mΩ

HINT:

To correct the variation of the measured resistance due to temperature, use the following formula to calculate the resistance at 20°C (68°F).

R20 = Rt / {1 + 0.00393 X (T - 20)}

The calculation is based on the following:

R20: Resistance at 20°C (68°F) (mΩ)

Rt: Measured resistance (mΩ)

T: Temperature when the resistance is measured (°C (°F).)
