Title: HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM (for LITHIUM-ION BATTERY with PA10): P321E9F; Motor/Generator Shutdown Signal Stuck Off; 2023 - 2025 MY Corolla HV [09/2022 -        ]

DTC

P321E9F

Motor/Generator Shutdown Signal Stuck Off

DTC SUMMARY

MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

The hybrid vehicle control ECU detects malfunctions which prevent the inverter with converter assembly emergency shutdown circuit (HSDN) from shutting down the hybrid control system. Detection is performed when the ignition switch is turned to ON and during the shutdown sequence when the ignition switch is turned off.

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

Hybrid vehicle control ECU and inverter with converter assembly shutdown circuit malfunction

  • Hybrid vehicle control ECU malfunction
  • Connector or wire harness malfunction (between hybrid vehicle control ECU and inverter with converter assembly) malfunction
  • Inverter with converter assembly malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The hybrid vehicle control ECU sends a block signal to the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) to shut down the power supply to the motor. When the system is not in the on (READY) state, it sends an HSDN (MG shutdown signal) signal from the hybrid vehicle control ECU to the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) to check the function of the HV gate block. When a malfunction is detected in the HV gate block function, DTCs are stored.

DTC No.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

Click here 2023 - 2025 MY Corolla HV [09/2022 -        ]; HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM (for LITHIUM-ION BATTERY with PA10): UTILITY

  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) and wait for 30 seconds or more.
  6. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
  7. Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) and wait for 30 seconds or more.
  8. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
  9. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
  10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Utility / All Readiness.
  11. Check the DTC judgment result.

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform driving pattern again.
