DTC SUMMARY
MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
This DTC is stored when a short is detected in the inverter with converter assembly (motor inverter) or the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly (motor (MG2)). The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:
Internal inverter malfunction
-
Motor inverter internal circuit malfunction
Hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly (motor (MG2)) malfunction
-
Open or short circuit
-
Iron particles or damage from foreign objects

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
-
When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
Click here
-
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
-
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
-
Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for 5 seconds or more. [*1]
-
Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) and wait for 5 seconds or more. [*2]
-
Drive the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes mainly using the engine. [*3]
NOTICE:
As the state of charge of the HV battery may be low after driving in fail-safe mode, it will automatically be charged for 5 to 10 minutes with ignition switch ON (READY) after repairs have been performed.
HINT:
[*1] to [*3]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
-
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Motor Generator / Utility / All Readiness.
-
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 the normal judgment procedure again.

PROCEDURE
1.
|
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 ignition switch to ON (READY), unless instructed by the repair manual because this may cause a malfunction.
(b) Disconnect the motor cable from the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly.
(c) Check the motor (MG2) for an interphase short using a milliohmmeter.
(1) 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 has been stopped.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection
|
Condition
|
Specified Condition
|
p3-1 (W) - p3-2 (U)
|
Ignition switch off
|
56.0 to 61.8 mΩ
|
p3-2 (U) - p3-3 (V)
|
Ignition switch off
|
56.1 to 62.1 mΩ
|
p3-1 (W) - p3-3 (V)
|
Ignition switch off
|
56.2 to 62.2 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)

|
(d) Using a megohmmeter set to 500 V, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
NOTICE:
Be sure to set the megohmmeter to 500 V when performing this test. Using a setting higher than 500 V can result in damage to the component being inspected.
Standard Resistance:
