DTC SUMMARY
MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
This DTC is stored when a short is detected in the inverter with converter assembly (generator inverter) or the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly (generator (MG1)). The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:
Internal inverter malfunction
- Generator inverter internal circuit malfunction
Hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly (generator (MG1)) malfunction
- Open or short circuit
- Damage from iron particles or other foreign objects

P0A7A73 |
Generator Inverter Actuator Stuck Closed |
Current flow to any phase of the generator (MG1) exceeds the threshold after the generator inverter is shut down due to a DTC indicating a generator inverter malfunction (overheating, overcurrent or circuit malfunction) being stored. (1 trip detection logic) |

Master Warning: Comes on |
SAE Code: P0A7A |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The motor generator control ECU monitors the generator inverter electric current. If the current exceeds the threshold for a specified period of time, the motor generator control ECU will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

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]
HINT:
Check that there are no abnormalities (abnormal sounds, coolant leaks, etc.).
-
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.

- DTC P0A7A73 is stored after DTC P0A7A9E and/or P1C5F19 is stored. After troubleshooting and repairing the malfunction which caused DTC P0A7A73 to be stored, be sure to troubleshoot the other DTCs.
- Depending on the conditions in which the vehicle is being operated when a short circuit occurs in the inverter with converter assembly, the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly may be affected. As this DTC is stored if a short circuit occurs in the inverter with converter assembly, it is necessary to perform a road test to check the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly. If problems are found, replace the malfunctioning parts.
- After completing the repair, including the repair of previously output DTCs, drive the vehicle at a speed of approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) for 1 minute and check that DTC P0A92000 is not output. If DTC P0A92000 is output, replace the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly.
HINT:
-
P0A7A73 may be output as a result of the malfunctions indicated by the DTCs in table below.
- The chart above is listed in inspection order of priority.
- Check DTCs that are output at the same time by following the listed order. (The main cause of the malfunction can be determined without performing unnecessary inspections.)

CHECK HYBRID VEHICLE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY (GENERATOR (MG1)) |
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 generator (MG1) 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 generator (MG1) 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:
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).
The calculation is based on the following:
|
|
(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.
