Title: HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: MOTOR GENERATOR CONTROL SYSTEM (for LITHIUM-ION BATTERY with PA10): P0A1B94; Drive Motor "A" Control Module Unexpected Operation; 2023 - 2025 MY Corolla HV [09/2022 -        ]

DTC

P0A1B94

Drive Motor "A" Control Module Unexpected Operation

DTC SUMMARY

MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

For the calculation processing (in particular, calculation processing related to driving force such as torque calculations and inverter control) that takes place inside the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU), the microcomputers built into the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) monitor each other and check each other's calculations for appropriateness.

The cause of this malfunction may be the following:

Motor generator control ECU internal malfunction

  • Motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) malfunction

DESCRIPTION

When the separate microcomputers within the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) that monitor each other detect an abnormality in the information, a DTC is stored.

DTC No.

Note

P0A1B94

Drive Motor "A" Control Module Unexpected Operation

When the separate microcomputers within the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) that monitor each other detect a value in the information that differs from what is expected for a specified period of time.

(1 trip detection logic)
  • Inverter with converter assembly
  • IGCT-MAIN NO. 1 relay

Master Warning:

Comes on

SAE Code:

P0A1B

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) monitors the microcomputers within the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU). If the internal operation is malfunctioning, the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) illuminates the MIL and stores 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 2023 - 2025 MY Corolla HV [09/2022 -        ]; HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: MOTOR GENERATOR CONTROL SYSTEM (for LITHIUM-ION BATTERY with PA10): UTILITY

  • When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.

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

  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 and turn the GTS on.
  6. With ignition switch ON and wait for 2 minutes or more. [*1]

    HINT:

    • If the vehicle has returned to normal, it can be driven after turning the ignition switch to ON (READY).
    • [*1]: Normal judgment procedure.

      The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

  7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Motor Generator / Utility / All Readiness.
  8. 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 AUXILIARY BATTERY TERMINAL (CONTACT PROBLEM)

(a) Check the connection of the negative (-) and positive (+) auxiliary battery terminals.

OK:

The terminals are connected securely and there is no contact problem.

HINT:

If performing a simulation test, turn the ignition switch to ON and shake the wire harnesses vertically and horizontally before checking for DTCs.

NG

GO TO STEP 5

OK

2.

CHECK GROUND WIRE CONNECTION CONDITION

(a) Check the installation condition of the ground wires CI.

OK:

The ground wires CI are securely installed.

HINT:

If performing a simulation test, turn the ignition switch to ON and shake the wire harnesses vertically and horizontally before checking for DTCs.

NG

GO TO STEP 6

OK

3.

CHECK RELAY (IGCT-MAIN NO. 1)

(a) Check the IGCT-MAIN NO. 1 relay for improper installation.

OK:

The relay is installed securely.

HINT:

If performing a simulation test, turn the ignition switch to ON and gently vibrate the IGCT-MAIN NO. 1 relay with a finger before checking for DTCs.

(b) Remove the IGCT-MAIN NO. 1 relay from the No. 1 engine room relay block and No. 1 junction block assembly.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:
