Title: HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: MOTOR GENERATOR CONTROL SYSTEM (for LITHIUM-ION BATTERY with PA10): P274A11,P274A15; Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "C" Circuit Short to Ground; 2023 - 2025 MY Corolla HV [09/2022 -        ]

DTC

P274A11

Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "C" Circuit Short to Ground

DTC

P274A15

Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "C" Circuit Short to Auxiliary Battery or Open

DTC SUMMARY

MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

These DTCs are stored when the transmission fluid temperature sensor output is abnormal. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:

Motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) internal malfunction

  • Motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) malfunction

Transmission fluid temperature sensor malfunction

  • Internal transmission fluid temperature sensor malfunction
  • Open or short in transmission fluid temperature sensor

Wire harness between the transmission fluid temperature sensor and motor generator control ECU (MG ECU)

  • The connectors are not connected properly
  • Foreign matter or water on the connector terminals
  • Open or short in wire harness

DESCRIPTION

The resistance of the thermistor built into the transmission fluid temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the transmission fluid temperature. The lower the transmission fluid temperature, the higher the thermistor resistance. Conversely, the higher the transmission fluid temperature, the lower the resistance.

DTC No.

  • 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 5 seconds or more. [*1]
  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.
