Toyota Corolla Cross: DC/DC Converter Step Up Voltage Performance (P0CA300)
DTC SUMMARY
MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that it has been detected that the VH voltage cannot be boosted as commanded due to malfunction of the boost converter system. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:
Internal inverter malfunction- Inverter with converter assembly internal circuit malfunction
- The connectors are not connected properly
DESCRIPTION
The boost converter boosts the 207.2 V DC from the HV battery to a maximum of approximately 600 V DC. The inverter converts the voltage that has been boosted by the boost converter into alternating current, which is used for driving generator (MG1) and motor (MG2). When a motor or generator operates as a generator, the alternating current that it creates is converted into direct current by the inverter. Then the boost converter drops this voltage to direct current of approximately 207.2 V in order to charge the HV battery.
The motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) uses a voltage sensor (VL) that is built into the boost converter to detect the high voltage before it is boosted. It also uses a voltage sensor (VH) that is built into the inverter to detect the high voltage after it is boosted. Based on the voltage before and after it is boosted, the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) controls the operation of the boost converter to boost the voltage to the target voltage.

P0CA300 | DC/DC Converter Step Up Voltage Performance |
Abnormal voltage execution value: Boosting cannot be performed as requested due to a boost converter system malfunction. (1 trip detection logic) |
| Comes on |
Master Warning: Comes on |
SAE Code: P0CA3 |
HINT:
With the vehicle stopped, apply the parking brake and turn the ignition switch to ON (READY).
With the shift lever in P, depress the brake pedal firmly, and quickly and fully depress the accelerator pedal.
Immediately after the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, "VH-Voltage after boosting" will be between 400 and 600 V.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If the difference between the requested boost converter voltage and the actual boost converter voltage exceeds a predetermined value, the motor generator control ECU determines that there is a malfunction of the execution or monitoring of the boost converter voltage, and the 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.

- 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]
- Press the HV EV CHG HOLD mode switch to enter HV drive mode. [*3]
- Depress the accelerator pedal of the vehicle with the engine stopped and the shift lever in P to start the engine. [*4]
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 [*4]: 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.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
Refer to the precautions before inspecting high voltage circuit.
