Toyota Corolla Cross: Drive Motor Inverter Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Voltage Out of Range (P0AED1C)

DTC SUMMARY

MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

These DTCs indicate that the motor inverter temperature sensor value is abnormal. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:

• Inverter with converter assembly internal circuit malfunction

• Coolant circulation abnormal (frozen or leaking, etc.)

• The connectors are not connected properly

DESCRIPTION

The motor generator control ECU (MG ECU), which is built into the inverter with converter assembly, detects the temperature of the motor inverter using the motor inverter temperature sensor. If necessary, the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) will limit inverter output to help prevent the motor inverter from overheating. The motor generator control ECU also detects malfunctions in the sensor based on the temperature sensor values.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If the motor generator control ECU detects a malfunction of the Drive Motor Inverter Temperature Sensor "A", it will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

1. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
2. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY). [*1]
4. Drive the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes with the value of Data List item "Inverter Coolant Temperature" 25°C (77°F) or more. [*2]

   HINT:

   [*1] to [*2]: Normal judgment procedure.

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

5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Motor Generator / Utility / All Readiness.
6. 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.
