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

  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 30 seconds or more.
  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY).
  6. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more.
  7. Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY).

    HINT:

    According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List and monitor the values of "Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage" and "VL-Voltage before Boosting" for 3 minutes. If the difference between "Hybrid/EV Battery Voltage" and "VL-Voltage before Boosting" is always less than 100 V, the vehicle has returned to normal.

  8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Utility / All Readiness.
  9. 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 driving pattern again.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK FREEZE FRAME DATA (HYBRID CONTROL)

(a) Read the Freeze Frame Data of DTC P0AA373.

Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Trouble Codes

NOTICE:

As freeze frame data is stored immediately before and after a DTC is stored, make sure to only read the values for the moment the DTC was stored ("0(s)").

Result

Proceed to

Difference between "VL-Voltage before Boosting" and "VH-Voltage after Boosting" is less than 76 V.

A

Difference between "VL-Voltage before Boosting" and "VH-Voltage after Boosting" is 76 V or more.

B

HINT:

If VH-Voltage after Boosting is output even when an off command is being sent to the system main relay (positive side), P0AA373 is output. If the difference between the "VL-Voltage before Boosting" and the "VH-Voltage after Boosting" is large, it is determined that there is an inverter (VH sensor) malfunction.

(b) Turn the ignition switch off.
