SAE Code: P0AA4 |
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
- Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
- Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY).
- Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more.
- 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.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / 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 driving pattern again.

NOTICE:
- If the DTCs are cleared or the cable is disconnected and reconnected to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal before performing repairs, turning the ignition switch to ON (READY) may cause a malfunction. Do not turn the ignition switch to ON (READY).
- After the ignition switch is turned off, there may be a waiting time before disconnecting the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.

HINT:
- If DTC P0AA373 is output, the ignition switch cannot be turned to ON (READY).
- P0AA373 may be output as a result of the malfunction indicated by the DTCs in table below.
- The chart above is listed in inspection order of priority.
- Check DTCs that are output at the same time by following the listed order. (The main cause of the malfunction can be determined without performing unnecessary inspections.)

PROCEDURE
|
1. | CHECK FREEZE FRAME DATA (HYBRID CONTROL) |
(a) Read the Freeze Frame Data of DTC P0AA373.
Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Trouble CodesNOTICE:
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.
