Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.
Manuals through 2025 now available!

Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.

LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!

System Main Relay, Hybrid Drive: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

1. SMR1 AND SYSTEM MAIN RESISTOR




a. Measure the resistance between the 3 (CON1) and 4 (GND) terminals of the connector for the relay drive of the HV relay assembly.

Standard resistance: 70 to 165 Ohms (at -30 degrees C (-22 degrees F) to 80 degrees C (176 degrees F))

b. Increase battery voltage between the 3 (CON1) and 4 (GND) terminals of the connector for the relay drive of the HV relay assembly, and measure the resistance between the terminal of the HV battery side positive connector and the w/ convertor inverter assembly side positive terminal of the HV relay assembly.

HINT: The standard resistance indicates the resistance of the system main resistor.

Standard resistance: 28.5 to 31.5 Ohms

2. SMR2




a. Measure the resistance between the 1 (CON2) and 4 (GND) terminals of the connector for the relay drive of the HV relay assembly.

Standard resistance: 20 to 60 Ohms (at -35 degrees C (-31 degrees F) to 80 degrees C (176 degrees F))

b. Increase battery voltage between the 1 (CON2) and 4 (GND) terminals of the connector for the relay drive of the HV relay assembly, and measure the resistance between the terminal of the HV battery side positive connector and the w/ converter inverter assembly side positive terminal of the HV relay assembly.

Standard resistance: Below 1 Ohms

3. SMR3




a. Measure the resistance between the 2 (CON3) and 4 (GND) terminals of the connector for the relay drive of the HV relay assembly.

Standard resistance: 20 to 60 Ohms (at -35 degrees C (-31 degrees F) to 80 degrees C (176 degrees F))

b. Increase battery voltage between the 2 (CON3) and 4 (GND) terminals of the connector for the relay drive of the HV relay assembly, and measure the resistance between the terminal of the HV battery side negative connector and the w/ converter inverter assembly side negative terminal of the HV relay assembly.

Standard resistance: Below 1 Ohms
