P0A7A-324 - Generator Inverter Performance





HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM: P0A7A-324: Generator Inverter Performance
P0A7A-324 - Generator Inverter Performance

DESCRIPTION

For a description of the inverter, P0A78.

If the generator inverter overheats, has a circuit malfunction, or has an internal short, the inverter transmits this information to the MG ECU via the generator inverter fail signal line.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If the generator inverter detects a circuit malfunction, it will transmit a generator inverter fail signal to the MG ECU. The MG ECU will send information about the malfunction to the hybrid vehicle control ECU. Upon receiving this information, the hybrid vehicle control ECU will illuminate the MIL and set a DTC.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to the wiring diagram for DTC P0A01-725 P0A01.

Refer to the wiring diagram for DTC P0A1A-200 P0A1A.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:
- Before inspecting the high-voltage system or disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly, take safety precautions such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip to prevent electrical shocks. After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
- After disconnecting the service plug grip, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals. After waiting for 10 minutes, check the voltage at the terminals in the inspection point in the inverter with converter assembly. The voltage should be 0 V before beginning work.
NOTICE:
After troubleshooting and repairing all output DTCs, be sure to replace the inverter with converter assembly.

HINT
Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HV)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(c) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.

(d) Check if DTCs are output.

Result:









HINT
- *1: If any INF codes are output for this DTC, refer to the corresponding diagnostic procedure.
- P0A7A-324 may be set due to a malfunction which also causes DTCs in the preceding table to be set. In this case, first troubleshoot the output DTCs in the preceding table. After troubleshooting and repairing all output DTCs, be sure to replace the inverter with converter assembly.

(e) Turn the power switch off.
