Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Inspection Procedure
- Before inspecting the high-voltage system, take safety precautions to prevent electrical shocks, such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip. After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reconnecting it while you are servicing the high-voltage system.
- After disconnecting the service plug grip, wait for at least 5 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals.
HINT:
At least 5 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage condenser inside the inverter.
- READ OUTPUT DTC (DTC P0A1F IS OUTPUT)
- Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch ON (IG).
- Turn the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool ON.
- On the hand-held tester, enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/MOBD / HV BATTERY / DTC INFO / TROUBLE CODES.
For the OBD II scan tool, see its instruction manual.
- Read DTCs.
- Result: DTC P0A1F is output
YES: REPLACE BATTERY ECU ASSY (See BATTERY ECU ASSY )
NO: Go to Next Step
- CHECK CONNECTION OF BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR CONNECTOR CAUTION: Wear insulated gloves before performing the following operation.
- Turn the power switch OFF.
- Remove the service plug grip (see SERVICE PLUG GRIP
).NOTE: Turning the power switch ON (READY) with the service plug grip removed could cause malfunction. Therefore, never turn the power switch ON (READY) in this state.
- Check the connection condition of the B13 battery ECU connector.
- OK: Connector has been connected securely and there is no poor connection.
HINT:
Since the battery temperature sensor is not available as a unit and if replacement is required, replace the entire HV battery assembly.
NG: CONNECT SECURELY
