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.
Circuit Description
See the description of the boost converter DTC P0A94/442 DC/DC CONVERTER PERFORMANCE .
The HV control ECU uses a temperature sensor, which is built into the boost converter, to detect the temperature of the boost converter.
The boost converter temperature sensor outputs a voltage, which varies between 0 and 5 V in accordance with the changes in the temperature. The higher the boost converter temperature, the lower the output voltage. Conversely, the lower the temperature, the higher the output voltage.
The HV control ECU limits the load based on the signals transmitted by the boost converter temperature sensor, in order to prevent the boost converter from overheating. Furthermore, the HV control ECU detects malfunction in the wiring of the boost converter temperature sensor, as well as in the sensor itself.
