DTC 586

HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM: P0A78-586: Drive Motor "A" Inverter Performance
P0A78-586 - Drive Motor "A" Inverter Performance

DESCRIPTION

The inverter contains a three-phase bridge circuit, which consists of six power transistors (IGBTs) each for MG1 and MG2. The inverter converts high-voltage direct current from the HV battery into three-phase alternating current for MG1 and MG2; it also converts three-phase alternating current supplied by MG1 and MG2 into direct current for the HV battery. The MG ECU controls the actuation of the power transistors (IGBTs). The inverter transmits information necessary for control, such as amperage and voltage, to the MG ECU.





The MG ECU uses a voltage sensor, which is built into the inverter, to detect boosted high voltage (VH) to allow control of the voltage boost.

The inverter voltage sensor outputs voltage that varies between 0 and 5 V in accordance with the changes in the boosted voltage. The higher the boosted voltage, the higher the sensor output voltage, and the lower the boosted voltage, the lower the sensor output voltage.

The MG ECU monitors the inverter voltage and detects malfunctions.

The signal line from the inverter voltage (VH) sensor is connected to the MG ECU inside the inverter with converter assembly. If P0A78-586 is output, replace the inverter with converter assembly.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The hybrid vehicle control ECU monitors the inverter voltage (VH) sensor signal. If the hybrid vehicle control ECU detects a fault in the sensor signal, the hybrid vehicle control ECU interprets this as a VH sensor failure. The hybrid vehicle control ECU will illuminate the MIL and set a DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

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.
* P0A78-586 may be output due to a malfunction which causes the DTCs in the table above to be output. In this case, first troubleshoot the output DTCs in the table above. Then, perform a reproduction test to check that no DTCs are output.
(e) Turn the power switch off.
