DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE


1. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

With CONSULT
1.Turn power switch OFF.
2.Set the vehicle to READY.
3.Operate the automatic air conditioning system.
4.Set the temperature to full hot and wait at least 2 seconds.
5.Select "Self Diagnostic Result" mode of "HVAC" using CONSULT.
6.Check DTC.
Is DTC detected?
YES- Refer to "Diagnosis Procedure" .
NO- INSPECTION END


Diagnosis Procedure


WARNING:
- Because hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles contain a high voltage battery, there is the risk of electric shock, electric leakage, or similar accidents if the high voltage component and vehicle are handled incorrectly. Be sure to follow the correct work procedures when performing inspection and maintenance.
- Be sure to remove the service plug in order to disconnect the high voltage circuits before performing inspection or maintenance of high voltage system harnesses and parts.
- To prevent the removed service plug from being connected by mistake during the procedure, always carry it in your pocket or put it in the tool box.
- Be sure to wear insulating protective equipment consisting of glove, shoes, face shield and glasses before beginning work on the high voltage system.
- Clearly identify the persons responsible for high voltage work and ensure that other persons do not touch the vehicle. When not working, cover high voltage parts with an insulating cover sheet or similar item to prevent other persons from contacting them.
- Refer to "High Voltage Precautions" High Voltage Precautions.

CAUTION:
There is the possibility of a malfunction occurring if the vehicle is changed to READY status while the service plug is removed. Therefore do not change the vehicle to READY status unless instructed to do so in the Service Manual.

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


CAUTION:
Erase DTC after the work is completed.

1. PRECONDITIONING


WARNING:
Disconnect the high voltage. Refer to "How to Disconnect High Voltage" Service and Repair.
Check voltage in high voltage circuit. (Check that condenser are discharged.)
1.Lift up the vehicle and remove the Li-ion battery under covers. Refer to "Exploded View" Service and Repair.
2.Disconnect high voltage connector from front side of Li-ion battery. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Service and Repair.





3.Measure voltage between high voltage harness terminals.
DANGER:


Touching high voltage components without using the appropriate protective equipment will cause electrocution.
Standard: 5 V or less

CAUTION:
For voltage measurements, use a tester which can measure to 500V or higher.
- GO TO 2.

2. CHECK THE CONNECTION-DETECTING OF PTC ELEMENTS HEATER HIGH VOLTAGE HARNESS

CONNECTOR
1.Connect 12V battery negative terminal.
2.Visually check the connection-detecting state of PTC elements heater high voltage harness connector.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 3.
NO- GO TO 4.

3. CHECK CONNECTION-DETECTING TERMINAL OF PTC ELEMENTS HEATER HIGH VOLTAGE HAR-

NESS CONNECTOR
1.Disconnect PTC elements heater high voltage harness connector.
2.Visually check that there is no deformation in the connection-detecting terminal of the PTC elements heater high voltage harness connector.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 4.
NO- Replace high voltage harness between DC/DC-J/B and PTC elements heater.

4. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-I

1.Connect PTC elements heater high voltage harness connector.
2.Perform DTC confirmation procedure. Refer to "DTC Logic" .
3.Check DTC.
Is DTC detected?
YES- GO TO 5.
NO- INSPECTION END

5. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-II

1.Turn power switch OFF.
2.Repeat step 3 and 4.
3.Check DTC.
Is DTC detected?
YES- Replace PTC elements heater. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Removal And Installation.
NO- INSPECTION END
