P3117




Description

This DTC shows a decrease in insulation resistance of the high voltage circuit.
When detecting a decrease in insulation resistance of the high voltage circuit during use of air-conditioner, VCM turns ON/OFF the electric compressor and the PTC elements heater to check changes in insulation resistance and identifies a decrease in insulation resistance of the air-conditioning system.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE


1. PRECONDITIONING

- Turn power switch OFF and wait at least 20 seconds.
- Make sure that 12V battery voltage is 11 V or more.
- GO TO 2.

2. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-I

With CONSULT
1.Set the vehicle as the following condition and wait at least 30 minutes.





2.Check DTC.
Is DTC detected?

1.Set the vehicle as the following condition and wait at least 30 minutes.





2.Check DTC.
Is DTC detected?
YES- Proceed to "Diagnosis Procedure"
NO- INSPECTION END


Diagnosis Procedure


1. CHECK A/C REFRIGERANT GAS

Interview the customer and check maintenance records to see if there is possibility that a refrigerant gas other than EV specific refrigerant gas is mixed in A/C refrigerant gas.
NOTE:
If A/C refrigerant gas other than EV specific refrigerant gas is used, insulation resistance may decrease.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES-1 (DTC P3117 is detected during Step 1 of DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE)-Replace electric compressor. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Removal And Installation.
YES-2 (DTC P3117 is detected during Step 1 of DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE)-Replace PTC elements heater. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Removal And Installation.
NO- Change A/C refrigerant gas and compressor oil.
