P310 HYBRID BATTERY CONTROL: HYBRID BATTERY SYSTEM: P0A80: Replace Hybrid Battery Pack

DTC P0A80 - Replace Hybrid Battery Pack

DESCRIPTION
- The HV battery uses nickel metal-hydride batteries and does not require external charging. The HV control ECU controls the SOC (state of charge) of the HV battery at a constant level during driving. The HV battery is composed of 30 modules, and each module consists of eight 1.2 V cells in series. The battery smart unit monitors battery block voltage at 15 locations. Each battery block is composed of 2 modules in a set.









HINT: P0A80 will not output unless the vehicle is driven for approximately 10 minutes after clearing the DTC.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The battery smart unit, which monitors the voltage of the battery blocks, determines that a malfunction has occurred if a voltage difference between the battery blocks exceeds the standard. When the malfunction detection condition is satisfied, the HV control ECU illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT (DTC P0A1F IS OUTPUT)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(c) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.
(d) Read output DTCs Hybrid Battery System.
Result:






B -- GO TO DTC CHART (P0A1F)
A -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK BATTERY SMART UNIT
(a) Ensure the safety of the areas in front and at the back of the vehicle.
(b) Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
(c) Put the vehicle in to the READY - on state.
(d) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List / Battery Block Vol - V01 to V15.
(e) Fully warm up the engine and turn the air conditioning off.
(f) Firmly depress the brake pedal with your left foot.
(g) Move the shift lever to the D position.
(h) Record each battery block voltage from the data list (Battery Block Vol - V01 to V15) while fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
(i) Compare the battery block voltages (Battery Block Vol - V01 to V15) between the even and odd number groups in each combination shown in the table below.





(j) Check if the difference in voltage of each combination is 0.3 V or more.
Result:





HINT: Difference in voltage of each combination may be 0.3 V or more due to a battery smart unit internal error.

B -- REPLACE BATTERY SMART UNIT
A -- REPLACE HV BATTERY
