MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The MG ECU (in the inverter with converter assembly) performs many diagnostic tests to verify proper operation of internal ECU systems. In one of these tests, the MG ECU checks for an R/D (Resolver/Digital converter) malfunction involving the motor resolver. If the MG ECU detects an R/D converter error, it will conclude that there is an internal malfunction involving the motor resolver and the hybrid vehicle control ECU will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

Drive Motor "A" Temperature Sensor Voltage Out of Range (P0A2A1C,P0A2A1F)

DTC SUMMARY

MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

These DTCs are stored when the motor temperature sensor output is abnormal. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:

Hybrid vehicle control ECU malfunction
  • Hybrid vehicle control ECU internal malfunction
Motor temperature sensor malfunction
  • Internal motor temperature sensor malfunction
  • Open or short in motor temperature sensor
Wire harness between the motor temperature sensor and hybrid vehicle control ECU
  • The connectors are not connected properly
  • Foreign matter or water on the connector terminals
  • Open or short in wire harness

HINT:

If any of these DTCs are stored, the motor temperature sensor is malfunctioning and the self-protection function may not operate. Therefore under certain high load driving condition, the temperature of the motor (MG2) becomes high. If the self-protection function does not operate, the motor (MG2) may malfunction and cause the vehicle to enter fail-safe mode.
