DESCRIPTION
The cause of the malfunction may be the cooling system.
Check whether the grille is blocked, whether coolant is leaking, the radiator fan operating condition and whether coolant has frozen.
Related Parts Check Area | Inspection |
---|---|
Grille blockage, coolant amount, coolant hoses, radiator fan | Check for overheating due to hybrid cooling system malfunction. |
Inverter coolant temperature sensor (built-in inverter) | Check for temperature sensor malfunction. |
Coolant freezing check | Check freeze frame values to determine whether the hybrid coolant was frozen when the DTC was stored. |

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The inverter converts the high-voltage direct current of the HV battery into alternating current for the generator (MG1) and motor (MG2). The inverter generates heat during the conversion process. Therefore, the inverter is cooled by a special cooling system consisting of the inverter water pump assembly, the cooling fan, and a radiator. This cooling system is independent of the engine cooling system. The hybrid vehicle control ECU monitors the inverter water pump assembly, cooling fan and cooling system, and detects malfunctions.
