DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION

(a) The motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) (inverter with converter assembly) has a self-diagnosis system. If the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU), motor generator system or a component is not working properly, the ECU records the conditions that relate to the fault. The ECU also illuminates the master warning light in the combination meter assembly and provides other appropriate messages on the multi-information display, such as the HV system warning message, HV battery warning message or discharge warning message.

HINT:

The master warning light will illuminate if the motor generator control system is malfunctioning and will blink when in inspection mode.

When troubleshooting OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics) vehicles, the Techstream (complying with SAE J1978) must be connected to the DLC3 (Data Link Connector 3) of the vehicle. Various data in the vehicle motor generator control ECU can then be read.
OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on-board computer illuminates the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on the instrument panel when the computer detects a malfunction in:
1. The emission control system components.
2. The powertrain control components (which affect vehicle emissions).
3. The computer itself.
  In addition, the applicable DTCs prescribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the motor generator control ECU memory. If the malfunction does not recur in 3 consecutive trips, the MIL turns off automatically but the DTCs remain recorded in the motor generator control ECU memory.
To check for DTCs, connect the Techstream to the DLC3. The Techstream displays DTCs, freeze frame data, and a variety of hybrid control system data. The DTCs and freeze frame data can be cleared with the Techstream. In order to enhance the OBD function on vehicles and develop the off-board diagnosis system, Controller Area Network (CAN) communication is used in this system. CAN is a network which uses a pair of data transmission lines spanning multiple computers and sensors. It allows for high speed communications between the systems and simplification of the wire harness connections.

2 TRIP DETECTION LOGIC

Following is the description for storage of DTC using "2 trip detection logic".

When a malfunction is first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in the motor generator control ECU memory (1st trip). If the same malfunction is detected during the next drive cycle, the MIL is illuminated (2nd trip).

FREEZE FRAME DATA

The motor generator control ECU records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was moving or stationary, whether the engine was warmed up or not, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

AUXILIARY BATTERY VOLTAGE

Standard Voltage:

Switch Condition	Specified Condition
Power switch on (IG)	11 to 14 V

If voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the auxiliary battery.
NOTICE:

After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)

(a) The MIL is illuminated when the power switch is first turned on (IG), before the READY indicator illuminates.

(b) When the READY indicator illuminates, the MIL should turn off. If the MIL remains illuminated, the diagnosis system has detected a malfunction or abnormality in a system.

HINT:

If the MIL is not illuminated when the power switch is first turned on (IG), check the MIL circuit.

HINT:

The "Example of Multiple DTCs being Output" below is only one example of a malfunction condition. Therefore, a determination should not be made based on this alone.

Example of Multiple DTCs being Output:

The power supply of the microcomputer decreases while the vehicle is being driven.
1. DTCs are detected and the vehicle behavior is as follows.
Detected DTCs
- P06B01C (Generator Control Module Position Sensor REF Power Source Circuit Voltage Out of Range): Power source malfunction*
- P0C5016 (Drive Motor "A" Position Sensor Circuit "A" Circuit Voltage Below Threshold): Sensor and actuator circuit malfunction*
- P0A3F16 (Drive Motor "A" Position Sensor Circuit Voltage Below Threshold): Sensor and actuator circuit malfunction*
- P1CAD49 (Drive Motor "A" Position Sensor Internal Electronic Failure): Sensor and actuator circuit malfunction*
- P1CAC49 (Generator Position Sensor Internal Electronic Failure): Sensor and actuator circuit malfunction*
  - *: Check the priority level in the "DTC Order of Priority" chart above.
Vehicle Behavior
- System stopped
The inspection order of priority is: Microcomputer circuit → power source circuit → communication circuit → sensor and actuator circuit → system circuit. Therefore, check the repair procedure for P0B601C.
Follow the repair procedures and replace the inverter assembly. Finish the repair.

It is possible to check only the specified malfunctioning parts without having to check irrelevant parts.
