Lexus ES: Drive Motor "A" Performance (P0A9000)
DTC SUMMARY
MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that magnetic force deterioration of the permanent magnet located in the rotor inside the motor (MG2) has been detected. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:
| Area | Main Malfunction Description |
|---|---|
| Inverter | Inverter with converter assembly internal circuit malfunction |
| Hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly |
|
| Inverter low-voltage circuit | The connectors are not connected properly |
| Motor cable (for MG2) |
|
| Hybrid vehicle control ECU | Hybrid vehicle control ECU internal circuit malfunction |
DESCRIPTION
When three-phase alternating current flows through the three-phase windings of the stator coil, a rotating magnetic field is generated in the motor (MG2). The system controls the rotation of the magnetic field in accordance with the rotating position and speed of the rotor. As a result, the permanent magnets provided in the rotor are pulled in the direction of rotation, generating torque. The generated torque is almost proportional to the amount of current. The system controls motor speed by regulating the frequency of the alternating current. Furthermore, the system properly controls the rotating magnetic field and the angle of the rotor magnets in order to generate high torque in an efficient manner, even at high speeds.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Warning Indicate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0A9000 | Drive Motor "A" Performance | Motor magnetic force deterioration: Decrease in the magnetic force of the motor (MG2) is detected. (1 trip detection logic) |
| Comes on | Master Warning Light: Comes on |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The motor generator control ECU monitors the motor. If the motor generator control ECU detects a reduction in the magnetic force of the motor or an inphase short, it interprets this as a motor malfunction and the motor generator control ECU will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

[*1]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Motor Generator / Utility / All Readiness.
-
Check the DTC judgment result.

-
Before the following operations are conducted, take precautions to prevent electric shock by turning the power switch off, wearing insulated gloves, and removing the service plug grip from HV battery.
- Inspecting the high-voltage system
- Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly
- Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the HV battery
-
To prevent electric shock, make sure to remove the service plug grip to cut off the high voltage circuit before servicing the vehicle.
-
After removing the service plug grip from the HV battery, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
-
After removing the service plug grip, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals. After waiting for 10 minutes, check the voltage at the terminals in the inspection point in the inverter with converter assembly. The voltage should be 0 V before beginning work.

HINT:
Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.

Without waiting for 10 minutes
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.
