Lexus ES: Generator Inverter Actuator Stuck Open (P0A7A72)
DTC SUMMARY
MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that current does not flow as commanded due to a generator output circuit malfunction. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:
- Inverter with converter assembly internal circuit malfunction
- The connectors are not connected properly
DESCRIPTION
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Warning Indicate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0A7A72 | Generator Inverter Actuator Stuck Open | Malfunction is detected when offset component occurs in current flowing through generator with one phase open malfunction (1 trip detection logic) |
| Comes on | Master Warning Light: Comes on |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The motor generator control ECU monitors the generator. If the motor generator control ECU detects a malfunction of the generator, the ECU will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
- Turn the power switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
- Apply the parking brake and secure the wheels using chocks.
- Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
- Turn the power switch on (READY)
-
Move the shift lever to D, and then firmly depress the brake pedal while fully depressing the accelerator pedal. Keep the brake pedal and accelerator pedal pressed for approximately 5 seconds. [*1]

[*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.
HINT:
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
-
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.

Without waiting for 10 minutes
HINT:
Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.
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.
