Inspection Procedure
CAUTION:
- Before inspecting the high-voltage system, take safety precautions such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip to prevent electrical shocks. After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
- After disconnecting the service plug grip, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals.
HINT:
- Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.
- After completing repairs, restart the system (turn the power switch on (READY)) and recheck for DTCs. (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR )
- CHECK AUXILIARY BATTERY
- Measure the voltage between the terminals of the auxiliary battery.
Standard voltage:
12.0 to 12.8 V (Battery electrolyte temperature: 20°C)
NG: CHARGE OR REPLACE AUXILIARY BATTERY
OK: GO TO Next Step
- Measure the voltage between the terminals of the auxiliary battery.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (IGCT VOLTAGE) CAUTION: Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
- Remove the service plug grip. (See REMOVAL )
- Remove the luggage compartment trim cover front. (See REMOVAL )
- Disconnect the frame wire. (See REMOVAL )
- Remove the battery bracket sub-assembly. (See REMOVAL )
- Connect the auxiliary battery positive terminal cable of the frame wire. (See INSTALLATION )
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition IGCT (N2-1) - GND (N2-5) 8.6 V or higher
OK: REPLACE BATTERY SMART UNIT (See REMOVAL )
NG: GO TO Next Step
- CHECK FUSE (IGCT NO. 3 FUSE)
- Remove the IGCT No. 3 fuse from the engine room R/B No. 1.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:
Below 1 Ω
NG: REPLACE FUSE (IGCT NO.3 FUSE)
OK: GO TO Next Step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY SMART UNIT - INTEGRATION RELAY (IGCT RELAY)) CAUTION: Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
- Install the IGCT No. 3 fuse to the engine room R/B No. 1.
- Remove the integration relay from the engine room R/B No. 1.
- Disconnect connector N2 from the battery smart unit.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition IGCT (N2-1) - 1V-8 Below 1 Ω
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: CHECK AND REPAIR POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT
