INSPECTION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:
- Before inspecting the high-voltage system or disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly, 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. After waiting, check the voltage at the inspection point in the inverter with converter assembly. The voltage should be 0 V before beginning work.
NOTICE:
Clearing the DTCs using the Techstream when DTC U0110-159, 160, 656 or 657 are detected and the problem is still occurring will cause DTC P0A1B-788 to be stored. However, it is not necessary to perform inspection for DTC P0A1B-788 because DTC P0A1B-788 indicates a communication system malfunction.

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

PROCEDURE

HINT
If the MG1 temperature is high, the resistance varies greatly. Therefore, measure the resistance at least 8 hours after the vehicle is stopped.

Standard resistance:





HINT
- To correct the variation of the measured resistance due to temperature, use the following formula to calculate the resistance at 20°C (68°F).
* R20 = Rt / {1 + 0.00393 X (T - 20)}
- The calculation is based on the following:
* R20: Resistance at 20°C (mOhms)
* Rt: Measured resistance (mOhms)
* T: Temperature when the resistance is measured (°C)

(d) Using a megohmmeter set to 500 V, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

NOTICE:
Be sure to set the megohmmeter to 500 V when performing this test. Using a setting higher than 500 V can result in damage to the component being inspected.
