DTC    P0BD0-314    Generator Inverter Temperature Sensor Circuit Intermittent / Erratic

for Preparation Click here


DESCRIPTION

The MG ECU located in the inverter with converter assembly detects the temperature of the generator inverter using the temperature sensor built into the generator inverter. If necessary, the MG ECU will limit inverter output to help prevent generator inverter overheating. The power management control ECU (HV CPU) also detects malfunctions in the sensor based on the temperature sensor values. The inverter with converter assembly detects malfunctions in the generator inverter temperature sensor and its wiring.

DTC No.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:
  1. 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.
  2. 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 (Click here).

    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 (Click here).

1.CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HYBRID CONTROL)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the power switch on (IG).

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / DTC.

  1. Check if DTCs are output.

    Result:

    		Proceed to
    P0BCD-315 or P0BD0-314 is output.
    		A
    Any of the following DTCs are also output.
    		B


    DTC No.

    HINT:
    P0BCD-315 or P0BD0-314 may be set due to a malfunction which also causes DTCs in the preceding table to be set. In this case, first troubleshoot the output DTCs in the preceding table. Then, perform a test to attempt to reproduce the problems, and check that no DTCs are output.

  1. Turn the power switch off.

2.CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION CONDITION (INVERTER WITH CONVERTER ASSEMBLY CONNECTOR)
A214648

CAUTION:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.

  1. Check that the service plug grip is not installed.

    NOTICE:
    After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the power switch on (READY), unless instructed by the repair manual because this may cause a malfunction.

NOTICE:
Before disconnecting the connector, confirm that it is properly connected by checking that the locking claws are engaged and that the connector does not pull out.

  1. Check the connection of the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly.

    OK:
    The connector is connected securely and there are no contact problems.

    HINT:
    When connecting the connector, insert it with the locking lever in the raised position. Rotate the lever downward and make sure that the connector is pulled into its socket. When the locking lever is in its fully closed position, a click will be heard as its locking claws engage. After the click is heard, pull up on the connector to confirm that it is properly connected.

CONNECT SECURELY
OK


3.CHECK QUANTITY OF HV COOLANT

  1. Check the coolant level in the inverter reserve tank.

  1. Check for coolant leaks.
    Result 
    Result
    		Proceed to
    Coolant leaks are not evident. A sufficient amount of coolant remains in the inverter reserve tank.
    		A
    Coolant leaks are not evident. No coolant remains in the inverter reserve tank.
    		B
    Coolant leaks are evident.
    		C

    HINT:
    After repairing the coolant leaks and adding coolant, perform the "Activate the Water Pump" Active Test (HV Active Test item) and the "Control the Electric Cooling Fan" Active Test (Engine Active Test item) and make sure that there are no malfunctions.

4.CHECK COOLANT HOSE

  1. Check if the hoses of the cooling system are kinked or clogged.

CORRECT THE PROBLEM
OK


5.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (CONTROL THE ELECTRIC COOLING FAN)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the power switch on (IG).

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Electric Cooling Fan.

  1. Perform the "Control the Electric Cooling Fan" Active Test.

    OK:
    The cooling fan rotates.

  1. Turn the power switch off.

6.CHECK HV COOLANT (CHECK FOR CONDITIONS THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED FREEZING)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the power switch on (IG).

  1. Read the freeze frame data Ambient Temperature using the intelligent tester.

  1. Check if the freeze frame data Ambient Temperature is below freezing.

    Result:
    Result
    		Proceed to
    Ambient Temperature value is below freezing temperature of the HV coolant
    		A
    Ambient Temperature value is above freezing temperature of the HV coolant
    		B

    HINT:
    1. HV coolant (SLLC) with a 30% concentration freezes at -15°C (5°F) and HV coolant (SLLC) with a 50% concentration freezes at -35°C (-31°F).
    2. If the HV coolant freezes in the HV radiator or inverter water pump assembly, the coolant temperature in the inverter with converter assembly rises because the HV coolant cannot circulate. As a result, a DTC may be set.
    3. A DTC is set when the inverter water pump impeller cannot rotate due to freezing of the HV coolant.
    4. If a DTC is set due to freezing of HV coolant, the problem cannot be reproduced. Judge whether freezing of HV coolant occurred according to the freeze point of the HV coolant, HV coolant change history and ambient temperature when the DTC was set.

  1. Turn the power switch off.
