DESCRIPTION


  1. A115154E01
    The battery smart unit and the HV control ECU calculate the SOC (state of charge) of the HV battery through the accumulated amperage in the HV battery. The battery smart unit sends the condition of the HV battery to the HV control ECU. Then the HV control ECU calculates the SOC (state of charge) based on the information and controls HV battery charge and discharge according to the driving condition.

    DTC No.
    		DTC Detection Condition
    		Trouble Area
    P0A7F
    1. Internal resistance of HV battery is higher than the standard (1 trip detection)
    2. Difference in the capacity between battery blocks is larger than the standard (2 trip detection)
    1. HV battery
    2. Battery smart unit

    HINT:
    P0A7F will not output unless the vehicle is driven for approximately 10 minutes after clearing the DTC.


MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The battery smart unit calculates the resistance of the HV battery through amperage and voltage, and uses this resistance to determine the extent of deterioration of the HV battery. If the battery smart unit detects that the resistance of the HV battery has exceeded the standard, it determines that a malfunction has occurred. In addition, the battery smart unit monitors the SOC, and if the difference between the maximum and minimum SOC values exceeds the standard, it determines that a malfunction has occurred. When either of the malfunction detection conditions is met, the HV control ECU illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.
