INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Use the intelligent tester to read the freeze frame data and information. Part of the engine running conditions at the time of the malfunction is recorded as freeze frame data and information. This information is useful when troubleshooting the malfunction. (Engine speed, engine load, engine coolant temperature, engine output demand value, ambient temperature, auxiliary battery voltage, intake air temperature, elapsed time after turning the ignition switch on, and other information)

1.INSPECT BATTERY THERMOMETER SENSOR


  1. Resistance check



      A108543E02

    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance:
      Tester Connection
      		Specified Condition
      1 - 2
      		1.91 to 2.05 kΩ
      at 24 to 26°C ( 75 to 79°F)

      HINT:
      The auxiliary battery must be removed to inspect the battery thermometer sensor. Record DTCs, freeze frame data, and other information before removing the auxiliary battery.

2.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HV CONTROL ECU - BATTERY THERMOMETER SENSOR)


    A108016E02

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.

  1. Disconnect the H29 and H34 connectors from the HV control ECU.

  1. Disconnect the B17 battery thermometer sensor connector.

  1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Resistance (Check for open):
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    THB (H29-30) - THB (B17-1)
    		Below 1 Ω
    E2 (H34-28) - E2 (B17-2)
    		Below 1 Ω

    Standard Resistance (Check for short):
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    THB (H29-30) - THB (B17-1) - Body ground
    		10 kΩ or higher
    E2 (H34-28) - E2 (B17-2) - Body ground
    		10 kΩ or higher
