DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0A92
521
Generator system malfunction
  1. Hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly
  2. w/ converter inverter assembly (MG ECU)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The MG ECU monitors the hybrid vehicle generator system. If the MG ECU detects a malfunction in the Generator system, HV control ECU illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:
  1. Before inspecting the high-voltage system, take safety precautions to prevent electrical shocks, such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip. After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
  2. After disconnecting the service plug grip, wait for at least 5 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals.

HINT:
At least 5 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the w/ converter inverter assembly.

1.READ OUTPUT DTC (HV)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

    HINT:
    1. Turning the ignition switch to the ON position with the service plug grip and inverter cover removed causes interlock switch system DTC P0AD-350 output.
    2. P0A92-521 may be output due to a malfunction which causes the DTCs in the table above to be output. In this case, first troubleshoot the output DTCs in the table above. Then, perform a reproduction test to check that no DTCs are output.



YES
GO TO DTC CHART
NO


2.CHECK CONNECTION CONDITION OF MG ECU CONNECTOR (LOOSENESS AND POOR CONTACT)

CAUTION:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.

  1. Turn the ignition switch off and remove the service plug grip. (Click here)

    NOTICE:
    Do not put the vehicle into the READY-on state with the service plug grip removed as this may cause a malfunction.

  1. Remove the inverter cover. (Click here)

    NOTICE:
    1. Wrap the interlock round terminal for the inverter cover with vinyl tape to prevent it from shorting to ground.
    2. Prevent water in the reservoir tank from entering the inverter.
    3. Removing the inverter cover causes the MG ECU board to be exposed. Therefore, temporarily install the inverter cover for each area to be inspected.

  1. Check the connections of the MG ECU connectors.

    OK:
    Connectors are connected securely and there is no poor connection.



NG
CONNECT SECURELY
OK


3.CHECK W/ CONVERTER INVERTER ASSEMBLY (GENERATOR)

CAUTION:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.



    A105181

  1. Check that the service plug grip is moved.

  1. Check that the bolts for the three-phase AC cable for Generator are tightened to the specified torque.

Torque:
10 N*m{ 102 kgf*cm , 7 ft.*lbf }



NG
TIGHTEN THEM TO SPECIFIED TORQUE
OK


4.CHECK HYBRID VEHICLE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY (GENERATOR)

CAUTION:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.

  1. Check that the service plug grip is removed.



    A108061E05

  1. Disconnect the three-phase AC cables for Motor and Generator from the w/ converter inverter assembly.

  1. Using a milliohmmeter, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    U - V
    		36 to 43 mΩ (20°C)
    V - W
    		36 to 43 mΩ (20°C)
    W - U
    		36 to 43 mΩ (20°C)

    NOTICE:
    If the Generator temperature is too high, the resistance changes greatly. Therefore, measure the resistance at least 8 hours after the vehicle is stopped.

  1. To correct the resistance varying depending on the temperature, use the following formula to calculate the resistance at 20°C.

    HINT:
    1. R20 = Rt / {1 + 0.00393 X (T - 20)}
    2. R20: Resistance at 20 °C (mΩ)
    3. Rt: Measured resistance (mΩ)
    4. T: Temperature when the resistance is measured (°C)

  1. Calculate the difference between the maximum and minimum resistance.

    Standard resistance:
    Difference is 3 mΩ or less

  1. Using a megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    U - Body ground and shielded wire ground
    		10 MΩ or higher
    V - Body ground and shielded wire ground
    		10 MΩ or higher
    W - Body ground and shielded wire ground
    		10 MΩ or higher
