DTC    P0A93-347    Inverter Cooling System Performance

for Preparation Click here


DESCRIPTION

The inverter converts the high-voltage direct current of the HV battery into the alternating current for the Motor, Generator, and Rear Motor. The inverter generates heat during the conversion process, and this heat could damage the inverter if a cooling system is unavailable. Therefore, similar to the Motor and Generator, the inverter is cooled by a special system consisting of an electric water pump, cooling fan, and radiator. This cooling system is independent of the engine cooling system. The HV control ECU monitors the electric water pump, cooling fan, and cooling system, and detects a malfunction.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If the HV control ECU detects malfunction in the electric water pump, fan or radiator, it 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.
