P0A78-510

HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM: P0A78-510: Drive Motor "A" Inverter Performance
P0A78-510 - Drive Motor "A" Inverter Performance

DESCRIPTION

For a description of the inverter, P0A78-266.

If the inverter receives a motor gate shutdown signal from the MG ECU, it will turn all power transistors off which are activating MG2 to forcibly stop MG2 operation.

The MG ECU monitors motor gate shutdown signals and detects a malfunction.





HINT
- When P0A78-510 has been stored, the hybrid system cannot be restarted until the DTC is cleared.
- If the problem symptom cannot be reproduced, leaving the vehicle with the power switch on (READY) and neutral (N) selected for 1 minute will make it easier to reproduce the symptom.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The MG ECU monitors the current to MG2. If current passes to MG2 while the vehicle is stopped with the power switch on (IG) or neutral (N) selected, the MG ECU will detects an abnormality. The hybrid vehicle control ECU will illuminate the MIL and set a DTC.
