P186A

DTC P186A: High side 3 system (Overcurrent)

CAUTION:

- If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
- Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

TC-SST-ECU checks that the high side 3 circuit is normal.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The supply current to the high side 3 is determined to be overcurrent.

MONITOR EXECUTION

- Continuous

LOGIC FLOW CHARTS (Monitor Sequence)





DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

- Voltage of battery: 8 V or more.
- Voltage of battery: 16.5 V or less.
- High side 3 switch: ON.
JUDGMENT CRITERIA

- FET (Field Effect Transistor) current: 8.1 A or more, and FET (Field Effect Transistor) output: 100 mV or less. (1 second)

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

The status with the current of the FET channel shunt 8.1 A or less and with the FET channel output 100 mV or more continues for 1 second.

PROBABLE CAUSES

- Malfunction of TC-SST-ECU

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Required Special Tools:

- MB991958 Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
- MB991827 M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910 M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Scan tool CAN bus diagnostics

Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES Go to Step 2.
NO Repair the CAN bus lines. CAN Bus Diagnostics Chart.) After repairing the CAN bus line, go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check whether the DTC is reset.

After 5 seconds with the engine idle status, check that the DTC is reset.

Q. Is DTC No. P186A set?

YES Replace the transaxle assembly. (Refer to Removal and Replacement.)
NO Intermittent malfunction. How to Cope With Intermittent Malfunctions.)
