P0A78-267 - Drive Motor "A" Inverter Performance

DESCRIPTION

The inverter contains a three-phase bridge circuit, which consists of six power transistors (IGBTs) each for MG1 and MG2. The inverter converts high-voltage direct current from the HV battery into three-phase alternating current for MG1 and MG2; it also converts three-phase alternating current supplied by MG1 and MG2 into direct current for the HV battery. The MG ECU controls the actuation of the power transistors (IGBTs). The inverter transmits information necessary for control, such as amperage and voltage, to the MG ECU.





The MG ECU uses an inverter voltage sensor, which is built into the inverter, to detect boosted high voltage to allow control of the voltage boost.

The MG ECU monitors the inverter voltage sensor and detects the following malfunctions.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The MG ECU monitors the inverter voltage (VH) sensor circuit. If the MG ECU detects an open or short in the VH sensor circuit, the power management control ECU (HV CPU) will illuminate the MIL and set a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN





1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

2. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.

3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

4. Turn the power switch off.

5. Turn the power switch on (READY) and after a few seconds, turn the power switch off. [A]

6. Repeat [A] 3 times. [B]

7. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.

8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes. [C]

9. Check that permanent DTCs are cleared.

10. If the permanent DTCs are not cleared, perform the universal trip, and then check for permanent DTCs again.

HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. REPLACE INVERTER WITH CONVERTER ASSEMBLY

(a) Replace the inverter with converter assembly Components.

HINT
The signal line from the inverter voltage (VH) sensor is connected to the MG ECU inside the inverter with converter assembly. If P0A78-266 or P0A78-267 is output, replace the inverter with converter assembly.
