MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
This DTC is stored when the inverter water pump assembly is malfunctioning. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:
Inverter water pump assembly internal malfunction
Open or short in wire harness
Improperly connected connector
Foreign matter in inverter water pump assembly
Hybrid cooling system coolant is frozen
If this DTC is stored, the driving torque may be restricted.
The inverter water pump assembly transmits rotation speed information to the hybrid vehicle control ECU. The hybrid vehicle control ECU monitors the speed and detects malfunctions.

The inverter water pump assembly operates when the ignition switch is ON (READY).
The hybrid vehicle control ECU monitors speed of the inverter water pump assembly. If there is an abnormality in speed, the hybrid vehicle control ECU will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY). [*1]
Wait for 2 minutes or more. [*2]
[*1] to [*2] : Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Utility / All Readiness.
Check the DTC judgment result.
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform the normal judgment procedure again.
Refer to the wiring diagram for Cooling System.
If this vehicle is jump started, etc. and excessive voltage is applied to the auxiliary battery, the inverter water pump assembly may suspend control as a self-protection function and store DTCs.
(When the auxiliary battery voltage returns to normal, the inverter water pump assembly will resume normal operation. In this case it is not necessary to replace the inverter water pump assembly.)
P0C7396 may be output as a result of the malfunction indicated by the DTCs in table below.
The chart above is listed in inspection order of priority.
Check DTCs that are output at the same time by following the listed order. (The main cause of the malfunction can be determined without performing unnecessary inspections.)

| Sensor and actuator circuit malfunction | P314A31 | Motor Electronics Coolant Pump "A" No Signal |
Be sure to perform the inspection with the auxiliary battery voltage at 11 V or more.
When the auxiliary battery voltage is low, the inverter water pump assembly may not operate.
When the inverter water pump assembly signal line (SWP - IWP) is open or its connection is faulty, the inverter water pump assembly is operated forcibly.
According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.
