The cause of the malfunction may be the high-voltage circuit of the motor.
Check the motor internal resistance and the connection condition of the high-voltage line between the inverter and motor to check whether there is an open or short circuit.
| Area | Inspection |
|---|---|
| Motor cable connection check | Check for open or short circuit in the connection condition of the cable from the inverter to the motor. |
| Motor and motor cable | Check the motor (including cable) internal resistance and insulation resistance with body ground to check for an open or short circuit. |
This diagnostic procedure is referenced to in the diagnostic procedure of several DTCs.
If the result of this diagnostic procedure is normal, proceed as directed in the procedure for the DTC.
Refer to the precautions before inspecting high voltage circuit.
After the ignition switch is turned off, there may be a waiting time before disconnecting the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
When disconnecting and reconnecting the auxiliary battery
When disconnecting and reconnecting the auxiliary battery, there is an automatic learning function that completes learning when the respective system is used.
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
Check that the service plug grip is not installed.
After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the ignition switch to ON (READY), unless instructed by the repair manual because this may cause a malfunction.
Remove the inverter cover from the inverter with converter assembly.
Check that the bolts for the motor cable are tightened to the specified torque, the motor cable is connected securely, and there are no contact problems.

Using a milliohmmeter, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
If the motor (MG2) temperature is high, the resistance will vary greatly from the specification. Therefore, measure the resistance at least 8 hours after the vehicle is stopped.
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Y2-1 (W) - Y2-2 (U) | Ignition switch off | 55.1 to 62.3 mΩ [*1] |
| Y2-2 (U) - Y2-3 (V) | Ignition switch off | 55.1 to 62.6 mΩ [*2] |
| Y2-3 (V) - Y2-1 (W) | Ignition switch off | 55.3 to 62.7 mΩ [*3] |
To correct the variation of the measured resistance due to temperature, use the following formula to calculate the resistance at 20°C (68°F).
R20 = Rt / {1 + 0.00393 X (T - 20)}
The calculation is based on the following:
R20: Resistance at 20°C (68°F) (mΩ)
Rt: Measured resistance (mΩ)
T: Temperature when the resistance is measured (°C (°F).)
Check the difference in measured resistance values according to the table below.
| Inspection Item | Specified Condition |
|---|---|
| [*1] - [*2] | -1.4 to 1.2 mΩ |
| [*2] - [*3] | -1.5 to 1.2 mΩ |
| [*3] - [*1] | -1.1 to 1.6 mΩ |
Using a megohmmeter set to 500 V, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Be sure to set the megohmmeter to 500 V when performing this test. Using a setting higher than 500 V can result in damage to the component being inspected.
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Y2-1 (W) - Body ground and shield ground | Ignition switch off | 100 MΩ or higher |
| Y2-2 (U) - Body ground and shield ground | Ignition switch off | 100 MΩ or higher |
| Y2-3 (V) - Body ground and shield ground | Ignition switch off | 100 MΩ or higher |
