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.
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 wait for 15 seconds or more. [*1]
[*1]: 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 / Motor Generator / 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 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.
P0A1B1F 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.)

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.
Disconnect the inverter with converter assembly connector.
Remove the IGCT-MAIN NO. 1 relay from the No. 1 engine room relay block and No. 1 junction block assembly.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| A192-1 (IGC1) - 3 (IGCT-MAIN NO. 1 relay holder) | Ignition switch off | Below 1 Ω |
| A192-9 (IGC2) - 3 (IGCT-MAIN NO. 1 relay holder) | Ignition switch off | Below 1 Ω |
| A192-4 (GND1) - Body ground | Ignition switch off | Below 1 Ω |
| A192-12 (GND2) - Body ground | Ignition switch off | Below 1 Ω |
Install the IGCT relay.
Reconnect the inverter with converter assembly connector.

Check for intermittent problems.
Check the connection and terminal contact pressure of the connectors and wire harnesses between the auxiliary battery and the inverter with converter assembly.
There are no abnormalities in the wire harnesses and connectors.
