The inlet air temperature sensor (HV battery) is mounted on the HV battery. The resistance of the sensor varies in accordance with changes in the intake air temperature. The characteristics of the inlet air temperature sensor are the same as those of the battery temperature sensors (Click here Engine / Hybrid System>HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL>HYBRID BATTERY SYSTEM>P0A9B11202307,999999,_51,_144957,_0604234,RM100000002BTP3_09,P0A9B11). The battery ECU assembly uses signals from the inlet air temperature sensor to control the air volume of the battery cooling blower assembly.

After checking for the above DTCs, check the hybrid system Data List item "Hybrid/EV Battery Cooling Fan Intake Air Temperature 1" using the GTS.
| Displayed Temperature | Malfunction |
|---|---|
| -45°C (-49°F) or less | Open or +B short circuit |
| 95°C (203°F) or more | GND short |
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.
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.
With ignition switch ON and wait for 5 seconds or more.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / HV Battery / 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 driving pattern 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.
Check for DTCs.
