MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
These DTCs are stored when the rear motor temperature sensor output is abnormal. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:
Hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly internal malfunction
Internal rear motor temperature sensor malfunction
Open or short in rear motor temperature sensor
The connectors are not connected properly
Foreign matter or water on the connector terminals
Open or short in wire harness
If any of these DTCs are stored, the rear motor temperature sensor is malfunctioning and the self-protection function may not operate. Therefore under certain high load driving condition, the temperature of the rear motor (MGR) becomes high. If the self-protection function does not operate, the rear motor (MGR) may malfunction and cause the vehicle to enter fail-safe mode.
The resistance of the thermistor built into the rear motor temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the rear motor temperature. The lower the rear motor temperature, the higher the thermistor resistance. Conversely, the higher the rear motor temperature, the lower the resistance.

|---|---|
| P0A3011 | Rear Motor Temperature |
| P0A3015 |
After confirming that DTC P0A3011 or P0A3015 is output, use the GTS to check "Rear Motor Temperature" in the Data List.
| Displayed Temperature | Malfunction |
|---|---|
| -40°C (-40°F) | Open circuit or short to +B |
| 215°C (419°F) | Short to ground |
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 power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the power switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
With the power switch on (IG) and wait for 5 seconds or more.
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 driving pattern again.
