MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
These DTCs are stored when the 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 motor temperature sensor malfunction
Open or short in 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 motor temperature sensor is malfunctioning and the self-protection function may not operate. Therefore under certain high load driving condition, the temperature of the motor (MG2) becomes high. If the self-protection function does not operate, the motor (MG2) may malfunction and cause the vehicle to enter fail-safe mode.
The resistance of the thermistor built into the motor temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the motor (MG2) temperature. The lower the motor (MG2) temperature, the higher the thermistor resistance. Conversely, the higher the motor (MG2) temperature, the lower the resistance.
The term "drive motor A" indicates the motor (MG2).

After confirming that DTC P0A2A11 or P0A2A15 is output, use the GTS to check "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.
When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" 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 power switch on (IG) and wait for 5 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 / 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.
Check the connection condition of the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly connectors and the contact pressure of each terminal. Check the terminals for deformation, and check the connector for water ingress and foreign matter.
- The connector is connected securely.
- The terminals are not deformed and are connected securely.
- No water or foreign matter in the connector.
