Title: HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM (for 2WD with NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE BATTERY): Shut Down Signal Circuit; 2019 - 2020 MY RAV4 HV [11/2018 - 08/2020]

Shut Down Signal Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The cause of the malfunction may be a shutdown signal.

Check whether there is a shutdown signal +B short circuit.

Related Parts Check

Area

Inspection

HSDN terminal

Check that the HSDN terminal voltage decreases to check for an open or short circuit while READY off (IG ON).

Hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, inverter, wire harness

Check for open or short circuit in hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, inverter and wire harness.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Power supply to the motor is cut off due to a shutdown signal sent from the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly to the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

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.

CAUTION:

  • Before the following operations are conducted, take precautions to prevent electric shock by turning the power switch off, wearing insulated gloves, and removing the service plug grip from HV battery.
    • Inspecting the high-voltage system
    • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly
    • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the HV battery
  • To prevent electric shock, make sure to remove the service plug grip to cut off the high voltage circuit before servicing the vehicle.
  • After removing the service plug grip from the HV battery, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
  • After removing the service plug grip, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals. After waiting for 10 minutes, check the voltage at the terminals in the inspection point in the inverter with converter assembly. The voltage should be 0 V before beginning work.

    HINT:

    Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.

NOTICE:

After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.
