Title: HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: MOTOR GENERATOR CONTROL SYSTEM (for AWD with NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE BATTERY): P0BCC1C; Generator Inverter Temperature Sensor Circuit Voltage Out of Range; 2019 - 2024 MY RAV4 HV [02/2019 -        ]

DTC

P0BCC1C

Generator Inverter Temperature Sensor Circuit Voltage Out of Range

DTC SUMMARY

MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

These DTCs indicate that the generator inverter temperature sensor value is abnormal. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:

Internal inverter malfunction

  • Inverter with converter assembly internal circuit malfunction

Hybrid cooling system malfunction

  • Coolant circulation abnormal (frozen or leaking, etc.)

Inverter low-voltage circuit malfunction

  • The connectors are not connected properly

DESCRIPTION

The motor generator control ECU (MG ECU), which is built into the inverter with converter assembly, detects the temperature of the generator inverter using the generator inverter temperature sensor. If necessary, the motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) will limit inverter output to help prevent the generator inverter from overheating. The motor generator control ECU also detects malfunctions in the sensor based on the temperature sensor values.

DTC No.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

  • 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.

    Click here 2019 - 2024 MY RAV4 HV [02/2019 -        ]; HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: MOTOR GENERATOR CONTROL SYSTEM (for AWD with NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE BATTERY): UTILITY

  • When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.

    Click here 2019 - 2024 MY RAV4 HV [02/2019 -        ]; HYBRID / BATTERY CONTROL: MOTOR GENERATOR CONTROL SYSTEM (for AWD with NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE BATTERY): DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and Techstream on.
  6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY). [*1]
  7. Drive the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes with the value of Data List item "Inverter Coolant Temperature" 25°C (77°F) or more. [*2]

    HINT:

    [*1] to [*2]: Normal judgment procedure.

    The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

  8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Motor Generator / Utility / All Readiness.
  9. Check the DTC judgment result.

    HINT:

    • 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.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

  • Before the following operations are conducted, take precautions to prevent electric shock by turning the ignition 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.
