Lexus NX: Drive Motor "B" Current Sensor Circuit (P0A55-687)
DESCRIPTION
The MG ECU, which is built into the inverter with converter assembly, monitors its internal operation and will store DTCs if it detects a malfunction.
HINT:
The term "drive motor B" indicates the rear motor (MGR).
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Warning Indicate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0A55-687 | Drive Motor "B" Current Sensor Circuit | Motor current sensor high resolution circuit signal is out of range or there is a difference between it and the motor current sensor low resolution circuit current value. (1 trip detection logic) |
| Does not come on | Master Warning Light: Comes on |
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
- Before inspecting the high-voltage system or disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly, take safety precautions such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip to prevent electrical shocks. After removing the service plug grip, 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.
