ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY
| (a) Disconnect the thermistor assembly connector. |
|
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - 2 | 10°C (50°F) | 3.00 to 3.73 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 15°C (59°F) | 2.45 to 2.88 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 20°C (68°F) | 1.95 to 2.30 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 25°C (77°F) | 1.60 to 1.80 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 30°C (86°F) | 1.28 to 1.47 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 35°C (95°F) | 1.00 to 1.22 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 40°C (104°F) | 0.80 to 1.00 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 45°C (113°F) | 0.65 to 0.85 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 50°C (122°F) | 0.50 to 0.70 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 55°C (131°F) | 0.44 to 0.60 kΩ |
| 1 - 2 | 60°C (140°F) | 0.36 to 0.50 kΩ |
NOTICE:
- Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensor may change the resistance value.
- When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.
HINT:
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the thermistor assembly.

HV Battery High-voltage Line Circuit
DESCRIPTION The cause of the malfunction may be the HV battery high-voltage line circuit. Check the continuity in the high-voltage line from the HV battery to the inverter. Check the connection condition and for an open circuit in the frame wire from the service plug grip and HV battery to the inver
