Lexus NX: Hybrid Battery "A" Voltage (P0B23-129)

Lexus NX Service Manual / Engine & Hybrid System / 2ar-fxe (hybrid / Battery Control) / Hybrid Control System / Hybrid Battery "A" Voltage (P0B23-129)

DTC SUMMARY

MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

The hybrid vehicle control ECU detects a VB sensor malfunction.

The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:

Inside of battery voltage sensor VB sensor circuit malfunction
  • Battery voltage sensor malfunction
  • Communication (wire harness) malfunction
High voltage system malfunction
  • HV battery malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The battery voltage sensor (battery energy control module) sends HV battery voltage information to the hybrid vehicle control ECU via serial communication.

DTC No.

P0B23-129

Hybrid Battery "A" Voltage

Battery voltage sensor malfunction ("Power Resource VB" output value is abnormal):

When not boosting the difference between "Power Resource VB" and "VL-Voltage before Boosting" is large, and also "Power Resource VB" and "VH-Voltage after Boosting" is large.

Data List
  • Ready Signal

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The hybrid vehicle control ECU calculates the differences between the received HV battery voltage, boost converter voltage, and inverter voltage. If the differences exceed prescribed values, the hybrid vehicle control ECU determines that there is a malfunction in the battery voltage sensor circuit. If the hybrid vehicle control ECU detects this malfunction, it will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  4. Turn the power switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more.
  5. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
  6. Turn the power switch on (READY).
  7. With the shift lever in D, depress both the accelerator pedal and brake pedal at the same time to raise the SOC to a sufficient level.
  8. Move the shift lever to P, check that the engine is stopped and move the shift lever to N.
  9. Set the A/C for maximum cooling.
  10. Leave the vehicle for a few minutes.
  11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.
  12. Read the current DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a current DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If current DTCs are not output, perform the following steps to check for permanent DTCs.
  13. Check that the permanent DTCs are cleared.
  14. If the permanent DTCs are not cleared, perform the universal trip, and then check for permanent DTCs again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Performing the check procedures for a long time with the shift lever in N may cause DTC P3000-388 to be set.

HINT:

  • If it is necessary to replace the battery voltage sensor, voltages need to be confirmed after installing the new battery voltage sensor. Confirm that "Power Resource VB", "VL-Voltage before Boosting", and "VH-Voltage after Boosting" in the Data List are 280 V or more with the power switch on (READY), the shift lever in P, and the engine stopped. When the system is normal, the "Power Resource VB", "VL-Voltage before Boosting", and "VH-Voltage after Boosting" values should be almost equal (voltage boosting will not occur when the shift lever is in N). If the difference between each voltage exceeds the values specified below, there is a malfunction.

    Inspection voltage

    Maximum voltage difference

    Difference between "Power Resource VB" and "VL-Voltage before Boosting"

    Difference between "Power Resource VB" and "VH-Voltage after Boosting"

    31 V

    Difference between "VL-Voltage before Boosting" and "VH-Voltage after Boosting"

    42 V
  • After the repair, if "VL-Voltage before Boosting" and "Power Resource VB" are approximately the same when the power switch is turned on (READY) with the shift lever in P and the accelerator pedal not depressed, the condition is judged as normal.

PROCEDURE
