Lexus NX: Sensor of Rear Motor Inverter Temperature (P0AF3-676,P0AF6-675)

Lexus NX Service Manual / Engine & Hybrid System / 2ar-fxe (hybrid / Battery Control) / Hybrid Control System / Sensor of Rear Motor Inverter Temperature (P0AF3-676,P0AF6-675)

DTC SUMMARY

MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

These DTCs indicate the temperature sensor value for rear motor inverter 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 MG ECU, which is built into the inverter with converter assembly, detects the temperature of the rear motor inverter using the temperature sensor built into the rear motor inverter. If necessary, the MG ECU will limit inverter output to help prevent the rear motor inverter from overheating. The hybrid vehicle control ECU also detects malfunctions in the sensor based on the temperature sensor values. The inverter with converter assembly detects malfunctions in the rear motor inverter temperature sensor and its wiring.

DTC No.

Drive Motor Inverter Temperature Sensor "B" Circuit Intermittent / Erratic

Sudden change in rear motor inverter temperature sensor output or hunting:

Rear motor inverter temperature is high and either of the following conditions is met:

  • Unusual sudden change in rear motor inverter temperature sensor output occurs and offset continues for a certain period of time.*
  • Unusual sudden change in rear motor inverter temperature sensor output occurs repeatedly.*

(1 trip detection logic)
  • Inverter cooling system
  • Cooling fan system
  • Inverter with converter assembly
  • Wire harness or connector

HINT:

*: If only DTC P0AF6-675 is output, a temperature sensor malfunction is more likely to be the cause than a sudden change in actual temperature.

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 P, wait for 90 seconds. [A]

    HINT:

    Check that there are no abnormalities (abnormal sounds, coolant leaks, DTC output, etc).

  8. Perform a road test according to the freeze frame data "Vehicle Spd" for approximately 10 minutes. [B]
  9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes. [C]
  10. Read the current DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a current DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a current DTC is not output and want to confirm permanent DTC, perform the following procedure.
  11. Check that permanent DTCs are cleared. If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
  12. If the permanent DTCs are not cleared, perform a universal trip, and then check for permanent DTCs again.

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.

HINT:

After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.

  1. Turn the power switch on (READY) and wait for 90 seconds or more.
  2. Drive the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes referring to the freeze frame data or Data List item: "Vehicle Spd".
