Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual / Engine / Hybrid / Battery Control / Motor Generator Control System / Generator Inverter Actuator Stuck Open (P0A7A72)

DTC SUMMARY

MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates that current does not flow as commanded due to a generator output circuit malfunction. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:

Internal inverter malfunction
  • Inverter with converter assembly internal circuit malfunction
Inverter low-voltage circuit malfunction
  • The connectors are not connected properly

DESCRIPTION

DTC No.

Warning Indicate

P0A7A72

Generator Inverter Actuator Stuck Open

Malfunction is detected when offset component occurs in current flowing through generator with one phase open malfunction

(1 trip detection logic)
  • Inverter with converter assembly
  • Wire harness or connector

Comes on

Master Warning Light:

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

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

    Click here

  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 2 minutes or more.
  5. Apply the parking brake and secure the wheels using chocks.
  6. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
  7. Turn the power switch on (READY)
  8. Move the shift lever to D, and then firmly depress the brake pedal while fully depressing the accelerator pedal. Keep the brake pedal and accelerator pedal pressed for approximately 5 seconds. [*1]

    HINT:

    [*1]: Normal judgment procedure.

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

  9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Motor Generator / Utility / All Readiness.
  10. 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 or N/A, 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 power 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.

    Without waiting for 10 minutes

    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.
