P112 HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL: HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM: P3221-314: Generator Inverter Temperature Sensor Circuit Range / Performance
DTC P3221-314 - Generator Inverter Temperature Sensor Circuit Range / Performance
DTC P3221-315 - Generator Inverter Temperature Sensor Circuit Range / Performance
DESCRIPTION
The HV control ECU uses a temperature sensor, which is built into the inverter, to detect the temperature of the generator inverter. The same cooling system that is routed to the MG1 and MG2 cools the inverter. This cooling system is independent from the engine cooling system.
The characteristic of the generator inverter temperature sensor is the same as the boost converter temperature sensor P0A94.
The boost converter contains a booster IPM (Intelligent Power Module), which includes an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) and a reactor. The HV control ECU actuates the IGBT, which controls the current in the reactor.
The boost converter boosts the high-voltage direct current rated at 201.6 V to an approximate direct current voltage of 500 V. The inverter converts the voltage that has been boosted by the boost converter into alternating current, which is used for driving the MG1/MG2. When the MG1/MG2 operates as a generator, the alternating current of approximately 500 V from the MG1/MG2 is converted into direct current by the inverter.
Then, the boost converter drops this voltage to a direct current voltage rated at 201.6 V in order to charge the HV battery.
The HV control ECU uses a voltage sensor that is built into the boost converter to detect the high voltage (VL) before it is boosted. Also, it uses a voltage sensor that is built into the inverter to detect the high voltage (VH) after it has been boosted.
Based on the voltage before and after it has been boosted, the HV control ECU boosts it to a target voltage by controlling the operation of the boost converter.
The HV control ECU limits the load based on the signals transmitted by the generator inverter temperature sensor, in order to check the effectiveness of the inverter cooling system and prevent the inverter from overheating. Furthermore, the HV control ECU detects a malfunction in the wiring of the generator inverter temperature sensor, as well as in the sensor itself.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
- Before inspecting the high-voltage system, take safety precautions to prevent electrical shocks, such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip. After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reconnecting it while you are servicing the high-voltage system.
- After disconnecting the service plug grip, wait for at least 5 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals.
HINT: At least 5 minutes are required to discharge the high-voltage condenser inside the inverter.
