- Check that the service plug grip is not installed.
- CHECK HYBRID VEHICLE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY (MOTOR (MG2)) WARNING:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
- Check that the service plug grip is not installed.NOTE:
After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the ignition switch to ON (READY), unless instructed by the repair information because this may cause a malfunction.
- Remove the inverter cover from the inverter with converter assembly.
- Disconnect the motor cable from the inverter with converter assembly.
- Using a milliohmmeter, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
*1 Shield Ground *a Motor Cable
(Inverter with Converter Assembly Side)HINT:
If the motor (MG2) temperature is high, the resistance will vary greatly from the specification. Therefore, measure the resistance at least 8 hours after the vehicle is stopped.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition w2-1 (W) - w2-2 (U) Ignition switch off 30.2 to 33.4 mΩ w2-2 (U) - w2-3 (V) Ignition switch off 30.2 to 33.4 mΩ w2-3 (V) - w2-1 (W) Ignition switch off 30.3 to 33.5 mΩ HINT:
To correct the variation of the measured resistance due to temperature, use the following formula to calculate the resistance at 20°C (68°F).
R20 = Rt / {1 + 0.00393 X (T - 20)}
The calculation is based on the following:
R20: Resistance at 20°C (68°F) (mΩ)
Rt: Measured resistance (mΩ)
T: Temperature when the resistance is measured (°C (°F).)
- Using a megohmmeter set to 500 V, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.NOTE:
Be sure to set the megohmmeter to 500 V when performing this test. Using a setting higher than 500 V can result in damage to the component being inspected.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition w2-1 (W) - Body ground and shield ground Ignition switch off 100 MΩ or higher w2-2 (U) - Body ground and shield ground Ignition switch off 100 MΩ or higher w2-3 (V) - Body ground and shield ground Ignition switch off 100 MΩ or higher - Reconnect the motor cable.
- Reinstall the inverter cover.
