The motor generator control ECU sends a signal to the DC/DC converter to prohibit its control and receives signals indicating a normal or abnormal (below 11 V) condition of the 12 V charging system from the DC/DC converter via the NODD signal line.

If the vehicle is being driven with an inoperative DC/DC converter, the voltage of the auxiliary battery will drop, which will prevent the continued operation of the vehicle. Therefore, the motor generator control ECU monitors the operation of the DC/DC converter and alerts the driver if it detects a malfunction.
