DTC P0AAC-11: Hybrid/EV Battery Air Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Ground; DTC P0AAC-15: Hybrid/EV Battery Air Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Auxiliary Battery or Open [12/2019 - 11/2023]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The inlet air temperature sensor (HV battery) is mounted on the No. 2 hybrid battery intake duct. The resistance of the sensor varies in accordance with changes in the intake air temperature. The characteristics of the inlet air temperature sensor are the same as those of the battery temperature sensors (Refer to DESCRIPTION ). The battery voltage sensor uses signals from the inlet air temperature sensor to control the air volume of the battery cooling blower assembly.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Warning Indicate
