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

The battery temperature sensors are provided at 6 locations of the HV battery. The resistance of the thermistor, which is built into each battery temperature sensor, varies in accordance with changes in the HV battery temperature. The lower the battery temperature, the higher the thermistor resistance. Conversely, the higher the temperature, the lower the resistance. The battery voltage sensor uses the battery temperature sensors to detect the HV battery temperature, and sends the detected value to the hybrid vehicle control ECU. Based on the results of this detection, the battery voltage sensor controls the blower fan. (The blower fan starts when the HV battery temperature rises above a predetermined level.)
