DTC SUMMARY
MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
These DTCs are stored when the rear motor temperature sensor output is abnormal. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:
Hybrid vehicle control ECU malfunctionHINT:
If any of these DTCs are stored, the rear motor temperature sensor is malfunctioning and the self-protection function may not operate. Therefore under certain high load driving condition, the temperature of the rear motor (MGR) becomes high. If the self-protection function does not operate, the rear motor (MGR) may malfunction and cause the vehicle to enter fail-safe mode.
DESCRIPTION
The resistance of the thermistor built into the rear motor temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the rear motor temperature. The lower the rear motor temperature, the higher the thermistor resistance. Conversely, the higher the rear motor temperature, the lower the resistance.
