MAIN FUNCTIONS OF COMPONENTS
MG1Generates high-voltage electricity by being powered primarily by the engine.
Also functions as a starter to start the engine.
Hybrid
Trans-
axle
MG2
Primarily provide additional power to the engine in order to increase the
overall drive force. During braking, or when the accelerator pedal is not
depressed, it generates electricity to recharge the HV battery (Regenerative
brake system).
Planetary
Gear UnitDistributes the engine's drive force as appropriate to directly drive the vehicle
as well as the generator.
HV Battery
Supplies electric power to the MG2 during start-off, acceleration, and uphill
driving; recharged during braking or when the accelerator pedal is not
depressed.
InverterA device that converts the high-voltage DC (HV battery) into AC (MG1 and
MG2) and vice versa (Converts AC into DC).
Converter
Drops the high-voltage direct current (DC 273.6 V) into DC12 V in order to
supply electricity to body electrical components, as well as to recharge the
auxiliary battery (12 V).
HV (Hybrid Vehicle
Control) ECU
Information from each sensor as well as from the ECU (ECM, Battery ECU,
ABS ECU) is received, and based on this the required torque and output power
is calculated.
The HV ECU sends the calculated result to the actuators and controllers.
ECMSends a throttle open command to the electronically-controlled throttle in
accordance with the engine output request factor received from the HV ECU.
Battery ECUMonitors the charging condition of the HV battery.
Brake ECU
Controls the regenerative brake that is effected by the MG2 and the hydraulic
brake so that the total braking force equals that of a conventional vehicle that
is equipped only with hydraulic brakes.
Also, the brake ECU performs the ABS control conventionally.
Accelerator PedalConverts the accelerator angle into an electrical signal and outputs it to the HVAccelerator Pedal
Position Sensor
Converts the accelerator angle into an electrical signal and outputs it to the HV
ECU.
Shift Position SensorConverts the shift lever position into an electrical signal and outputs it to the
HV ECU.
SMR (System Main
Relay)Connects and disconnects the high-voltage power circuit through the use of
a signal from the HV ECU.
Service plugShuts off the high-voltage circuit of the HV battery when this plug is removed
for vehicle inspection or maintenance.

THS CONTROL SYSTEM
1. General
The THS control system contains the following components:
HV (Hybrid Vehicle
Control) ECU
Controls the MG1, 2 and the engine according to the demand torque,
regenerative brake control and the SOC (state of charge) of HV battery. These
factors are determined by the shift position, the degree which the accelerator
is depressed, and vehicle speed.
ECM
ControlThe HV ECU receives engine status data (rpm, torque) from the ECM and
determines the engine demand torque.
Moreover, engine stop and fuel cut signals are sent according to the driving
conditions.
In addition, the vehicle speed signal received from the combination meter is
also sent.
BRAKE
ECU
ControlThe HV ECU receives data corresponding to the total braking force needed.
The HV ECU transmits the regeneration brake demand torque valve, as well
as the regeneration brake execution torque valve.
Inverter
(for MG1,
MG2)
ControlThe HV ECU sends the signal to the power transistor in the inverter for
switching the U, V, W, phase of the MG1, 2 in order to drive the MG1 and 2.
Moreover, if an overheating, overcurrent or fault voltage signal is received
from the inverter, it is shut down.
ConverterWhen a malfunction is in the Hybrid vehicle control system, the HV ECU
sends a signal to the converter, and the converter is stopped.
MG1, MG2Detects the position of the rotor of the MG1, 2 and controls the current flowing
to the MG1, 2.
In addition, the temperature is detected and the maximum load is controlled.
Battery ECUReceives the SOC of the HV battery and the current value.
Airbag Sensor
AssemblyReceives the airbag deployment signal.
A / C ECUReceives the engine power rise demand (when air-conditioning is turned ON)
and the engine running demand for water-temperature maintenance.
Accelerator Pedal
Position SensorReceives the value corresponding to degree at which the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
Shift Position SensorReceives the shift position signal (P, R, N, D, B).
Cruise Control SwitchReceives the cruise control switch signal.
Stop Light SwitchReceives the brake signal.
Interlock Switch
(for Inverter Cover and
Service Plug)Verifies that the cover of both the inverter and the service plug have been
installed.
Circuit Breaker SensorThe high-voltage circuit is intercepted if a vehicle collision has been detected.
DiagnosisWhen the HV ECU detects a malfunction, the HV ECU diagnosis and
memorizes the values corresponding to the failure.
Fail-SafeWhen the HV ECU detects a malfunction, the HV ECU stops or controls the
actuators and ECUs according to the data already stored in memory.

3. ECM Control
The ECM receives the demand torque and the target rpm which were sent from HV ECU (THE, ETH), and
controls the degree of throttle valve opening, fuel injection timing, ignition time and VVT-i.
In addition, the actual rpm is sent to the HV ECU with GO, and the speed signal from the hybrid transaxle
is received through HV ECU with SPDO.
When the vehicle is stopped, the HV ECU may send an engine stop (ESTP) command to the ECM to reduce
fuel used.
When a malfunction occurs in the system, the ECM activates MIL via the directions from the HV ECU.
4. BRAKE ECU Control
The brake ECU calculates the total braking force needed, based on the master cylinder pressure in the brake
actuator generated when the driver depresses the brake pedal, and sends this valve to the HV ECU.
The HV ECU computes a part for the regeneration brake force from the total braking force, and sends the
result to the brake ECU.
The HV ECU executes to the minus torque to MG2, and carries out the regenerative brake functions.
The brake ECU controls the brake actuator solenoid valves and generates the wheel cylinder pressure, which
is the regenerative brake force subtracted from the total braking force.

± REFERENCE ±
The MG1 and the MG2 are generally shut down when the shift lever is in the N position.
However, the shut-down function is canceled under the following exceptions:

During driving, if the brake pedal is depressed and a wheel locks up, the ABS is activated. After this, low
torque is requested from the MG2 to provide supplemental power in order to restart the rotation of the wheel.
Even if the shift lever is in the N position at this time, the shut-down function is canceled to allow the wheel
to rotate. After the wheel rotation has been restarted, the system resumes its shut-down function.

When the vehicle is driven in the D or B position and the brake pedal is depressed, the regenerative brake
operates. At this time, as the driver moves the shift lever to the N position, the brake hydraulic pressure in-
creases while the request torque of the regenerative brake decreases gradually so as not to create a sluggish
brake feel. After this, the system effects its shut-down function.
When any of the conditions described below is pres-
ent, the message prompt as shown appears in the
multi information display, accompanied by the illu-
mination of the master warning light and the continu-
ous sounding of the buzzer.

The ªREADYº light is illuminated, the shift lever
is in the N position, and the HV battery is dis-
charged.

The ªREADYº light is illuminated, the shift lever
is in the N position, and the driver's door is open.

The ªREADYº light is illuminated, the parking brake is engaged, the shift lever is in the B or D position, and
the driver's door is open.

MG1 AND MG2 (MOTOR GENERATOR NO.1 AND NO.2)
DESCRIPTION
Both the MG1 and the MG2 are compact, lightweight, and highly efficient alternating current permanent
magnet synchronous type.
Serving as the source of supplemental motive force that provides power assistance to the engine as needed,
the electric motor helps the vehicle achieve excellent dynamic performance, including smooth start-offs
and acceleration. When the regenerative brake is activated, MG2 converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into
electrical energy, which is then stored in the HV battery.
MG1 recharges the HV battery and supplies electrical power to drive MG2. In addition, by regulating the
amount of electrical power generated (thus varying the generator's rpm), MG1 effectively controls the
continuously variable transmission function of the transaxle. MG1 also serves as the starter to start the
engine.

1. Permanent Magnet Motor
When a three-phase alternating current is passed
through the three-phase windings of the stator
coil, a rotational magnetic field is created in the
electric motor. By controlling this rotating mag-
netic field according to the rotor's rotational posi-
tion and speed, the permanent magnets that are
provided in the rotor become attracted by the ro-
tating magnetic field, thus generating torque.
The generated torque is for all practical purposes
proportionate to the amount of current, and the
rotational speed is controlled by the frequency of
the alternating current.
Furthermore, a high level of torque, all the way to
high speeds, can be generated efficiently by prop-
erly controlling the rotating magnetic field and the
angles of the rotor magnets.
2. Speed Sensor (Resolver)
This is an extremely reliable and compact sensor
that precisely detects the magnetic pole position,
which is indispensable for ensuring the efficient
control of MG1 and MG2.
The sensor's stator contains 3 coils as illustrated, and
output coils B and C are electrically staggered 90 de-
grees. Because the rotor is oval, the distance of the
gap between the stator and the rotor varies with the
rotation of the rotor. Thus, by passing an alternating
current through coil A, output that corresponds to the
sensor rotor's position is generated by coils B and C.
The absolute position can then be detected from the
difference between these outputs.
In addition, the amount of positional variance
within a predetermined time is calculated by the
HV ECU, thus enabling this sensor to be used as
an rpm sensor.
3. Power Cable
The power cable is a high-voltage, high-amperage
cable that connects the HV battery with the inverter,
and the inverter with MG1 and MG2. Starting from
the connector at the left front of the HV battery lo-
cated in the luggage compartment, the power cable
is routed under the rear seat, through the floor panel,
along the under-the-floor reinforcement, and con-
nects to the inverter in the engine compartment. A
shielded cable is used for the power cable in order to
reduce electromagnetic interference.
The 12 V  wiring of the auxiliary battery also
follows the same route.
For identification purposes, the high-voltage wir-
ing harness and connectors are color-coded
orange to distinguish them from those of the ordi-
nary low-voltage wiring.
