2. INSPECT CONVERTER
(a) Function check
Measure the voltage of an auxiliary battery terminal when
the ºREADYº lamp is OFF and ON.
READY lamp is OFF: Approx. 12 V
READY lamp is ON: Approx. 14 V
(b) Output current check
(1) Disconnect the MG2 power cable from the inverter
(See page HV±18).
(2) Install AC/DC 400 A probe to the wire harness of the
IP connector of the converter.
(3) Connect the MG2 power cable to the inverter (See
page HV±22).
(4) With the READY lamp ON, operate electric devices
one by one and measure the output current.
Standard: 100 A or less
HINT:
If more than 100 A is shown momentarily, check for the follow-
ings.
Ground short of electric device.
Overload caused by installation of excessive device.
PTC heater operation.

REMOVAL
1. REMOVE SERVICE PLUG (See page HV±1)
2. DRAIN HV COOLANT (See page HT±6)
3. REMOVE COWL TOP PANEL (See page BO±31)
4. VERIFY 0 V
NOTICE:
Before starting step (a), 5 minutes or more should be
passed after removing the service plug.
Be careful to prevent foreign matter from entering the
inside of connector cover.
(a) Disconnect the connector of the battery power cable and
insulate it with packaging tape.
(b) Using a torx socket wrench (T30), remove the 4 screws
and inverter terminal cover.
(c) Using a torx socket wrench (T40), remove the 2 screws,
circuit breaker sensor and connector cover.
HINT:
Slide the connector cover to disconnect the circuit breaker sen-
sor connector.
(d) Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage between termi-
nals of 3 phases (U±V, V±W, U±W) and each terminal and
body ground to verify them to be approx. 0 V.
5. REMOVE CONVERTER & INVERTER ASSEMBLY
(a) Remove the 6 bolts and 3 power cables for MG2.
NOTICE:
Be careful to prevent foreign matter from entering the in-
side of connector cover.
(b) Remove the 3 bolts and power cable for MG1.
NOTICE:
Remove the power cable for MG1 together with con-
verter & inverter assembly.
Be careful to prevent foreign matter from entering the
inside of connector cover.
(c) Remove the bolt and ground cable.

5. OPERATION AFTER REPLACING CONVERTER & IN-
VERTER ASSEMBLY
Even if the master warning light is not lit, clear DTC using a
TOYOTA hand±held tester. When replacing a converter & in-
verter assembly of the vehicle in which no error occurs, also
clear DTC using a TOYOTA hand held tester.
HINT:
When a TOYOTA hand±held tester cannot be used, disconnect
the auxiliary battery for 1 min. or more and connect it again.
6. CHECKING AFTER REPLACING CONVERTER & IN-
VERTER ASSEMBLY
Depressing the accelerator pedal to a degree of 50 %, increase
the speed up to approx. 15 km/h 3 or 4 times to check that there
is no problem in the inverter operation.
