PRE±CHECK
1. PRECAUTION
(a) To distinguish a trouble and replace a defective part, take
necessary preventive measures against an electric shock
(See page IN±4).
(b) Some portions of the wiring harness in the THS vehicle
have the circuits, to which a high voltage is applied. To
prevent an electrical shock, be sure to observe the follow-
ing:
(1) Wear insulated gloves during inspection.
(2) Remove a service plug and do not start any repair
operation before 5 minutes have passed, then con-
firm that the voltage at the output terminals has
dropped down to 12 V or less.
(3) Use insulated tools during inspection.
(4) When disengaging wiring connectors, hold the con-
nector bodies to avoid pulling the wires. When en-
gaging wiring connectors, be sure to engage them
securely.
(c) Do not leave tools or parts (bolts, nuts, etc.) inside the
cabin.
(d) Do not carry metallic objects such as mechanical pencils
or scales.
2. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Description
The HV Battery ECU has a self±diagnosis system
by which malfunction in the computer itself or in Hy-
brid System is detected and the master warning
light in the combination meter and the Hybrid sys-
tem warning light in the multi±information display
lights up.

(2) Inspect the auxiliary battery, fuses, fusible links, wir-
ing harness, connectors and ground.
(b) Check the master warning light.
(1) Turn the ignition switch ON and confirm that the
master warning light comes on.
HINT:
If the master warning light does not come on, suspect a burnt
fuse, burnt bulb, or open in wiring harness.
(2) When the ºREADYº light is ON, the master warning
light should go off.
If the lamp remains on, the diagnosis system has detected a
malfunction or abnormality in the system.
(c) Check the DTC.
(1) Prepare a TOYOTA hand±held tester.
(2) Connect the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the
DLC3.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the TOYOTA
hand±held tester main switch ON.
(4) Use the TOYOTA hand±held tester to check the
DTC and freeze frame data and note them down.
(For operating instructions, see the TOYOTA hand±
held tester operator's manual).
Since the HV battery ECU stores DTC and freeze
frame data, when troubleshooting, check all of the
DTC, write down the freeze fame data and perform
inspection according to the procedures of ºCircuit
Inspectionº.
Because the HV battery ECU is communicating with
the HV ECU, if any DTC is stored in the HV battery
ECU, check and record DTC stored in the HV ECU
(For tables for DTC, see page DI±177).
(5) See a related page to confirm details of the DTC.
