Causes
- Hybrid inverter / power control unit (PCU) internal fault
- Internal mechanical failure inside the hybrid transaxle (gears, bearings, clutch pack)
- High-voltage battery or DC-link fault affecting inverter operation
- Wiring harness or connector damage/corrosion between HV components and transaxle
- Cooling/thermal management failure causing inverter or transaxle overheating
- Power management control module / vehicle control module software or communication fault
Symptoms
- Master warning / MIL illuminated; specific hybrid/system warnings displayed
- Vehicle goes into limp or restricted-power mode (reduced torque)
- Loss of electric drive or inability to engage drive from electric motor
- Unusual noises from transaxle (grinding, whining) or vibration
- Reduced regenerative braking or charging capability
- Inability to start in electric mode or complete hybrid start sequence
What to check
- Read all stored DTCs including manufacturer-specific hybrid/inverter codes and freeze-frame data with a factory-capable scanner
- Check HV system status messages (insulation monitor, contactor state, HV battery SOC)
- Verify 12 V supply and grounds to power management and inverter modules
- Inspect high-voltage wiring harnesses and connectors for heat damage, corrosion, or physical damage
- Check inverter and transaxle coolant lines, level and temperature history
- Review recent software/ECU updates and known Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)
Signal parameters
- HV battery pack voltage (V)
- HV battery current (A) and State of Charge (SOC)
- Inverter DC-link voltage (V)
- Inverter / PCU internal temperature (°C)
- Motor speed (rpm) and torque request vs actual torque (Nm)
- Traction motor phase currents (A) and any phase imbalance flags
Diagnostic algorithm
- Safety first — only qualified technicians should work on HV systems; follow manufacturer procedures to isolate/de-energize the high-voltage system before any intrusive checks
- Read and record all diagnostic trouble codes and freeze-frame data with dealer-level or factory scan tool; note time, temperatures, and operating conditions
- Check for additional or related codes (HV battery, inverter, control modules, CAN communications) to narrow scope
- Verify 12 V system health (battery, charging) and proper power/ground to inverter/PMC modules
- With HV system safe and per procedure, visually inspect HV cabling, connectors and contactor areas for damage, overheating, corrosion or oil/coolant contamination
- Check coolant levels and cooling system components for proper operation; review temperature data in freeze frame/live data
- Use live data to confirm DC-link voltage, inverter temps, motor phase currents and torque requests; look for irregularities or phase imbalances
- Check insulation monitor readings and contactor operation; confirm HV pack voltage is present when expected and contactors properly close
- Verify communications between power management control module (PMC/PCU), transmission control unit and other modules. Address any CAN/communication failures first
- If electrical/inverter items are within specification, evaluate transaxle mechanically: check for internal noise, metal particulates in oil, oil contamination and pressure/flow (dealer-level procedures required)
- Check for available software updates or calibrations for hybrid control modules and apply per manufacturer guidance
- If internal transaxle failure or inverter hardware fault is strongly indicated, coordinate module replacement or transaxle removal/inspection per factory repair procedures
Likely causes
- Inverter/PCU internal failure or semiconductor/module fault
- Internal mechanical damage inside transaxle (bearing or gear failure)
- Loss of HV DC link voltage (battery pack or contactor fault)
- Power management control module or communication bus (CAN) fault
- Thermal/cooling circuit failure leading to inverter/transaxle overtemperature
Fault status
Status
Hybrid transaxle assembly failure — drive limited. Check inverter/PCU, HV system, and transaxle internals. Follow OEM high-voltage safety procedures.
Repair difficulty: Hard
Diagnostic time: 3-6 hours
