P0A64 Meaning

The inverter converts high voltage DC from the HV battery and AC from MG1/MG2. The inverter contains a three-phase bridge circuit, consisting of 6 power transistors each for MG1 and MG2, to convert DC and three-phase AC.
The HV control ECU controls the operation of the power transistors.

The inverter transmits necessary information for control, such as current and voltage, to the HV control ECU.
The motor inverter current sensors detect the current flowing through the V and W phase cables between the inverter and MG1/MG2. The inverter transmits necessary information for control, such as current and voltage, to the HV control ECU.
The HV control ECU monitors the inverter current sensors to detect malfunctions in the sensor system.
