P0BDA – Intermittent/Erratic Circuit of Drive Motor Inverter Temperature Sensor

Posted by

P0BDA Possible Causes

  • Faulty inverter with converter assembly
  • Inverter with converter assembly harness open or short-circuited
  • Inverter with converter assembly circuit poor electrical connection
  • Faulty HV control ECU

What Does It Mean?

How to Fix Code P0BDA

Check the “possible causes” listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.

P0BDA Possible Symptoms

Check engine light illuminated (or service engine soon warning light)

P0BDA Meaning

The HV control ECU uses a temperature sensor integrated into the inverter to detect the motor inverter temperature. The same cooling system routed to MG1 and MG2 cools the inverter. This cooling system is independent of the engine cooling system.

The motor inverter temperature sensor characteristic is the same as the boost converter temperature sensor.

The HV control ECU limits the load based on signals from the motor inverter temperature sensor, to verify the effectiveness of the inverter cooling system and prevent the inverter from overheating. Additionally, the HV control ECU detects malfunctions in the motor drive temperature sensor wiring, as well as in the sensor itself.
