P0BDF – Intermittent / Irregular Drive Motor Inverter Temperature Sensor Circuit

Posted by

P0BDF Possible Causes

  • Faulty inverter with converter
  • 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 P0BDF

Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the cable harness and associated connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.

P0BDF Possible Symptoms

Engine warning light on (or service engine soon light)

P0BDF Meaning

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

The drive 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 inverter overheating. Additionally, the HV control ECU detects a malfunction in the wiring of the motor sensor temperature sensor, as well as in the sensor itself.
