V. CONFIRM CONDITION EXISTS AND CABLE INSPECTION
1) Perform a health check and confirm if DTC P0AA649 or P1C8049 are present.
YES – Continue to Step 3
NO – Continue to Step 2
For part release a screenshot is required of DTC from GTS+ and the VIN must be in screenshot.
2) Inspect the vehicle for AM static radio interference
a) Ready on vehicle
b) Change the radio to a known AM station.
c) After radio is on a known station, place the vehicle into drive or reverse while applying the brake.
d) Return the vehicle to Park after 3 seconds.
e) Repeat (c) and (d) 3 times.
When placing the vehicle into Drive or Reverse is AM static introduced each time placed into Drive or Reverse?
YES – Continue to Step 3
NO – This CSP does not apply. Please consult the repair manual and continue the diagnosis.
For part release, vehicles with No DTC and Only AM static radio, will require a video with audio of the
AM static radio interference.

3) Remove No. 1 Floor Under Cover.
a) Remove the 3 bolts, 3 clips, and No. 1 floor under cover
from the rear suspension member sub-assembly.

4) Disable High Voltage Circuit for Inspection.
a) Temporarily disconnect 12 v battery.
b) Remove the hybrid service plug.
c) Remove bolt (b) at the inverter as shown.
d) Using a T25 "TORX" socket wrench, remove the bolt (a) and
connector cover assembly from the inverter with converter
assembly.
NOTICE:
• Do not touch the connector cover assembly waterproof seal.
• Do not allow any foreign matter or water to enter the inverter
with converter assembly.
e) Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage between the
terminals of the 2-phase connectors.
Standard Voltage: 0 V
NOTICE: Do not allow any foreign matter or water to enter the
inverter with converter assembly.
HINT: Use a measuring range of DC 750 V or more on the
voltmeter.
CAUTION
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.

Y6 connector under the vehicle at MGR

5) Inspect the Y6 connection for corrosion.
f) Disconnect the Y6 connector at the MGR and inspect for
corrosion, dirt, or debris.
CAUTION
Orange wire harnesses and connectors indicate high-voltage
circuits. To prevent electric shock, always follow the procedure
described in the repair manual to disable
the high-voltage system.
To prevent electric shock, wear insulated gloves when working on
wire harnesses and components of the high-voltage system.

YES – Continue to Section VI.
For parts release take a photo of the connector housing with
R.O. in the picture.
NO - This CSP does not apply. Please consult the repair
manual and continue the diagnosis.
6) Inspect the connector housing of the MGR.
a) Inspect the chamfer of the MGR connector housing for pitting and corrosion on the sealing surface.
