Monitor Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Toyota Prius. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The HV control ECU performs many diagnostic tests to verify proper operation of internal and external ECU systems. In one of these diagnostics, the HV control ECU checks the result of the motor CPU self-test.
If the HV control ECU detects a "Fail" from the motor CPU self-test, it will conclude that there is an internal malfunction in the motor CPU. The HV control ECU will illuminate the MIL and set a DTC.
