Between Professor Kelly and AMD of "Car Car Nut" videos, I've learned a whole lot about my 2020 Toyota Camry Hybrid SE. Everything from how to service, how systems work, and the mechanical and electrical details about the excellent details that goes into my Toyota. These have been a great education for me to understand what goes into my favorite car. Thanks!
Thank you professor. I am my own super tech to 07 Prius. I have replaced inverter/converter unit, 4 years ago. I have also replaced high voltage battery modules several times. It’s very dangerous work but it’s worth it. I am so proud of myself.
I watched most of your videos and plan to watch them all. Everything I've seen from you is excellent. My personal interest is in making electric and hybrid drive trains for bikes but I plan to repair/rebuild existing ones also. I'll try to be more helpful when I can. Keep up the great work you're doing. God bless you.
Thank you for the effort and technical information you put out, Salute from the UK, By the way I achieved 171 miles from 11litres of E10 petrol (UK litres ) ,recently on 3rd gen engine, Toyota Auris these are excellent engineered cars.
I like watching your videos a lot! 👍 I work with several brands of electric cars and all these things are familiar to me, but it is very interesting to see other manufacturers' ideas for the same purpose. You make very good and educational videos! Keep up the good work
man want to be an electric vehicle tech looking for a tech team mate i am auto lock smith and automotive technician for combustion engines 16 year experiance
Great video, great channel and great teacher! I would like to suggest you to include some drawings and schemes during the explanions, it would be very useful. Thank you so much for content you provide for us.
Dear Professor, May I ask you to make the disassembling the European cars (BMV, AUDI, VW Renault ) interesting how they do the EVs. All the cars you do the inventors are from Japan. Thank you in advance.
The German car makers do , I think many things different. For example they do different style of the batteries from Tesla. Not the round one but flat windings. I think that the investors are also are different. Once again thank you for your great educational videos! We watch you with my son. Even at work I show your videos as an example. I am from the electronic components side.
What an amazing channel! I am absolutely stoked with an amount of technical data in greate detail here! I am planning on purchasing Accord with i-MMD, and it's currently virtually impossible to find any technical information about it. It would be so awesome to take a look at the transaxle and HV Inverter. I will not buy any hybrid car before I can see it inside. This lets me get some understanding about longevity and how serviceable it is. I like my cars, and I keep them forever, so I need to know what's inside!
Fascinating to see the internal structure of this unit (being an owner of a Toyota Hybrid; in my case a 2017 Yaris, with a 144V d.c. NiMH battery). In practice, if there is an internal fault, it’s most likely that a servicing dealer would replace the whole unit, but it’s good to see what it’s like inside. One of the points to note is that they have managed to simplify a lot of things outside the unit, in effect. E.g. these cars do not have any belt driven alternators, air con pumps, nor any d.c. starter motors. The advent of IGBTs and variable frequency traction motors has been a major development for electric traction - for both on and off the road.
A very enjoyable & informative video, as always. Thank you Prof. I have the feeling that as E.V.s become more abundant and production increases, then the serviceable parts will become fewer as more functions are integrated into one big black unserviceable mass produced lump.
Thank you. Most hybrid vehicle manufacturers do not have serviceable inverters. Toyota is different; their batteries, inverters, and converters all have serviceable components. I believe it is to reduce warranty expenses. It is less expensive to repair them than to replace the entire unit at this time. I hope, as EVs become more plentiful, that they have serviceable components as well.
A moot point, those very delicate interconnections between electronic processing stages is unsustainable in a practical commercial world. The smoothing regenerative braking capacitors have already been subjected to integration. Thank you for your professionalism in your videos & thoughtful response to all the comments. I look forward to your future videos.
Has always a very informative video there sir. A very well built pieces of hardware from toyota. About part being unserviceable; I would say probably not. Smaller and more integrated (implying more special tools and training) definitly. I can attest about that, for example the best selling EV in France is the Renault ZOE. The first Gen used a set of 3 large wire with heavy duty connectors between the inverter and the motor. Now the new Generation has a smaller inverter with 3 copper bar that goes from the inverter straight down into the backplate of the electric motor. So unplugging the inverter from the motor require to open the inverter to gain access to the bolts holding the copper tabs.
my parents told me when i was still a baby until 5 y/o they'd buy me toys that moves and produces sounds.i'd play with them toys for awhile,like a minute or two then i'll go to my Dad's garage and i'll start dissecting the toy ^_^ my parents said i'm the strangest little girl they've ever seen in their life.i love toolboxes and what's inside toys ^_^
Dear Professor thanks a lot for wealth of information given in your videos. The best I have seen so far. Any chance of doing a video on the Prius gen 3 braking system overview?
Good work bro like the way u bo thinks, I in Trinidad I work on hybird toyato and nissan vehicles and all. New vehicles 1990 up 2018 and more, in my work shop i will enplement the ways u bo think keep up the good work

Wonderful video! My 2012 Prius lost power several times recently and the error code is P0A08, which is DC-DC Converter Fault Circuit / Open. According to your video, there should be something wrong the DC-DC Converter at the bottom of the inverter assembly. Unfortunately I can't find any used separate DC-DC Converter module sold on ebay. Only the whole inverter assembly is sold.
Professor, please can you confirm what happens in Sport Mode on a Lexus CT200H (P410). I think I read or heard that it merely increases to voltage to the traction motor.
Hello Professor, That was really a good overview of Toyota Prius Power control Unit. I gained a lot of knowledge from the video. I was also interested in Power control unit construction of Toyota C-HR Battery electric vehicle. To understand the difference in design for a hybrid and pure electric. If possible, Could you please provide some information about it. Thank you very much😀
Hi Mr. Kelly is there a difference in Prius, Auris or Yaris inverters. They look much the same except top cover or P/N. Do you maybe know about the rating for the traction IGBTs inside?
Hello! Those electronic plates are very tricky to disassemble. What is purpose of this thin pins and vibration damping contactors: for high frequence AC voltage? I've learned already so much. Thanks a lot!
Good day sir, I was taking my ase l3 and failed it by two points. However I ran to a question with a diagram. When you check the voltage on the terminal and it doesn't discharge is it the resistor that has a problem?
Hello Professor, I am new to the automotive world and I am very interested with your explanation about everything about vehicle, but I need your advice to guide me where should I start to learn about vehicle as a beginner. Thanks for your time to reading this.
Hello, I recommend starting at a local trade school and learning the basics of automotive technology and then moving on to more advanced topics like this. Best wishes!
to make it easier to open the halves or covers i use permatex gasket remover ...but this does not work as it says in the instructions 15 -30 minutes ... I wetted two days where the silicone ...
Hy sir, how are you? You are great full professor.I watch your videos and get a lot of lessons. I want to come to your country for work in hybrid cars,can it's possible sir?
I have a cuestion teacher. what happens when hibrid cars and trucks have accidents?. There in any device or system to disconnect the high voltage in case of an accident?.
Good question. The high voltage system is automatically shut down in an accident that deploys an airbag or results in loss of isolation of the high voltage circuits. Turning off the key (power switch) or disconnecting the 12 volt battery power supply will do the same thing. I have owned hybrid and electric vehicles for 10 years now, I am not concerned at all with the high voltage system in an accident. Best wishes.
I recently had an accident in my Gen2 Prius (2007) and the whole front of the car was smashed in from a head on collision. However the airbags did not deploy as it seems the 'crumple zones' absorbed the majority of the impact. While the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree including the main warning triangle, the car could still move under its own power on the electrics alone, which was impressive considering the front of the car was half the length that it was supposed to be. The ICE could not start due to damage but I was able to drive it a short distance to an emergency stopping area on battery power alone, which I thought was quite impressive considering the extensive damage. I was even able to turn it back on a little later so I could back it up and make room for the tow truck, which makes me wonder whether the car knows when it's been in an accident and lets you drive it in a situation when normally it wouldn't let you. The insurer deemed the damage as unrepairable and wrote the car off.
Hi, Can the DC-DC convert be upgraded? I've heard for grew 3rd gen Plug-in. The DC-DC convert puts out 14.4v @ 100amp. Any way to bump the amperage to 200-250 amp?
I'm learning a lot. Thanks Prof. Now there's a point where you mentioned that IGBTs are serviceable but any replacement calls for repogramming. Where does one go for the programming?
A Toyota dealership is the best place. Although it is possible for anyone to purchase a Toyota scan tool, programming software subscription, and training, it is very expensive to do so.
My 2024 corolla hybrid is faulty. The voltage sent to the 12 volt battery is not 14.5v but 20v. Do you think the problem might be the DC to DC converter? If not the DC to DC, what else could it be? The dealer replaced 1 12v batt. because it couldn't pass a load test. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated. Thanks. BTW, I watched your video from beginning to end; excellent!
Hello professor, thanks for another interesting video! I have one question concerning the A/C system, on this Inverter/Converter there's not anymore the inverter dedicated to the A/C compressor, and the connection uses only 2 wires (so HV DC) has this moved on the compressor itself? I remember that in the previous Toyota Inverter/converter there was a dedicated output with 3 wires, so and AC one, am I wrong?
Thank you! You are correct. If the A/C compressor has only two wires connected to it, the inverter is built into the A/C compressor. If it has three wires, it is elsewhere. Most modern hybrid and electric vehicles use the 2-wire A/C compressor.
Dear Professor, I have Prius V 2012 not getting to ready mode all I tried switching the Converter, Checking the Red Service Plug but the car still not starting the ready light blink twice and 2 or 3 click sounds from the HV battery. Please help
It would be great if you could compare and contrast this I/C unit with the one used in the Prius Prime- different component and conductor sizes and ratings, etc.
They are there because the connections to the other parts inside the inverter are through solid connections (no flexible wire harnesses to absorb vibrations while driving).
It looks like it may have been difficult to mount the IGBTs close to the main PCB while still getting decent cooling, so it looks like they mounted all the hot parts separately and then used those connectors to get the signals back to the main controller board. This is fairly common in the electronics industry, where you have long pins that connect multiple layers of circuit boards together. Sometimes it's done due to size constraints, other times to get better cooling or reduce electrical signal interference, etc.
Thank you for the great videos I have a 2017 complete engine, inverter, and trans-axle with computer. Is there any way to get it to work with a gen 3 2011 Prius? thank you
Good question. The reservoir cap has the same pressure rating at the engine coolant reservoir, It could get as hot as engine coolant. The main source of heat is not the inverter, it is the transaxle stator windings. Thank you!
Hej Professor Det er meget interessant og meget fint beskrivelse, selv de mindste fragmenter bliver tydeligt gjort for os elbil interesseret,. Jeg kan bruge det, til køb af brugte elbiler samt vedligeholdelse, men bliver bedre klædt på til at tale med forhandlerne og værkstedet. MVH Henrik p. Nielsen
Good afternoon, professor! You have very educational videos. They are very interesting to watch. I have such a problem. I bought an American Toyota Prius 2017 hybrid and live in Ukraine. The authorized dealer does not have any documentation for this machine. I have a " inverter: P0A001C code - Engine Electronics Coolant Temperature Sensor Circuit: Circuit Voltage Out of Range This sensor" . I would be grateful if you tell me. Thank!
Hello sir can i ask you question? If the Toyota prius high voltage battery goes flat completely then how can it be charged? Only dealer can do or it can charged while driving? And also if these hybrid car have an impact at the front or back will there be any switch or fuse will cause the high voltage battery to go open circuit? Also one more if we change the hole inverter and converter assembly change for some reason do we need to reprogram the new one or it will just work like that. Thank you sir
Technically, the dealer is the only place that can charge your flat battery. You cannot drive it if it is flat. There is a high voltage fuse in the service disconnect lever. You may not have to program the inverter if it is exactly the same part number
@@WeberAuto absolutely understand your point. Coz the high voltage battery is the power that runs the MG2 to role the car down. Thank you so much and i appreciate you took your time to read my question reply it.
Hi quick question why when My Toyota battery on my 2014 fielder hybrid reaches 2 bars when I drive and mash brakes the idle drops and after raises up after
WeberAuto thanks! Just connected 150A inverter DC12-AC120 - and looks like it’s bad idea. I wonder to find DC120-AC120 inverter to avoid that 80A converter

Why are there 7 banks of IGBTs? I was expecting 6, ie one per phase of the MG1 and MG2 stators.
Hi Mr. Kelly is there a difference in Prius, Auris or Yaris inverters. They look much the same except top cover or P/N. Do you maybe know about the rating for the traction IGBTs inside?
If the part numbers are different, the inverters will be different as well. It may just be the upper board, but I do not know.
Is it possible to connect your Prius to your home in case of a black out?
Thank you for the videos

They are there because the connections to the other parts inside the inverter are through solid connections (no flexible wire harnesses to absorb vibrations while driving).

I do not know, good question. Everything seems solidly mounted.
It looks like it may have been difficult to mount the IGBTs close to the main PCB while still getting decent cooling, so it looks like they mounted all the hot parts separately and then used those connectors to get the signals back to the main controller board. This is fairly common in the electronics industry, where you have long pins that connect multiple layers of circuit boards together.

do you have video of 3rd Generation Toyota Prius Inverter with Converter ????
thanks ...
Not yet, but I hope to this summer.
Thanks for your feedback!
Can 4th gen inverter be put into 3rd Gen
Hi professor you know where I can buy the dc dc converter? Because the dealer don't know nothing about this piece!!
The dealer is the only place besides a salvage yard that sells it. Try a different parts person. It is under the inverter in the same housing.
Hi folks, may I know which video is talking about resolver? Thank you very much!
This one does ruclips.net/video/MZf_BUuW5Qg/видео.html
Thank you very much!
This is called silicon carbide mosfet because of a faster switching than igbt.
Thank you for the great videos I have a 2017 complete engine, inverter, and trans-axle with computer. Is there any way to get it to work with a gen 3 2011 Prius?
thank you
what's the normal running temperature of the cooling oil?
Good question. The reservoir cap has the same pressure rating at the engine coolant reservoir, It could get as hot as engine coolant. The main source of heat is not the inverter, it is the transaxle stator windings. Thank you!
มีสายกราวด์ รัดข้อมือด้วย thank you.
Thank you
What is the difference between this and the prius prime converter
Hej Professor Det er meget interessant og meget fint beskrivelse, selv de mindste fragmenter bliver tydeligt gjort for os elbil interesseret,.
Jeg kan bruge det, til køb af brugte elbiler samt vedligeholdelse, men bliver bedre klædt på til at tale med forhandlerne og værkstedet.

Good afternoon, professor! You have very educational videos. They are very interesting to watch. I have such a problem. I bought an American Toyota Prius 2017 hybrid and live in Ukraine. The authorized dealer does not have any documentation for this machine. I have a " inverter: P0A001C code - Engine Electronics Coolant Temperature Sensor Circuit: Circuit Voltage Out of Range This sensor" . I would be grateful if you tell me. Thank!
Hello sir can i ask you question? If the Toyota prius high voltage battery goes flat completely then how can it be charged? Only dealer can do or it can charged while driving? And also if these hybrid car have an impact at the front or back will there be any switch or fuse will cause the high voltage battery to go open circuit? Also one more if we change the hole inverter and converter assembly change for some reason do we need to reprogram the new one or it will just work like that. Thank you sir
Technically, the dealer is the only place that can charge your flat battery. You cannot drive it if it is flat. There is a high voltage fuse in the service disconnect lever. You may not have to program the inverter if it is exactly the same part number
@@WeberAuto absolutely understand your point. Coz the high voltage battery is the power that runs the MG2 to role the car down. Thank you so much and i appreciate you took your time to read my question reply it.
Hi quick question why when
My Toyota battery on my 2014 fielder hybrid reaches 2 bars when I drive and mash brakes the idle drops and after raises up after
Good question, I do not know
Nice
Thank you
When will you do a video on Honda’s newer hybrid system? I just bought the new 2019 insight and I’m totally fascinated and curious.
Thanks for your feedback, that would be fun
Does anybody know how powerful DC-DC converter(120v-12v) on prius?
1st gen = 100A
2nd gen = 80A
3rd gen = 120A
4th gen = 100A
WeberAuto thanks! Just connected 150A inverter DC12-AC120 - and looks like it’s bad idea. I wonder to find DC120-AC120 inverter to avoid that 80A converter
Bonjour ,vos vidéos sont vraiment bien .J'aimerais suivre une formation sur les prius dans votre atelier.
