Title: P310 HYBRID BATTERY CONTROL: HYBRID BATTERY SYSTEM: U029A-123; Lost Communication with
Hybrid Battery Pack Sensor Module; 2008 MY Highlander HV [08/2007 - ]

DTC U029A-123 Lost Communication with Hybrid Battery Pack Sensor Module

DESCRIPTION
The battery smart unit detects the HV battery conditions (voltage, current, and temperature) and the battery
cooling fan voltage, and sends the detected signals to the hybrid vehicle control ECU via the serial communication
system.

DTC NO. DTC DETECTION CONDITION TROUBLE AREA

Wire harness or
connector
Problem in serial communication between the battery smart unit and Hybrid vehicle
U029A-123
hybrid vehicle control ECU (1 trip detection) control ECU
Battery pack wire
Battery smart unit

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If a malfunction in the communication line between the battery smart unit and hybrid vehicle control ECU is
detected, the hybrid vehicle control ECU illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
If the battery cover is removed, install it before turning the power switch on (IG) or (READY). If the power
switch is turned on (IG) or (READY) with the battery cover removed, U029A-123 may be set.
Before inspecting the high-voltage system, take safety precautions to prevent electrical shocks, such as
wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip. After removing the service plug grip, put it in
your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the
high-voltage system.
After disconnecting the service plug grip, wait for at least 5 minutes before touching any of the
high-voltage connectors or terminals.

HINT:
At least 5 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter
assembly.
