NOTE:
  1. Symptom: No acceleration, rattling or engine braking
  2. MIL: ON (Check the information code number from freeze frame data)
  3. Service Lamp: OFF
  4. E/C Normal Close State (Lock Up: ON): it is temporarily opened at startup and then closed.
  5. Lock Up: Engine clutch ON state (HEV driving state: Engine driving + EV motor driving)
  6. Lock Up: Engine clutch OFF state (EV READY driving state: EV motor driving)
Information Code Fault Type HCA Limp Home Mode HCU Limp Home Mode
1 Angular Sensor Signal Invalid Signal_LCU E/C Mechanical close (HCA PWR OFF): Moving to OPEN by diaphragm spring - Fixing the current position or moving to the close, Close Not guaranteed
  1. IG Start: No driving (EV READY, Engine start and drive are not allowed at restarting after IG OFF)
  2. E/C Lock Up: HEV driving (E/C lockup and operating DCT) - Cliff (slip) control is operated at engine idle
  3. E/C Open: EV driving
  4. E/C Slip: EV driving

    * Maintain EV mode when entering E/C Open or Slip (engine torque is transmitted): it is not change to HEV mode

  5. E/C Unknown: EV driving (Applies to Information Code 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 17, 21)
