DTC P3140: INTERLOCK MALFUNCTION
Circuit Description - DTC P3140 - Information Code 350
NOTE:
• When using an OBD II scan tool other than TOYOTA hand-held
tester, check all the steps.
• When using TOYOTA hand-held tester, confirm the information
code and check it.
If the HV ECU detects the operation of the safety devices (removal of the service plug, inverter
terminal cover and sensor cover) while the vehicle is not running (with the vehicle is stopped), it will
shut down the system main relay. It the safety devices are correctly installed, it will resume the
normal operation after the power source is supplied again. If it does not, there is a possibility of an
open circuit, so perform the same Inspection as the information code 351.
