Was zu tun ist

Expect reduced power, and expect the car to be more limited than usual.

A second inverter on a hybrid or electric vehicle usually drives a second motor. If your car has motors on both axles, it will probably still drive on the remaining one — that redundancy is designed in — but a four-wheel-drive vehicle running on one axle does not handle the way you are used to. Take extra care in the wet, in snow, and anywhere traction matters.

If your hybrid's battery has stopped charging while the engine runs, that is likely the same fault, and it will end with the battery flat and no electric assistance at all. Worth getting seen promptly.

Do not investigate anything orange. Orange cabling marks the high-voltage system, and those voltages are lethal. Take the vehicle to somebody trained and equipped for high-voltage work — this is one of the few faults where the right advice is to leave it entirely alone.

Was dieser Code bedeutet

The second DC to AC converter control module has stopped being heard from. See U0288 for what these converters do and the high-voltage caution, which applies here without modification.

A second inverter almost always means propulsion rather than accessories, and that narrows the picture usefully. Vehicles carry more than one traction inverter when they have more than one drive motor — a second motor on the other axle for four-wheel drive, or a separate generator and motor arrangement in a hybrid transmission.

The consequence follows from the architecture, and it is worth predicting: on a vehicle with independent motors front and rear, losing one inverter usually leaves the vehicle drivable on the other axle. That is a designed-in redundancy rather than a lucky escape, and it is why this code is marked drivable — but a four-wheel-drive vehicle running on one axle handles differently from the one the driver knows, particularly in poor conditions, and expects less of itself than the driver may.

So the practical advice is to expect reduced power, expect the vehicle to be more limited than usual, and not to assume normal traction.

On a hybrid where the second unit serves the generator side, the effect is different again: the vehicle may be unable to charge its pack from the engine, so it runs down the battery and then loses electric assistance altogether. A hybrid whose battery has stopped charging while the engine runs is that.

Everything at U0288 about high-voltage safety applies and should not be diluted. Orange cabling means voltages that kill, and this is work for somebody trained and equipped. Do not open covers, disconnect connectors or probe circuits on the high-voltage side.

CarGeek ist ein Nachschlagewerk, kein Werkstatthandbuch. Die Seiten entstehen aus öffentlichen Quellen und aus dem, was andere festgestellt haben, nie aus den Serviceunterlagen des Herstellers; für Ihr konkretes Fahrzeug können sie daher falsch oder unvollständig sein. Ein Teil des Beschriebenen birgt echte Gefahren: Hochspannung, Kraftstoff unter Druck, gespeicherte Energie sowie heiße oder bewegte Teile.

Lassen Sie alles, wonach Sie handeln wollen, von einer fachlich geschulten Person anhand der herstellereigenen Vorgehensweise für Ihr Fahrzeug prüfen. Nichts hiervon ersetzt diese Vorgehensweise.

Was einen Bericht lesenswert macht:

  • Das Fahrzeug — Marke, Modell, Baujahr und Motor. Derselbe Fehler verhält sich auf jedem anders.
  • Was Sie gemessen haben, nicht nur, was Sie getauscht haben.
  • Was es tatsächlich behoben hat — oder dass nichts es behoben hat, was ebenso nützlich ist.
