P1C84 on 2023 Toyota Crown — High Voltage Power Resource Circuit Short During Ready ON
1 vehicles · 1 makes
Most Reported On
P1C84 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “High Voltage Power Resource Circuit Short During Ready ON.” Toyota bulletin T-SB-0085-23 defines sub-code P1C8449 as 'High Voltage Power Resource Circuit Short during Ready ON.' The hybrid control ECU monitors the high-voltage power supply path between the traction battery and the inverter/converter assembly while the vehicle is in Ready. If it measures a short-circuit condition on that circuit during Ready ON it illuminates the hybrid system warning lamp and puts the vehicle into fail-safe. Toyota documented this being triggered in below-freezing ambient temperatures (under 32F / 0C) on a wide range of 2016-2023 hybrids, with the fix being a software update rather than inverter replacement. This code is most commonly reported on 2023 Toyota Crown.
