OBD-II (EN): Hybrid Propulsion System Main Relay Control Circuit Fault

Code P3120 signals a fault in the control circuit of the main high-voltage system relay – most commonly found in Toyota/Lexus hybrid vehicles. The cause may be a worn SMR relay, damaged wiring, or a problem with the traction battery. Due to the presence of high voltage (200–650V), diagnosis and repair should be carried out by a certified hybrid system technician.

Symptoms

Check Engine light and hybrid system warning illuminated (READY does not engage or turns off). The vehicle may not start or may shut down while driving. Significant loss of drive power, entering limp mode. Possible complete immobilization of the vehicle.

Possible causes

• Damaged high-voltage system main relay (System Main Relay – SMR1/SMR2/SMR3) • Open or short circuit in the HV relay control circuit wiring • Oxidized or loose connectors in the traction battery relay circuit • Fault in the HV battery control module (Battery ECU / HV ECU) • Degradation or damage to the high-voltage battery pack causing incorrect control signals
