the system has changed a lot, 200 volt battery verses a 273 volt. MG1 puts out up to 500 volts and the inverter uses the higher voltage to power MG2 and the inverter drops it to probably 260 max to charge the battery. This is how they get the extra power for the 2k4 and is one of the reasons I feel the 2k4 has less battery motive power at low speed compared to the 2k3. Until you can get the scanner for the 2k4 this is all speculative. Also the MG1 and 2 speeds are higher on the 2k4. MG2 not a lot but MG1 about 25% higher.
