Narrative:

At about 1;500 ft after takeoff; ECAM [for] hydraulic yellow rsvr ovht illuminated. After safely airborne and the after takeoff checklist completed; I completed the ECAM and then the appropriate flight manual procedure for the overheat [condition]. During cruise and after sending maintenance our mrm code and other information for the ECAM fault; maintenance informed us that the fault was in the switch for the yellow system engine driven pump. The flight manual directs that; after the overheat indication clear and during approach; turn the yellow system engine driven pump and ptu back on. With this additional information from maintenance; the captain and I elected not to; but rather leave the yellow system depressurized. We had already determined the landing distance with the yellow system unpressurized and verified with dispatch that this would not be an issue. The approach and landing was completed uneventfully by the captain.
