NOTE:
Components with white number in black background are high voltage components.No. Component
LocationDescription
Charge

port Under hood Connecting port for EVSE (Electric Vehicle
Supply Equipment) . Two ports are available:
Normal charge and quick charge (if so
equipped) .
High voltage
cables Under hood and
undercarriage Orange-colored power cables carry high volt-
age current between each of the high voltage
components.
Traction Motor Under hood Converts three-phase AC power to drive
power (torque) which propels the vehicle.
Inverter Under hood Converts the DC power stored in the Li-ion
battery to three-phase AC power and controls
motor torque (revolution) by regulating the
motor current.
Electric air condi-
tioner compressor Under hood
Air conditioner compressor
Power Delivery
Module (PDM)
• On Board Charger
• DC/DC Converter
• High voltage junction box (J/B) Under hood
The PDM includes an On Board Charger, DC/DC
converter and high voltage junction box (J/B) .
The On Board Charger converts single-phase AC
power from a home power outlet to DC power and
increases the voltage in order to charge the Li-ion
battery.
The DC/DC converter reduces the voltage of the Li-ion
battery to provide power to the 12V battery in order to
operate the vehicle’s electric components (headlights,
audio system, etc.) .
The J/B provides electric power from the Li-ion battery
to all high voltage parts of the vehicle.
12V Battery Under hood A lead-acid battery that supplies power to the low
voltage devices.
Cabin heater Interior (This unit is
installed behind the
instrument panel) This is the electric heat source for the cabin
heater. It heats the interior of the vehicle.
Li-ion (Lithium ion)
battery Undercarriage Stores and outputs DC power (Maximum voltage
398.4V) needed to propel the vehicle.
High voltage battery
service disconnect Rear seat floor Isolates the battery from the rest of the high volt-
age electrical system.
Brake power supply
backup unit Cargo area (This unit
is installed behind a
trim panel to prevent
access) Power supply backup unit for the brake system. It
supplies power to the brake system if a malfunc-
tion occurs in the 12V battery.

3-4.2 Indications the High Voltage System is ON
1. If the READY indicator is ON, the high voltage system is active.
2.

The high voltage system is active if any charge indicator
is ON (blue LEDs on top of the instrument panel) .
Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, unlock the doors, and open
the rear hatch as required. Once 12V battery is disconnected, power controls will not operate.
3-4.3 Powering Down the High Voltage System
The high voltage system can be shut down with any 1 of the following procedures: • Turn OFF the power switch anddisconnect the 12V battery. Refer to
3-3.4 Primary
Procedure

(DG–20) .
•

Remove the fuses for the high voltage control system and disconnect the 12V battery. Refer to
3-3.5 Alternate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses) (DG–21) .
•

Remove the service plug and disconnect the 12V battery. Refer to 3-3.6 Alternate Procedure 2
(Remove

Service Plug) (DG–24) .
3-4.4

Primary Procedure
1. Check the READY indicator status. If it is ON, the high voltage system is active.
2.

Place the selector lever in the Park (P) position.
3. Press the power switch once to turn OFF the high voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator is OFF and continue to the next steps to
open

the hood for 12V battery negative cable access.
If the READY indicator does not turn off, refer to
Alternate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses) (DG–21)
4. If possible, keep the Nissan Intelligent Key® at least 5 meters
(16 feet) away from the vehicle. AAYIA0155ZZ
