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 voltage
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 high voltage
battery to three-phase AC power and controls
motor torque (revolution) by regulating the motor
current.
Electric air
conditioner
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
high voltage battery.
The DC/DC converter reduces the voltage of the
high voltage battery to provide power to the
12-volt battery in order to operate the vehicle’s
electric components (headlights, audio system,
etc.) .
The J/B provides electric power from the high
voltage battery to all high voltage parts of the
vehicle.
12-volt 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.
High voltage 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
voltage 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
malfunction occurs in the 12-volt battery.

3-3 Turning OFF the Power Switch
1. Check the READY indicator status. If it is ON, the high voltage system is active.
2.

Press the power switch once to turn OFF the high
voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator is OFF.
3.
If possible, keep the Nissan Intelligent Key® at least
5 meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle to prevent
accidentally turning ON the EV system while the
roadside assistance is in progress.
3-4 Water Submersion Damage level of submerged vehicle may not be apparent. Handling a submerged
vehicle
without appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will result in serious
injury or death from electrical shock. • The power switch of the submerged vehicle must be turned OFF first, if possible.
Then
the vehicle must be completely out of the water and drained to avoid electrical
shock.
• If the vehicle is in the water, to avoid electrical shock NEVER touch the high
voltage
components, harnesses or service plug. PPE must always be worn when
touching or working on high voltage components.
Only first responders wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should shut down the
vehicle. After shut down, standard towing/recovery procedures can be used. Refer to 4-3 Towing
(RAG–21) . AAYIA0091ZZ

5. Storing the Vehicle
The service plug must be removed to shut down the high voltage system for storage.
Do
not store a vehicle inside a structure. Keep the vehicle away from other vehicles if the
high voltage battery is severely damaged. There is possibility of delayed fire from a
severely damaged high voltage battery.
5-1 Danger Sign Example
If LEAF needs to be stored or left unattended, the high voltage system must be shut down by removing the
service plug (refer to 5-3 Removing the Service Plug (RAG–33)) , and a sign put on the vehicle indicating it
is

an electric vehicle with high voltage dangers. For example:

For
protection from high voltage
electrical shock
Insulated shoes –
Safety

shield –
Leather

gloves Must be able to fasten tight
around

the wrist (worn over
insulated gloves) . To protect insulated gloves
Wrenches Size: 10mm
T
o remove the service plug access
cover bolts.
To remove the 12-volt battery terminal
bolt.
Solvent resistant protection
gloves –
To utilize in the event of a high voltage
battery electrolytic solution leak.
Solvent resistant protection
shoes –
Absorbent pad The same pad used for internal
combustion engine fluids can be
used. To absorb any high voltage battery
electrolytic solution leakage.
Standard fire fighting
equipment Standard fire fighting equipment
Depending on type of fire (vehicle
or battery) use standard fire
fighting equipment (water or
extinguisher) . To extinguish a fire.
Insulated tape Insulating To cover any damaged harnesses to
protect from and prevent electrical
shock. Tape should cover all bare or
damaged wire.
5-2.1 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Protective Wear Control
Perform an inspection of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) items before beginning work. Do not use
any damaged PPE items.
RAG–32

5-2.2 Daily Inspection
This
inspection is performed before and after use. The worker who will be using the items should perform
the inspection and check for deterioration and damage. • Insulated rubber gloves should be inspected for scratches, holes and tears. (Visual check and airleakage test)
• Insulated safety boots should be inspected for holes, damage, nails, metal pieces, wear or other problems on the soles. (Visual check)
• Insulated rubber sheet should be inspected for tears. (Visual check)
5-2.3 Insulated Tools
When performing work at locations where high voltage is applied (such as terminals) , use insulated tools
meeting 1,000V/300A specifications.
5-3 Removing the Service Plug •
Do not remove the service plug without always wearing appropriate Personal
Protective
Equipment (PPE) to help protect the responder from serious injury or death
by electrical shock.
• Immediately cover the service plug socket with insulated tape. The high voltage
battery
retains high voltage power even when the service plug is removed. To avoid
electric shock, NEVER touch the terminals inside the socket. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury
or

death, the service plug should be securely stored away from the vehicle while the vehicle
is in storage.
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.
