The high-voltage system is active if any charge indicator
is ON (blue LEDs on top of the instrument panel) .
Before disconnecting the 12-volt battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, unlock the doors, and
open the rear hatch as required. Once 12-volt 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 12-volt battery.
Refer to 3-4.4 Primary Procedure (DG–21) .
•

Remove the fuses for the high-voltage control system and disconnect the 12-volt battery.
Refer to 3-4.5 Alternate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses) (DG–22).
•

Remove the service plug and disconnect the 12-volt battery.
Refer to 3-4.6 Alternate Procedure 2 (Remove Service Plug) (DG–25). AAYIA0155ZZ

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 12-volt battery negative cable access.
If the READY indicator does not turn off,
refer to 3-4.5 Alternate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses)
(DG–22)
4. If possible, keep the Nissan Intelligent Key® at least 5
meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle.
5. Open the hood.
6. Disconnect the negative (-) 12-volt battery cable (1) . Insulate the negative (-) battery cable terminal with
insulated tape.
NOTE: : Arrow in illustration depicts vehicle front
direction.
7. Wait

at least ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high-voltage capacitor after
the power switch has been turned OFF.
8. Perform the dismantling operation. AAYIA0091ZZ

6. Disconnect the negative (-) 12-volt battery cable (1) .
Insulate the negative (-) battery cable terminal with
insulated tape.
NOTE: : Arrow in illustration depicts vehicle front
direction.
7. Wait

at least ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high-voltage capacitor after
the fuses are pulled.
8. Perform the dismantling operation. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury
or

death, the dismantler should carry the fuses on his/her person and cover the fuse box
with insulated tape. 1

3-5 Cutting the Vehicle Body
• Do not cut into high-voltage related areas to avoid severe personal injury or death.
• Do not cut into the high-voltage battery to avoid severe personal injury or death.
• When removing parts, NEVER touch the high-voltage parts or the insides of the
exposed orange-colored high-voltage cables to avoid severe personal injury or death.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must always be worn when touching or
working on high-voltage components. • To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury
or
death, the dismantler should carry the fuses or service plug on his/her person while
work is in progress.
• Do not cut air bag parts to avoid unintended deployment of the air bags and the risk of severe personal injury or death.
If at least ten (10) minutes have passed since the dismantler shut down the high-voltage system (refer to
3-4 High-voltage System Shut-Down Procedures (DG–16)) , then the dismantler can cut the vehicle
except

for the high-voltage battery. DO NOT cut the high-voltage battery due to possible electrocution risk and electrolyte solution
leakage.
DG–27

10. After starting the EV system, carefully disconnect the negative cable and then the positive cable
() . Keep the EV system on for over twenty (20) minutes to charge the 12-volt
battery.
11. If necessary, connect the vehicle to a charging station or EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) to charge the high-voltage battery. The vehicle cannot be driven unless the
high-voltage battery is charged.
NOTE:
If it is not possible to turn the LEAF system ON by following this procedure, it is
recommended you contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer immediately.
4-2 P (Park) Position Release Procedure
If you need to release the vehicle from the P (Park) position, proceed as follows. When power switch is
turned OFF or 12-volt battery is low, LEAF automatically shifts to P position.
NOTE: This procedure requires two (2) people.
1. To start the EV system with a booster battery, refer to 4. Jump Starting (DG–33).
2.

Turn power switch ON by pushing the power switch 2 times without pressing brake pedal.
3. Confirm parking brake is applied.
4. Close all doors and press and hold the brake pedal.
5. Place the selector lever in the N (Neutral) position.
6. Remove the following 2 fuses:
• F/L 40A PBW MTR (under hood fuse and relay box)
• METER 1 10A (in the cabin fuse box)
