1. About the Murano HYBRID
This
hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) uses two types of batteries. One is a 12-volt battery that is the same as
the battery in vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. The 12-volt battery is located in the front of
the vehicle on the left side of the engine compartment. The other is the high-voltage battery for the traction
motor which propels the vehicle. The high-voltage battery is located under the center console between the
driver’s and passenger’s seats with service plug access through the center console area storage bin.
When the high-voltage battery level is low, engine output is used to generate power from the traction motor
and charge the high-voltage battery. Additionally, the vehicle system can recharge the high-voltage battery
by converting driving force into electricity while the vehicle is decelerating or being driven downhill. This is
called regenerative charging.

2. Basic High-voltage System and 12-volt System Information
2-1
Battery Information
The Murano HYBRID utilizes two batteries in order to supply both high and low voltage.
2-1.1 12-Volt Battery • The Murano HYBRID contains a conventional lead-acid12-volt battery.
• The 12-volt battery is located in the front of the vehicle on the left side of the engine compartment.
• The 12-volt battery is charged by the high-voltage battery through the DC/DC converter. : Vehicle front
2-1.2
High-voltage Battery
• The Murano HYBRID contains a high-voltage battery.
• The high-voltage battery is mounted under the center console and enclosed in a metal case.
• The high-voltage battery stores approximately 144 volts DC.
• A vent hose is provided to exhaust gasses outside the vehicle, if necessary.
• Air for battery cooling is drawn in from the front of the center console, under the instrument panel, and is vented
into the RH side B-pillar with the use of a fan located
under the passenger seat.
The high-voltage battery supplies power to the following: • High-voltage harnesses
• DC/DC converter
• Traction motor inverter
• Traction motor AAYIA0465ZZ

2-4 High-voltage Safety Measures
Circuit insulation
The high-voltage positive (+) and negative (-) circuits are insulated
from the metal chassis.
Reducing the risk of electrocution The high-voltage components and harnesses have insulated cases or orange-colored coverings which provide insulation and easy
identification.
The high-voltage battery case is electrically connected to the vehicle
ground. This connection helps protect the vehicle occupants and
vehicle dismantlers from high-voltage electrical shock.
Identification The high-voltage components are labeled “WARNING” similar to label
shown below. All high-voltage harnesses are coated in orange.
2-4.1 Warning Labels
The following warning label is applied to the high-voltage inverter located in the engine compartment.
The following warning label is applied to the service plug access cover located inside the passenger
compartment center console. AAYIA0454ZZ

DG–13

• The high-voltage system and high-voltage capacitor may remain powered for up to
approximately 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off. Appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) must always be worn when touching or working on high-voltage
components to avoid risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury or death.
• The high-voltage battery retains high-voltage at all times. Appropriate PPE must always be worn when touching or working on high-voltage components to avoid risk of electrical
shock and severe personal injury or death.
• A ground fault monitor continuously monitors for high-voltage leakage to the metal chassis while the vehicle is running. If a malfunction is detected, the HPCM (hybrid powertrain control module) will
illuminate the hybrid system warning lamp in the instrument cluster.
•

The high-voltage battery relays (SMR1 and SMR2) will automatically open to stop the electrical flow
in a front, side or certain rear collisions that are sufficient enough to activate the supplemental
restraint system (SRS) . Passenger Compartment

3-2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Insulated Tools
3-2.1
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.
3-2.2 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)
3-2.3 Insulated Tools
When performing work at locations where high-voltage is applied (such as terminals) , use insulated tools
meeting 1,000V/300A specifications.
3-3 Discharge Procedures DANGER
Do not perform this procedure if the battery is damaged. If you are unsure of battery
damage,

use extreme caution and wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) .
High-voltage battery discharging must take place before dismantling. Sufficient discharging can be achieved
by following these steps.
1. Place the shift selector into the Park (P) position
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Set wheel chocks to ensure the vehicle is completely immobilized.
4. Fasten the driver seat belt and close the driver door.
5. Apply foot brake and press the ignition switch to turn the system ON. Confirm READY indicator in instrument cluster turns ON.
a.
If the engine starts, leave the engine running until reaching normal operating temperature
and the idling stops. It may take more than 10 minutes for complete engine warm up and
idling to stop.
b. If the engine is at normal operating temperature and does NOT start, move on to next step.
6. Remove the shift lock cover (A) using a suitable tool.
7. Push down the shift lock (C) as shown in the illustration.
8. Push the shift selector button (B) and move the shift selector to Neutral (N) position (D) while holding down
the shift lock.
NOTE:
DO NOT press accelerator or foot brake after
moving the shift selector to the Neutral (N)
position. Otherwise high-voltage battery will start
to be charged. C B

NOTE:
The
engine must not be running at this time. If the engine has restarted, repeat the
previous steps.
9. Release the parking brake.
10. Unbuckle the seat belt and open the driver door. The READY indicator should remain ON
and

the engine should not be running.
11.
Turn ON electric devices such as headlamps, A/C (set to the coldest temperature) and rear window
defogger to discharge the high-voltage battery. Allow approximately 15 minutes to discharge.
Discharge is complete when the READY indicator (B) (green) turns OFF, the hybrid system
warning

indicator (C) (orange) turns ON and the message display indicates “Li-ion battery low”.
12. Press the ignition switch (A) to turn the system OFF.
