Battery Hyundai Nexo 2019 Repair Manual

H6
Disconnecting negative (-) battery cable
1. Fold up the luggage board of the
liftgate.
2. Disconnect the negative (-) con- nector.
Hydrogen gas detection sensors
They detect a hydrogen leak and
informs a warning of hydrogen leak
to a driver. As informing a warning,
the sensors automatically shut off
hydrogen. Sensors are installed
around the hydrogen storage tanks
and FCEV system module.
These sensors prevent a hydrogen
leak in an emergency. Even if the
hydrogen leak occurs, the Fuel cell
electric operating does not active.
The system operating is changed to
EV (Electric vehicle) mode and you
may drive the vehicle about 2 miles
(3 km). However, we recommend
that you stop the vehicle to the safe-
ty place and contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Never touch orange or high
voltage labeled components
including wires, cables, and
connections.
If the insulators or covers are
damaged or removed, severe
injury or death from electrocu-
tion may occur.
WARNING
In the fuel cell system, the bat-
tery uses high voltage to oper-
ate the motor and other compo-
nents.
This high voltage battery sys-
tem can be very dangerous.
Never touch the system. If you
touch the battery system, seri-
ous injury or death may occur.
WARNING

H7
OFEQ018010
•Do not disassemble or assem-
ble the high voltage battery
system. Doing so may result
in electric shock causing
death or serious injury.
If you disassemble or assem-
ble system components
improperly, it may damage the
performance and reliability of
your vehicle.
If coolant and electrolyte
come in contact with your
body, clothes or eyes, immedi-
ately flush with a large quanti-
ty of fresh tap water. Have
your eyes examined by a doc-
tor as soon as possible.
WARNING
Never assemble or disassemble
the high voltage battery system.
If you assemble or disassem-
ble the high voltage battery
system, the durability and
performance of the vehicle
may be damaged.
When you want to check the
high voltage battery system,
contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not touch the high voltage
battery and high voltage cable
connected to motor (orange
color). Severe burns and elec-
tric shock may occur. For your
safety, do not touch the cover
of electronic components and
electronic cable. Do not
remove the cover of electron-
ic components and electronic
cable. In particular, never
touch the high voltage battery
system when the FCEV sys-
tem is operating. It may result
in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Never use the package mod-
ules (high voltage battery,
inverter, converter) for any
other purpose.
Do not use an after-market
battery charger to charge the
high voltage battery. Doing so
may result in death or serious
injury.
Never get near or put a high
voltage battery system in a
fire. Doing so may result in
serious burns.
Never drill into, strike or oth-
erwise damage the package
modules. An electric shock
may occur resulting in seri-
ous injury or death.

This vehicle uses the high volt-
age battery system to generate
high voltage.
High voltage in the battery sys-
tem is very dangerous and can
cause severe burns and electric
shock. This may result in seri-
ous injury or death.
For your safety, never touch,
replace, dismantle or remove
the high voltage battery sys-
tem including components,
cables and connectors.
Severe burns or electric
shock may result in serious
injury or death if you do not
follow this warning.
When the high voltage battery
system operates, the battery
system can be hot. Always be
careful because burns or elec-
tric shock may be caused by
high voltage.
Do not drop water or liquid on
to Fuel cell power module
compartment. The system
components are covered. If
you drop water or liquid on to
system components, it may
result in electric shock.
WARNING
When the vehicle is paint
baked, do not pass 30 min-
utes in 158°F (70°C) or 20 min-
utes in 176°F (80°C) degree.
When you clean the fuel cell
power module compartment,
do not wash using water.
Water may cause an electric
shock to occur and damage
electronic parts and compo-
nents.
CAUTION
Do not assemble or disassem-
ble the hydrogen tank.
Improper work may damage
the performance and reliabili-
ty and unexpected problem
may occur. For hydrogen tank
work, contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Never drill into, strike or oth-
erwise damage the hydrogen
tank. Unexpected problem
may occur resulting in seri-
ous injury and death.
Never get near or put a hydro-
gen tank in a fire. Doing so
may result in big injury.
Never use the hydrogen tank
for any other purpose.
WARNING

Service plug
OFEQ018011
The FCEV system contains
many electronic components.
High voltage components like
cables and other parts may emit
electromagnetic waves. Even if
the electromagnetic cover
blocks electromagnetic emis-
sions, electromagnetic waves
may have an effect on electron-
ic appliances. If you park the
vehicle for a long time, the high
voltage battery or 12V battery
will discharge. You need to drive
the vehicle several times per
month. We recommend driving
at least 10 minutes or 2 miles (3
km) when you drive the vehicle.
If the high voltage battery is dis-
charged and if it is impossible
to jump start the vehicle contact
your HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
When you start the FCEV sys-
tem in the "P" or "N" gear
position, the "Ready ( )"
indicator is illuminated in the
cluster. The driver can drive
the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle,
you should turn off the sys-
tem or shift into the "P" posi-
tion. If you depress the accel-
erator pedal by mistake and
the vehicle is not in the "P"
position, the vehicle will move
abruptly. This may result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Never touch the service plug
under the rear seat.
The service plug is attached to
the high voltage battery system.
Touching the service plug will
result in death or serious injury.
Service personnel should fol-
low procedures in service man-
ual.

When the high voltage battery
is weak
When the high voltage battery is
weak due to driving on a hill for a
long time or accelerating and decel-
erating the vehicle repeatedly, the
acceleration performance may be
lower than usual. In this case, be
cautious not to overtake other vehi-
cles.
If the 12 volt battery is dis-
charged
This vehicle does not have a regular
12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion polymer
type integrated into the high voltage
battery. The vehicle has a 12V bat-
tery protection system that cuts 12V
battery from vehicle draw to prevent
full discharge.
If the 12V battery is discharged, you
should try charging it by pressing the
"12V BATT RESET" button.
Using the 12V battery resetswitch
1. Press the 12V Battery Reset
switch to reconnect the 12V bat-
tery.
2. Start the vehicle within 15 sec- onds of pressing the 12V Battery
Reset switch.
3. After starting vehicle ( indica- tor on), move the vehicle outside
and keep the vehicle ready ( )
mode more than 30 minutes safe-
ly to charge the 12V battery.

If you do not start the vehicle imme-
diately after pressing the 12V Battery
Reset switch, the power of 12V bat-
tery is automatically disconnected
after few seconds to save the 12V
battery from additional discharge. If
the 12V battery is disconnected prior
to starting the vehicle, press the 12V
Battery Reset switch again and then
immediately start the vehicle as
explained.
Repeated use of the 12V Battery
Reset switch without a sufficient ON
cycle (30 Min+) may cause over dis-
charge of the 12V battery, which will
prevent the vehicle from starting. If
the 12V battery is over discharged to
a point that the reset does not work,
try to jump-start the vehicle.Information
After starting the vehicle ( indica-
tor on), the 12V battery is being
charged whether the accelerator pedal
is depressed or not.
❈ ❈ For more details regarding the
jump start, refer to the 'Jump star-
ing' in Owner's manual Chapter 6.
Emergency while driving
If an accident occurs
1. Stop the vehicle, put the gear into
the P (Park) position, set the park-
ing brake, and turn the vehicle off
to prevent the hydrogen and cur-
rent from leaking.
The flow of hydrogen into the fuel cell stack will be shut off to prevent
the current from being generated.
2. Evacuate to the safety place.
3. Call emergency services for help and let them know the vehicle is a
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle.
