5-2 Remove Service Plug
DANGER
• 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.
NOTE: Before disconnecting the 12-volt battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust
the steering column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once 12-volt battery is
disconnected, power controls will not operate.
1. If possible, check the READY indicator status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high-
voltage

system is active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch once to turn OFF the high-voltage system. Then verify whether the READY
indicator is off.
