INFINITI Q70 HYBRID 2014 Dismantling Guide

Primary Procedure
NO
TE:
Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the
steering column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once 12V battery is disconnected,
power controls will not operate.
1. Check the READY indicator (A) status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high voltage systemis active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch (B) once to turn OFF the high voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator (A) is off.
If the READY indicator (A) does not turn off, continue to the next steps to open the trunk for 12V
battery negative cable access.
4. If possible, keep the Infiniti Intelligent Key at least 5 meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle (except as noted
below) .
5. Open the trunk using any of the following: a. push-button switch (C) on the lower LH side ofthe instrument panel.
b. trunk button (D) on the Infiniti Intelligent Key [press for longer than one (1) second].
c. trunk open request switch (E) (located above license plate)*.
d. with the mechanical key (F) housed inside the Infiniti Intelligent Key. Method

6. Open the 12V battery service access cover (G) .
7.
Disconnect negative (-) battery cable (H) and cover it with insulated tape.
8. Wait approximately ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high voltage capacitor after the battery cable has been disconnected.
9. Perform the dismantling operation. Refer to 6. Dismantling Information (DG–38). AAYIA0034ZZ

Alternate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses)
NO
TE:
Before removing any fuses, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the steering column,
adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once fuses are removed, power controls will not
operate.
1. Pull release handle (A) to open the hood.
2. Remove fuse box cover (B) .
3. Remove 80A fuse (C) (black) .
4. If you cannot identify the fuse (C) , remove all fuses in the fuse box. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury
or

death, the dismantler should carry the fuse or fuses on his/her person and cover the
fuse box with insulated tape. AAYIA0004GB

5. Open the trunk. The trunk can be opened with the push-button switch (D) on the lower LH side of
the instrument panel or with the mechanical key (E) housed inside the Infiniti Intelligent Key.
6. Open the 12V battery service access cover (F) .
7. Disconnect negative (-) battery cable (G) and cover it with insulated tape.
8. Wait approximately ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high voltage capacitor after the fuse is pulled and battery cable has been disconnected.
9. Perform the dismantling operation. Refer to 6. Dismantling Information (DG–38). AAYIA0011GB
DG–24

Alternate Procedure 2 (Remove Service Plug)
• Do not remove the service plug without always wearing appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) to help protect the dismantler from serious injury or death
by electrical shock.
• Immediately cover the service plug socket with insulated tape. The Li-ion 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 dismantler should carry the service plug on his/her person while work is
in progress.
NOTE: Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the
steering column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once 12V battery is disconnected,
power controls will not operate.
1. Check the READY indicator (A) status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high voltage systemis active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch (B) once to turn OFF the high voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator (A) is off.
If the READY indicator (A) does not turn off, continue to the next steps to open the trunk for 12V
battery negative cable access. AAYIA0062ZZ

4. If possible, keep the Infiniti Intelligent Key at least 5
meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle (except as noted
below) .
5. Open the trunk using any of the following: a. push-button switch (C) on the lower LH side ofthe instrument panel.
b. trunk button (D) on the Infiniti Intelligent Key [press for longer than one (1) second].

6. Open the 12V battery service access cover (G) .
7.
Disconnect negative (-) battery cable (H) and cover it with insulated tape.
8. Open service plug access cover (J) .
9. Remove the service plug (K) by pressing the locking tab (L) and rotating the handle (M) fully outward (N) . Using the handle, pull the service plug (P) completely out of its socket.
10. Cover the service plug socket with insulated tape. AAYIA0035ZZ

11. Wait approximately ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high voltage capacitor after
the service plug has been removed.
12. Perform the dismantling operation. Refer to 6. Dismantling Information (DG–38).

Cutting the Vehicle Body • Do not cut into high voltage related areas to avoid severe personal injury or death.
• Do not cut into the Li-ion 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 approximately ten (10) minutes have passed since the rescuer shut down the high voltage system (refer to
3-4.1 High Voltage System Shut-Down Procedure (DG–19)) , then the dismantler can cut the vehicle
except

for the Li-ion battery. DO NOT cut the Li-ion battery due to possible electrocution risk and electrolyte solution
leakage.
DG–28

SRS Air Bag System Components Location
The
SRS air bag system must not be cut as there is a risk of short circuit and unintentional deployment of
the SRS However, the vehicle can be cut (except inflators) under the following conditions: • The front, side and curtain air bags have deployed.
• At least three (3) minutes have passed after the 12V battery negative (-) cable has beendisconnected and the high voltage system has been shut down.
