• 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 Do not perform this procedure if the high voltage battery is damaged. If you are unsure of
battery

damage, use extreme caution and always wear appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) when working on high voltage components.
Li-ion 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 stopped.
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.

• The vehicle contains parts that contain powerful magnets. If a person who is wearing a
pacemaker or other medical device is close to these parts, the medical device may be
affected by the magnets. Such persons must not perform work on the vehicle.
• Be sure to check the READY indicator (1) in the instrument cluster, and verify that the READY indicator is off and the high voltage system is stopped.
• After the high voltage system is shut down, please wait for approximately ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high voltage capacitor. While waiting, do not
operate any vehicle functions.
• Remove the 12V battery negative (-) terminal and wait for three (3) minutes to discharge the air bag capacitor. Even though the 12V battery negative (-) is disconnected, the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bag maintains voltage for three (3) minutes.
There is a possibility of sudden SRS air bag inflation due to harness short circuit or
damage and it may cause serious injuries.
• The 12V system will remain active even after the 12V battery negative (-) terminal is removed while the high voltage system is active. This is because the DC/DC converter will
not shut down and power will be supplied to the 12V system and high voltage system
continuously.
Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the steering column,
adjust the seats, unlock the doors, open the trunk, etc. as required. Once the 12V battery is disconnected,
power controls will not operate.
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 and disconnect the 12V battery. Refer to Primary Procedure (DG–21)
.
•

Remove the fuse for the high voltage control system and disconnect the 12V battery.
Refer to Alternate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses) (DG–23) .
•

Remove the service plug and disconnect the 12V battery. Refer to Alternate Procedure 2 (Remove
Service

Plug) (DG–25) .DG–20
