service indicator INFINITI Q70 HYBRID 2014 First Responder´s

• 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 (FRG–21).
•

Remove the fuse for the high voltage control system and disconnect the 12V battery. Refer to Alter-
nate

Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses) (FRG–23) .
•

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

Plug) (FRG–25) .FRG–20

Alternate Procedure 2 (Remove Service Plug)
• 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 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 rescuer 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
