NISSAN LEAF 2017 1.G Dismantling Guide

3-4.4 Primary Procedure
1. Check the READY indicator status. If it is ON, the high-voltage system is active.
2.

Place the selector lever in the Park (P) position.
3. Press the power switch once to turn OFF the high- voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator is OFF and continue to the next steps to
open

the hood for 12-volt battery negative cable access.
If the READY indicator does not turn off,
refer to 3-4.5 Alternate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses)
(DG–22)
4. If possible, keep the Nissan Intelligent Key® at least 5
meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle.
5. Open the hood.
6. Disconnect the negative (-) 12-volt battery cable (1) . Insulate the negative (-) battery cable terminal with
insulated tape.
NOTE: : Arrow in illustration depicts vehicle front
direction.
7. Wait

at least ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high-voltage capacitor after
the power switch has been turned OFF.
8. Perform the dismantling operation. AAYIA0091ZZ

Insulate the negative (-) battery cable terminal with
insulated tape.
NOTE: : Arrow in illustration depicts vehicle front
direction.
7. Wait

at least ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high-voltage capacitor after
the fuses are pulled.
8. Perform the dismantling operation. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury
or

death, the dismantler should carry the fuses on his/her person and cover the fuse box
with insulated tape. 1

3-4.6 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 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 dismantler should carry the service plug on his/her person while work is in
progress.
1. Insert a suitable tool (1) under the RH rear corner of theaccess trim cover located on the floor behind the center
console. Pry up (2) and remove.
NOTE: : Arrow in illustration depicts vehicle front

3. Remove the service plug using the following steps: (1) pull up and release the green lever, (2)
press the locking tab to release and rotate fully upward, (3) pull the service plug completely out of
its socket.
4. Wait at least (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high-voltage capacitor after the
service plug has been removed.
5. Open the hood.
6. Disconnect the negative (-) 12-volt battery cable (1) . Insulate the negative (-) battery cable terminal with
insulated tape.

3-5 Cutting the Vehicle Body
• Do not cut into high-voltage related areas to avoid severe personal injury or death.
• Do not cut into the high-voltage 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 at least ten (10) minutes have passed since the dismantler shut down the high-voltage system (refer to
3-4 High-voltage System Shut-Down Procedures (DG–16)) , then the dismantler can cut the vehicle
except

for the high-voltage battery. DO NOT cut the high-voltage battery due to possible electrocution risk and electrolyte solution
leakage.
DG–27

3-5.1 SRS Air Bag System Components Location
The
SRS air bag system and inflators 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 12-volt battery negative (-) cable has beendisconnected and the high-voltage system has been shut down.
