relay NISSAN MURANO HYBRID 2016 3.G First Responders Guide

The following warning label is applied to the high-voltage battery located inside the passenger compartment
center
console.
2-5 High-voltage Safety System
The high-voltage safety system is intended to help keep vehicle occupants and emergency responders safe
from high-voltage electricity. • A high-voltage fuse provides short circuit protection inside the high-voltage battery.
• The high-voltage safety system is insulated from the metal chassis.
• Positive and negative high-voltage power cables are connected to the high-voltage battery and arecontrolled by normally open system main relays (SMR1 and SMR2) . When the vehicle is shut off,
the relays stop electrical flow from leaving the high-voltage battery. However, it can take
approximately ten (10) minutes for the high-voltage capacitor to fully discharge. AAYIA0456ZZ
FRG–14

• The high-voltage system and high-voltage capacitor may remain powered for up to
approximately 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off. Appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) must always be worn when touching or working on high-voltage
components to avoid risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury or death.
• The high-voltage battery retains high-voltage at all times. Appropriate PPE must always be worn when touching or working on high-voltage components to avoid risk of electrical
shock and severe personal injury or death.
• A ground fault monitor continuously monitors for high-voltage leakage to the metal chassis while the vehicle is running. If a malfunction is detected, the HPCM (hybrid powertrain control module) will
illuminate the hybrid system warning lamp in the instrument cluster.
•

The high-voltage battery relays (SMR1 and SMR2) will automatically open to stop the electrical flow
in a front, side or certain rear collisions that are sufficient enough to activate the supplemental
restraint system (SRS) . Passenger Compartment

2-6 High-voltage Circuit Shut-Off System
This
vehicle is equipped with a system to shut off the current from the high-voltage battery by the following
methods: Service plug
Positioned on top of the high-voltage battery, this plug shuts off the output of
high-voltage
when manually removed.
System main relays
(located in the high-
voltage battery) Controlled by the ignition switch, these relays are powered by the 12-volt
system and shut off high-voltage from the high-voltage battery.
Emergency shut-off
system In the case of a collision (front and side collisions in which the air bags are
deployed, certain rear collisions) or certain system malfunctions this system
is designed to shut off the high-voltage from the high-voltage battery.
2-7 Preventing Electrical Shock 1. If it is necessary to touch any of the high-voltage harnesses or components, always wearappropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) [refer to 3-1 Preparation Items (FRG–18)].
Shut

off the high-voltage system by referring to 3-3.1 High-voltage System Shut-Down
Procedure

(FRG–22) .
2.

To avoid the risk of electrocution, NEVER touch the inside of the high-voltage battery with bare
hands after shutting off the high-voltage system. The high-voltage battery maintains charge even
though the high-voltage system is shut down. PPE must always be worn when touching or
working on high-voltage components.
3. Cover damaged high-voltage components with insulated tape.
2-8 Emergency Medical Equipment
The high-voltage system should not interfere with emergency medical equipment which must be used in or
near the vehicle at an accident scene.
