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.
• The high voltage system and high voltage capacitor may remain powered for up to
approximately 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off. 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. 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.

3. Preparation for Dismantling
•Failure to properly shut down the high voltage electrical system before the
Dismantling Procedures are performed will result in serious injury or death from
electrical shock. To prevent serious injury or death, NEVER touch high voltage
harnesses or components without always wearing appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) . PPE must always be worn when touching or working on high
voltage components.
•
If it is necessary to touch any of the high voltage harnesses or components you
must always wear appropriate PPE to avoid electrical shock. PPE must always be worn
when touching or working on high voltage components. Shut down the high voltage
system by following the steps outlined in
3-4.1 High Voltage System Shut-Down
Procedure (DG–21)
. Wait approximately ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the
high voltage capacitor after the high voltage system has been shut down.
• NEVER assume the Pathfinder HYBRID is shut OFF simply because it is quiet.
• If it becomes necessary for the dismantler to leave the vehicle, place a “DANGER” sign [for example, refer to
5. Storing the Vehicle (DG–39)] on the vehicle to alert other people
that the vehicle contains a high voltage battery.
• If the READY
indicator is ON the high voltage system is active.
• If possible, be sure to check the READY
indicator on the instrument cluster and
verify that the READY
indicator is OFF and the high voltage system is stopped.

3-2.2 Daily Inspection
This inspection is performed before and after use. The worker who will be using the items should perform
the inspection and check for deterioration and damage.• Insulated rubber gloves should be inspected for scratches, holes and tears. (Visual check and airleakage test)
• Insulated safety boots should be inspected for holes, damage, nails, metal pieces, wear or other problems on the soles. (Visual check)
• 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 battery is damaged. If you are unsure of battery
damage, use extreme caution and wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) .
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 immobilized.
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.a. If the engine starts, leave the engine running until reaching normal operating temperature and the idling stops. It may take more than 10 minutes for complete engine warm up and
idling to stop.
b. If the engine is at normal operating temperature and does NOT start, move on to next step.
6. Remove the shift lock cover (A) using a suitable tool.
7. Push down the shift lock (B) as shown in the illustration.
8. Push the shift selector button (C) and move the shift selector to Neutral (N) position (D) while holding down
the shift lock.
NOTE:
DO NOT press accelerator or foot brake after
moving the shift selector to the Neutral (N)
position. Otherwise Li-ion battery will start to becharged.
NOTE:
The engine must not be running at this time. If the engine has restarted, repeat the
previous steps.

Primary Procedure
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. If possible, check the READY
indicator status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high
voltage system is active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch once to turn OFF the high voltage system. Verify that the READY indicator is off and
then continue to the next steps to open the hood for

4. Jump Starting
To start the hybrid system with a booster battery, the instructions and precautions below must be followed.
If done incorrectly, jump starting can lead to a 12V battery explosion, resulting in severe
personal injury or death. It could also damage your vehicle.
Jump starting provides power to the 12V system to allow the electrical systems to operate. The electrical
systems must be operating to allow the Li-ion battery to be charged. Jump starting does not charge the
Li-ion battery.
Discharged 12V battery may cause the following issues: • The instrument cluster cannot be displayed while the ignition switch is turned ON. (The hybridsystem cannot start.)
• Headlamps, horn, etc. are weak.
•To avoid electrical shock, the high voltage Li-ion battery CANNOT be jump started.
• Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in the vicinity of the 12V battery. Keep all sparks and flames away from the 12V battery. Make sure the vent tube is mounted.
• Do not allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing or painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns. If
the fluid comes into contact with anything, immediately flush the contacted area withwater.
• The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts. Use of an improperly rated battery can damage the vehicle.
• Whenever working on or near a 12V battery, always wear suitable eye protectors (for example, goggles or industrial safety spectacles) and remove rings, metal bands, or
any other jewelry. Do not lean over the 12V battery when jump starting.
• Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery. It could explode and cause serious injury.
• Pathfinder HYBRID is equipped with an automatic cooling fan. It could come on at any time. Keep hands and other objects away from it.
• Always follow the jump starting instructions below. Failure to do so could result in damage to the charging system and cause personal injury.
