High Voltage Disconnection Procedure

High Voltage Disconnection Procedure

Be sure to read and observe the "General Safety Information and Caution" before performing any work on the high voltage system. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious electrical injury.

1. 1
   Turn the ignition OFF and disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery.
2. 2
   Remove the cover (A) from the rear seat floor mat.

   

3. 3
   Loosen the nut and remove the service cover of the safety plug (A). Service cover mounting nut: 7.8 ~ 11.8 N·m

   

4. 4
   Remove the safety plug (A).

   

5. 5
   Wait at least 5 minutes or until the capacitor in the high-voltage system is fully discharged.
6. 6
   Measure the voltage between the inverter terminals to confirm that the capacitor in the inverter is fully discharged.

   1. Raise the vehicle.
   2. Remove the high-voltage battery lower cover (A) by loosening the bolt.

      

   3. Disconnect the high-voltage cable (A).

      

   4. Measure the voltage between the inverter terminals. Less than 30 V: High-voltage circuit is properly closed. More than 30 V: Malfunction in the high-voltage circuit.

      

      

      If the measured voltage exceeds 30 V even though the service plug has been removed properly, there may be a serious problem in the high voltage circuit. In this case, check the DTCs and never touch the high voltage system.
