Warning
This procedure disables 12V power, but does not verify that high voltage power is no longer available to high voltage components (PTC heater, A/C compressor, inverters, etc). Perform Vehicle HV Disablement Procedure after this procedure, and before servicing high voltage components.

    Warning

    Prepare for these conditions before disconnecting 12V power:

    • Closed windows might shatter if the door is opened.

    • Closed doors might cause a lockout condition.

    • Airbags do not deploy.

    • Systems, displays, and other controls are off.

  2. Disconnect any charging cable.
  3. On the touchscreen, power off the climate control system, and wait at least 30 seconds for the climate control system to completely shut down.
  4. Make sure the vehicle is in Park.
  5. Åpne alle dørene, og senk vinduene.
  6. Åpne venstre og høyre bakdør, og før deretter et håndkle halvveis gjennom låseblikkene i hver dør for å forhindre at låsen går i inngrep.
  7. Remove the 2nd row lower seat cushion. See Seat Cushion - Lower - 2nd Row (Remove and Replace).
  8. Remove the rear underhood apron. See Underhood Apron - Rear (Remove and Replace).
  9. On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Safety > Power Off.
    Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
    CAUTION
    Do not proceed until the climate control system has been powered off for at least 30 seconds. Do not disconnect 12V power while the climate control system is operational.
  10. Loosen the nut that attaches the 12V battery negative cable to the battery, and then disconnect the cable from the battery.
  11. Set the multimeter to measure DC voltage, and then measure the voltage across the 12V auxiliary battery terminals.
    Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
    CAUTION
    If the voltage measured is less than 10 volts or greater than 14 Volts, the multimeter is not measuring reliably and must not be used.
  12. If installed, remove the foam cover from the RH side of the ancillary bay.
  13. Disconnect the electrical harness from the high voltage controller connector.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    The HV battery positive contactor and negative contactor open with a clunk sound.
  14. Install the logic connector cap onto the high voltage controller connector to prevent mistaken reconnection and protect the connector.
  15. Measure the voltage at the LV busbar at the ancillary bay.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    Measure voltage at the DC passthrough. If the measured voltage is <1V, continue. If the measured voltage is >10V, wait 2 minutes for the 12V/LV system to drain, and then remeasure. If the voltage is still >10V, the LV system is still up;. Escalate for assistance as the PCS is still supporting the Low Voltage system.
  16. If 12V power was disconnected to service a high voltage component, verify that high voltage power is no longer available to that component. See Vehicle HV Disablement Procedure.
