-
Prepare for HV battery removal
NoteDue to the potential issues associated with an isolation fault, customer and/or insurance approval is not needed to remove the HV battery while investigating the fault, For high voltage battery packs that have a low internal isolation condition and/or liquid ingress, It is crucial to remove the fluid promptly, HV gloves, Leather over-gloves, Safety glasses, And safety shoes must be worn at all times while handling a vehicle and/or HV battery pack with an internal isolation condition, Refer to Toolbox article 7410000
-
Inspect HV insulating gloves
NoteCheck gloves for damage prior to use, Refer to service document TN-15-92-003, for information on inspecting HV gloves.
-
Put on HV insulating gloves and leather over gloves
NoteUse HV cut resistant insulated gloves or HV insulating gloves and leather over gloves, HV Insulating gloves must be worn any time a Hioki Tester or Hi-Pot Tester is used, Refer to service document TN-15-92-003 R5 for PPE requirements depending on vehicle configuration.
