battery.Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- 10 mm socket
- Cordless hex driver
- Ratchet/torque wrench
-
Install the bolt that
attaches the HV battery to rear drive unit harness bracket to the rear drive
unit inverter.Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- 10 mm socket
- Cordless hex driver
- Ratchet/torque wrench
- Move the end of the rear drive unit inlet hose up and in between the HV battery and rear subframe, and then up and in between the rear drive unit and rear subframe.
- Install the rear drive unit inlet hose. See Hose - Inlet - Rear Drive Unit Inverter (Remove and Replace).
- Install the rear HV battery skid plate. See Skid Plate - HV Battery - Rear (Remove and Replace).
- Install the rear aero shield panel. See Panel - Aero Shield - Rear (Remove and Replace).

-
Remove the coolant bottle
cap, and then fill the coolant to the proper level.
NoteEnsure that the coolant level is at the "Max" line.
- Connect the vehicle to a laptop with Toolbox 3.0. See Toolbox 3 (Connect and Disconnect).
-
In Toolbox 3.0, click
Actions/Autodiag, type "Purge" into the search field, click
TEST_VCFRONT_X_THERMAL-COOLANT-AIR-PURGE, click Run, and
allow the routine to complete.
NoteMake sure vehicle is not in Drive, shifting the vehicle into Drive will stop this routine. The test will last approximately 10 mins. The test will vary speeds from 3500-6500 RPM (idle speed = ~1500 RPM) and actuate the valve between series and parallel. If speed hovers at 7000 RPM, it indicates the pump is air locked, perform the vacuum fill again. Continue to add coolant and purge until the coolant level reaches between the NOM and MAX Lines on the bottle.
-
Inspect the coolant level
and top off as necessary, and then install the coolant bottle cap.
NoteEnsure that the coolant level is at the "Max" line.
