Warning

Only technicians who have been trained in High Voltage Awareness and have completed all required certification courses (if applicable) are permitted to perform this procedure. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and insulating HV gloves with a minimum rating of class 0 (1000V) must be worn at all times a high voltage cable, busbar, or fitting is handled. Refer to Tech Note TN-15-92-003, High Voltage Awareness Care Points for additional safety information.

    CAUTION
    If any leaked coolant is found, escalate a Toolbox session.

Install

  1. Use IPA wipes to clean the ancillary bay cover gasket surface, and the mating surface of the HV battery.
  2. Visually inspect the condition of the ancillary bay cover gasket and the HV battery mating surface for cracks, cuts, gouges, abrasions, or any damage that could affect the seal.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    If the damage to the gasket is severe, replace the ancillary bay cover. If there is minor damage (including paint) that might affect the seal, perform an ancillary bay air leak test when instructed to do so.
  3. Use an IPA wipe to clean any residue from the high voltage controller mounting bolt holes and both the inside and outside of the ancillary bay cover at the bolt holes.
  4. If the aluminum tape retrofit patch is damaged, remove it, clean the area with an IPA wipe, apply another patch of aluminum tape, and wet out the patch with a silicone roller to set the adhesive.

    Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
    CAUTION
    Use an External Torx E10 5-Lobe socket that is not magnetized. Sockets with magnets will not fully grip and can possibly strip the bolt head.
    Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
    • External Torx E10 5-Lobe
    • 4 in extension
    • Ratchet/torque wrench
