Procedure

  1. Perform the vehicle electrical isolation procedure. See Vehicle HV Disablement Procedure.
  2. Make sure that the logic connector cap is snug on the high voltage controller connector to prevent leaks.
  3. Remove the rear HV battery skid plate. See Skid Plate - HV Battery - Rear (Remove and Replace).
  4. Make sure that the high voltage connectors along the rear of the HV battery are fully seated and securely latched.
  5. Install the rear HV battery skid plate. See Skid Plate - HV Battery - Rear (Remove and Replace).
  6. Remove the ancillary bay HV cap. See Cap - HV - Ancillary Bay (Remove and Replace).
  7. Remove the LH rear sill panel trim. See Trim - Sill Panel - Rear - LH (Remove and Replace).
  8. Release the clips that attach the low voltage electrical harness to the charge port to HV battery harness bracket at the ancillary bay.
  9. Remove the bolts that attach the charge port to HV battery harness bracket at the ancillary bay, and then remove the bracket from the vehicle.
  10. Slide the release to unlock the DC input connector handle of the charge port to HV battery harness from the secured position.
  11. Fully raise the handle on the DC input connector.
  12. Remove the DC input connector from the ancillary bay DC input header.
  13. If the charge port to HV battery harness has a 3-phase connector, continue to the next step, otherwise skip to step 17.
  14. Slide the release to unlock the 3-phase connector handle of the charge port to HV battery harness from the secured position.
  15. Fully raise the handle on the 3-phase connector.
  16. Remove the 3-phase connector from the ancillary bay 3-phase header.
  17. Release the clip that attaches the charge port to HV battery wiring harness to the LH lower C-pillar.
  18. Install the charge port dummy plug onto the DC input assembly.
  19. If the charge port to HV battery harness has a 3-phase connector, install a dummy plug to the 3-phase header.
  20. Remove and discard the breather plug from the ancillary bay probe lid cover.
  21. Install the leak test adapter into the ancillary bay probe lid cover.
  22. Connect the pack enclosure leak tester to the leak test adapter.
  23. Close both valves on the pack enclosure leak tester by turning valve knobs to a vertical position.
  24. Connect the pack enclosure leak tester to air supply.

    Note
    Make sure the pack enclosure leak tester valves are both in the closed position.
  25. Turn the inlet valve to the open position by turning the valve knob to a horizonal position.
  26. Set the pack enclosure leak tester to 0.15 psi.
  27. Open the outlet valve to inject air into the ancillary bay, and allow 60 seconds for the pressure to stabilize to 0.15 psi.
  28. Close the inlet valve and wait 45 seconds for pressure to settle.
  29. Record value of starting pressure.
  30. Wait 60 seconds to test pressure and record value of ending pressure.
  31. Subtract the ending pressure from the starting pressure, and if:
    • The difference is greater than 0.0231 psi, check the hose, adapter, and plug fittings, close the outlet valve and open the inlet valve, check the pack enclosure leak tester pressure, and then retest from step 27. If the difference is still greater than 0.0231 psi, further investigate possible causes for the pressure leak, starting with Toolbox article 41588. If the cause for the pressure leak can still not be found and resolved, escalate a Toolbox session.
    • The difference is 0.0231 psi or less, continue the procedure.
  32. Disconnect the air supply from the pack enclosure leak tester.
  33. Disconnect the pack enclosure leak tester from the leak test adapter.
  34. Remove the leak test adapter from the ancillary bay probe lid cover.
  35. Install a new breather plug onto the ancillary bay probe lid cover.
  36. If installed, remove the dummy plug from the 3-phase header.
  37. Remove the charge port dummy plug from the DC input assembly.
  38. Fully raise the handle on the DC input connector of the charge port to HV battery harness.
  39. Use both hands to firmly connect the DC input connector of the charge port to HV battery harness to the ancillary bay DC input header.

    CAUTION
    Make sure that the connector fits the header squarely and tightly.
  40. While pressing the DC input connector onto the DC input header, fully lower the handle.

    CAUTION
    Make sure that the handle does not bind as it is lowered.
  41. Slide the release to lock the DC input connector handle in the secured position.
  42. Verfiy that the connector is fully seated, and compare both sides of the connector, that it is properly latched in place.

  43. If the charge port to HV battery harness has a 3-phase connector, continue to the next step, otherwise skip to step 49.
  44. Fully raise the handle on the 3-phase connector of the charge port to HV battery harness.
  45. Use both hands to firmly connect the 3-phase connector of the charge port to HV battery harness to the ancillary bay 3-phase header.
