- 1457268-00-A Extractor, PTC Heater HV Header, Model 3
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.
Remove
- Disconnect 12V power. See 12V/LV Power (Disconnect and Connect).
- Perform the vehicle electrical isolation procedure. See Vehicle HV Disablement Procedure.
- Remove the rear HV battery skid plate. See Skid Plate - HV Battery - Rear (Remove and Replace).
- Release the clips that attach the RH inner HV battery return hose to the HV battery.
- Position a coolant drain under the RH rear of the HV battery.
- Release the clip, disconnect the RH inner HV battery return hose fitting from the RH end of the HV battery platter enclosure, and quickly plug both the male and female fittings..
- Slide the release to unlock the HV battery PTC heater and A/C compressor connector handle of the PTC heater and A/C compressor to HV battery harness from the secured position.
- Fully raise the handle on the HV battery PTC heater and A/C compressor connector.
- Remove the HV battery PTC heater and A/C compressor connector from the HV battery header.
- Remove the bolts (x2) that attach the PTC heater and A/C compressor HV header to the HV battery.
- Insert the extractor tool into the PTC heater and A/C compressor HV header, push the tool levers in to release the clips (x2) that attach the header to the PTC heater and A/C compressor pin carrier, and then pull on the header to remove it from the HV battery.
Install
-
Release the clips (x2) that attach the PTC heater and A/C compressor pin carrier to the bracket inside of the HV battery, and then separate the pin carrier from the bracket.
NotePull down as one clip is released, then release the second clip.
-
Install the PTC heater and A/C compressor pin carrier into the PTC heater and A/C compressor HV header, and fasten the clips (x2) that attach the pin carrier to the header.
NoteUse a plastic pry tool to make sure that the pin carrier fully inserts into the header, and does not move into the HV battery
- Perform a push-pull-push test to make sure the PTC heater and A/C compressor pin carrier is secured in the PTC heater and A/C compressor HV header.
-
Install the PTC heater and A/C compressor HV header onto the HV battery.
NoteMake sure that the PTC heater and A/C compressor pin carrier is secure in the bracket.
-
Install the bolts (x2) that attach the PTC heater and A/C compressor HV header to the HV battery.
- Fully raise the handle on the HV battery PTC heater and A/C compressor connector of the PTC heater and A/C compressor to HV battery harness.
-
Use both hands to firmly connect the HV battery PTC heater and A/C compressor connector of the PTC heater and A/C compressor to HV battery harness to the HV battery header.
CAUTIONMake sure that the connector fits the header squarely and tightly, and that both retention pins enter the handle.
-
While pressing the HV battery PTC heater and A/C compressor connector onto the HV battery header, fully lower the handle.
CAUTIONMake sure that the handle does not bind as it is lowered.
- Slide the release to lock the HV battery PTC heater and A/C compressor connector handle in the secured position.
-
Verfiy that the HV battery PTC heater and A/C compressor connector is fully seated, and compare both sides of the connector that it is properly secured in place.
NoteAn improperly seated connector might lead to connector damage and PTC heater or A/C compressor problems later on.
- Remove the plugs from the male and female fittings, quickly connect the RH inner HV battery return hose to the HV battery platter enclosure, and then fasten the clip.
- Remove the coolant drain from under the RH rear of the HV battery.
- Fasten the clips that attach the RH inner HV battery return hose to the HV battery.
- Install the rear HV battery skid plate. See Skid Plate - HV Battery - Rear (Remove and Replace).
- Perform an ancillary bay air leak test. See Ancillary Bay Air Leak Test.
- Connect 12V power. See 12V/LV Power (Disconnect and Connect).
- Perform a vacuum refill of the cooling system. See Cooling System (Vacuum Refill).
