    Note
    Be careful not to severely bend or deform the access cover, nor damage the internal components therein.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    If there is no sealant present, the gasket can be reused and no sealant needs to be applied.
  19. Lift the HV battery front access cover from the HV battery and move it forward, so that the power conversion system inlet and outlet hose fittings move through their respective openings, and then lift the cover away from the HV battery.
  20. Rotate the power conversion system outlet hose aside to gain access to the A/C compressor fuse.
  21. Remove the nuts (x2) that attach the A/C compressor fuse to the mounting studs.
  22. Use the fuse puller to remove the electrical harness terminal from the mounting stud and move aside.
  23. Use the HV insulated pick together with the fuse puller to carefully move the A/C compressor fuse out from under the electrical harness wires, and out of the front bay of the HV battery.

Install

  1. Perform a zero adjust of the Hioki resistance meter in preparation to measure resistances later in this procedure. See Resistance Meter (Zero Adjust).
  2. Use the fuse puller to carefully install the A/C compressor fuse onto the mounting studs.
  3. Use the fuse puller to install the electrical harness terminal onto the mounting stud.
  4. Install the nuts (x2) that attach the A/C compressor fuse to the mounting studs.
    2.5 Nm (1.8 lbs-ft)
  5. Use the Hioki resistance meter to measure the resistance at the HV joint of the A/C compressor fuse and the positive DC busbar.

    CAUTION
    Do not short the side of the probe tip to the edge of the fuse lug.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    The resistance must be less than 0.145 mΩ (145 μΩ). There is too much resistance in the High Voltage joint. Remove the fastener, clean areas with isopropyl alcohol, install fastener back and test again.
  6. Use the Hioki resistance meter to measure the resistance at the HV joint of the A/C compressor fuse and the electrical harness terminal.
