Correction code 44500300600 0.90 NOTE: Unless otherwise explicitly stated in the procedure, the correction code and FRT listed above reflect all of the work required to perform this procedure, including the linked procedures. Do not stack correction codes unless explicitly told to do so. NOTE: See Flat Rate Times to learn more about FRTs and how they are created. NOTE: See Personal Protection to make sure you are wearing proper PPE when performing the procedure below. NOTE: See Ergonomic Precautions for safe and healthy working practices.

1. Prepare for HV battery removal
   Note

   Due to the potential issues associated with an isolation fault, customer and/or insurance approval is not needed to remove the HV battery while investigating the fault, For high voltage battery packs that have a low internal isolation condition and/or liquid ingress, It is crucial to remove the fluid promptly, HV gloves, Leather over-gloves, Safety glasses, And safety shoes must be worn at all times while handling a vehicle and/or HV battery pack with an internal isolation condition, Refer to Toolbox article 7410000
2. Remove all items from pockets and ensure not wearing metal items

   

3. Inspect HV insulating gloves
   Note

   Check gloves for damage prior to use, Refer to service document TN-15-92-003, for information on inspecting HV gloves.

   

4. Put on HV insulating gloves and leather over gloves
   Note

   Use HV cut resistant insulated gloves or HV insulating gloves and leather over gloves, HV Insulating gloves must be worn any time a Hioki Tester or Hi-Pot Tester is used, Refer to service document TN-15-92-003 R5 for PPE requirements depending on vehicle configuration.

   

5. Secure vehicle outside of workshop
   Note

   Secure vehicle in an outdoor area with 15M of space around it in every direction

15. Select ECU
    Note

    Select HVBMS ECU in drop down menu

    

16. Check HV Battery vitals
    Note

    Refer to Toolbox article 41977, The HV vitals are not stable if any of the following is true:Module temperatures are significantly higher than ambient temperature.Module temperatures min and max deviate from each other more than 5 degrees C.Brick voltages min and max deviate more than 20 mV.If vitals are not stable, isolate the pack or vehicle in 30 meter bubble.

    

    

    

17. Disconnect CAN dongle from laptop
    Note

    1x connector, WARNING: Do not place anything on top of the HV battery other than the high voltage “Danger” placard

19. Power down vehicle
    Note

    Refer to HV battery RR procedure for steps
20. Prepare work area
    Note

    Prepare a workspace around a two post lift with nearby access to HV PPE, Battery table, and necessary tooling

    

    

21. Raise vehicle fully and lower lift onto locks
    Note

    Set vehicle to comfortable working height, Ensure an audible click of locks on both sides is heard before lowering, Vehicle may tilt to the side if both locks are not engaged

    

    

22. Inspect HV battery for dents, fluid leaks, or other signs of instability
    Note

    If found, refer to Toolbox article 5402800

    

23. Inspect HV battery for coolant leaks or fluid ingress
    Note

    Refer to Toolbox article 40073, If liquid ingress is found then proceed to HV battery removal, If HV battery removal is not possible continue procedure with pack in vehicle, Continue to relevant procedure for fluid ingress removal as needed

    

24. Remove HV battery from vehicle
    Note

    Refer to HV battery removal procedure for applicable vehicle model

    

25. Move HV battery to a suitable work area
    Note

    Hv battery must have 15M of space around it in every direction

    

26. Remove high voltage battery pyro disconnect
    Note

    See HV battery RR procedure for steps
