Warning
Only technicians
who have been certified to remove HV battery switches and fuses and have
completed all required certification courses (if applicable) or, in EMEA,
technicians who have successfully completed the training course HV Battery
Fuse Remove and Replace ILT - EMEA 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 any time a high voltage
cable is handled. Refer to TN-15-92-003, “High Voltage Awareness Care Points”
for additional safety information.
Warning
Proper personal
protective equipment (PPE) is required to perform this procedure:
- High voltage insulating gloves
- Leather glove protectors
- High voltage glove tester
- Safety glasses
- Electrical hazard rated safety shoes
Warning
Make sure that the HV insulating gloves are not expired. Refer to TN-15-92-003 for glove regional
expiration information.
Warning
Use a glove
inflator to test the HV insulating gloves before beginning this procedure.
Gloves that fail the test must be discarded. If one glove fails, discard both
gloves of the pair.
Warning
While performing
this procedure, always wear both rubber HV insulating gloves and leather glove
protectors. Do not remove the gloves until the fuse cover has been
reinstalled.
Warning
When performing this
procedure, use only one hand whenever possible. Keep your other hand behind your back to
prevent the circuit from closing if you touch a component with high voltage.
Warning
When using a
multimeter, never use an e-coated surface as a path to ground.
Warning
Only use tools
that have been specifically designated for use with this procedure.
Warning
Obey these safe
work practices while performing this procedure:
- Do not wear headphones.
- No loud music in HV battery repair areas.
- Do not perform this procedure alone. Always have a certified assistant on hand, and alert the on-site manager that you will be performing this procedure.
- Always use 2 people to lift heavy equipment.
- Absolutely no horseplay.
- Avoid cluttering the battery rework area. Only tool carts that have tools that are needed for this procedure should be allowed in the battery rework area. Maintain tools and consumables in appropriate cabinets.
- Label all secondary chemical containers.
- Dispose of hazardous waste (such as adhesive, coolant, and other chemicals) in appropriate bins or containers.
Remove
- Remove the HV battery assembly. See HV Battery (RWD/AWD) (Remove and Install).
- Inspect the fuse cover area for rust or corrosion, and if any is found, refer to Toolbox article #32901 for further guidance.
- Remove all items from pockets and make sure not to wear any metal items.
-
Inspect the HV insulating
gloves.
NoteRefer to service document TN-15-92-003 for information on inspecting HV gloves.
- Put on the HV insulating gloves and the leather over gloves.
- Put on the HV-safe static control wrist strap. Clip the strap's ground connection to a threaded hole on the edge of the HV battery enclosure.
- Vacuum the area around the fuse cover to remove all dust and debris.
-
Clean the area around the
fuse cover with alcohol wipes.
CAUTIONDo not set the fasteners on top of the HV battery. Place each fastener in an appropriate receptacle to reduce the chances of omitting fasteners during reinstallation or leaving fasteners inside the HV battery.
-
Remove the bolts (x9) that attach the
fuse cover to the HV battery.
NoteOne or more of the bolts might be covered or partially covered by sealant. If necessary, scrape off the sealant to expose the bolt head.
-
Use an insulated blade to score the sealant around the edge of the fuse cover.
CAUTIONTake care not to damage the red gasket or metal carrier.
-
Use a non-conductive tool to lift the fuse cover.
NoteIf necessary, use a hammer or mallet to tap the tool so that it penetrates the sealant.
- Once partially separated, remove and discard the fuse cover.
- Visually inspect the fuse cavity for water, dirt, evidence of arcing, or any other kind of damage. If any damage is found, escalate a Toolbox session, as appropriate.
- Remove the bolts (x2) that attach the hybrid pyro fuse to the busbars.
-
Carefully remove the hybrid pyro fuse
from the cavity.
NoteMinor arcing is possible. Be sure to have proper PPE, including goggles, worn for this step.
- Visually inspect the hybrid pyro fuse and the busbars within the fuse cavity for evidence of arcing. If there is any evidence of arcing, escalate the Toolbox session, as appropriate.
-
Place the green fuse service flag in
the fuse cavity to prevent the fuse from being re-inserted, and to indicate that the
fuse has been removed.
WarningAlways make sure that the green fuse service flag has been installed.
- Record the part number and serial number on the fuse.
-
Use this table to determine the type
of fuse and action to take.
- Use a non-conducting tool to remove excess sealant from around the fuse cavity.
-
Use an ESD safe vacuum to remove debris from around and in the fuse cavity.
CAUTIONDo not remove the green fuse service flag, work around it.
- Use an IPA wipe to clean the battery surface where sealant was removed around the fuse cavity.
Install
-
Consider the action to take for the type of fuse removed.
- Battery Powered Hybrid Pyro Fuse - Install a Self-Powered Hybrid Pyro Fuse. See Fuse - Pyrotechnic - HV Battery 1.0/1.5 (Remove and Replace)
- Self-Powered Hybrid Pyro Fuse - Reinstall the fuse removed, go to step 2.
- Sand Fuse - Reinstall the fuse removed, go to step 2.
- Perform a zero adjust of the Hioki resistance meter in prepartion to measure resistances later in this procedure. See Resistance Meter (Zero Adjust).
- Remove the green fuse service flag.
-
Use an IPA wipe to thoroughly clean
the busbars within the fuse cavity and the terminals of the hybrid pyro fuse and allow
at least 1 minute to dry.
NoteThere is a dull busbar, and a shiny busbar.
-
Position the hybrid pyro
fuse with the embossed arrow pointing rearward, and then install the fuse
into the fuse cavity.
CAUTIONMinor arcing is possible. Be sure to have proper PPE, including goggles, worn for this step.NoteThe dull terminal of the hybrid pyro fuse mates with the dull busbar, the copper terminal of the fuse mates with the shiny busbar.
-
Install the bolts (x2) that attach the
hybrid pyro fuse to the busbars, and then mark the bolts with a paint pen after
tightening.
-
Use the Hioki resistance
meter to meassure the resistance at the HV joint of the hybrid pyro fuse
copper terminal and the shiny busbar.
NoteDo not short the side of the probe tip to the edge of the fuse terminal.NoteThe acceptable resistance is between 0.050 mΩ (50 μΩ) and 0.150 mΩ (150 μΩ). If the resistance is not within this range, reposition the probes and measure again. If the resistance is repeatedly between 0.00 mΩ and 0.050 mΩ (50 μΩ), the Hioki test passed, proceed with the installation procedure. For more information on Hioki resistance testing, refer to article https://toolbox.teslamotors.com/articles/218200.

- Use an IPA wipe to clean the sealing surface and gasket of the fuse cavity, the sealing surface of the new fuse cover, the top surface of the new fuse cover, and allow at least 1 minute to dry.
- Install a new warning label onto the top of the fuse cover.
- Apply sealant to the gasket around the fuse cavity.
-
Install the fuse cover to the HV
battery, install the bolts (x9) that attach the fuse cover to the HV battery, and then
mark the bolts with a paint pen after tightening.
- Remove the leather glove protectors and the HV insulating gloves.
- Put on disposable nitrile gloves.
-
Apply sealant around the perimeter of
the fuse cover.
NoteApply additional sealant to where the spacer interferes with the cover.
-
Wet a nitrile gloved finger with
isopropyl alcohol and then spread out the sealant, creating a fillet.
CAUTIONDo not use the HV insulating gloves or leather glove protectors for this step.
- Remove the nitrile gloves, and put on the HV insulating gloves and leather glove protectors.
- Install the HV battery assembly. See HV Battery (RWD/AWD) (Remove and Install).
