in on the hose fitting to separate the datum from the cover.
Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- Torx T20 socket
-
Remove the bolts (x2) that attach the power conversion system outlet hose to the HV
battery front access cover, and then push in on the hose fitting to separate the datum
from the cover.
Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- Torx T20 socket
-
Remove and discard the bolts (x17)
that attach the HV battery front access cover to HV battery.
Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- 7 mm socket
-
Use non-conductive plastic chisels to
break the seal and separate the HV battery front access cover from the HV battery.
NoteBe careful not to severely bend or deform the access cover, nor damage the internal components therein.NoteIf there is no sealant present, the gasket can be reused and no sealant needs to be applied.
- 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.
- Rotate the power conversion system outlet hose aside to gain access to the A/C compressor fuse.
- Remove the nuts (x2) that attach the A/C compressor fuse to the mounting studs.
- Use the fuse puller to remove the electrical harness terminal from the mounting stud and move aside.
- 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
- Perform a zero adjust of the Hioki resistance meter in preparation to measure resistances later in this procedure. See Resistance Meter (Zero Adjust).
- Use the fuse puller to carefully install the A/C compressor fuse onto the mounting studs.
- Use the fuse puller to install the electrical harness terminal onto the mounting stud.
-
Install the nuts (x2) that attach the A/C compressor fuse to the mounting
studs.
-
Use the Hioki resistance meter to measure the resistance at the HV joint of the A/C
compressor fuse and the positive DC busbar.
CAUTIONDo not short the side of the probe tip to the edge of the fuse lug.NoteThe 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.
-
Use the Hioki resistance meter to measure the resistance at the HV joint of the A/C
compressor fuse and the electrical harness terminal.
CAUTIONDo not short the side of the probe tip to the edge of the nut's captive washer.NoteThe 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.
-
Return the power conversion system
outlet hose to its original position against the power conversion system.
-
Use non-conductive plastic chisels or
other non-marring tools to remove the sealant from the HV battery and HV battery front
access cover.
NoteIf there is no sealant present, the gasket can be reused and no sealant needs to be applied. Skip to step 6 to proceed with installation.
- Use an ESD-safe vacuum to remove debris, wipe the sealing surfaces with an alcohol wipe, and then allow to dry.
- Load a cartridge of sealant into the caulking gun and cut the tip of the sealant to make a triangle of X mm by Y mm.
- Apply the sealant onto the sealing surface of the HV battery in a continuous smooth bead.
- Lower the HV battery front access cover to the HV battery and move it rearward, so that the power conversion system inlet and outlet hose fittings move through their respective openings, and then set the cover onto the HV battery.
-

HV battery front access cover to the HV battery.Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
- 7 mm socket
NoteTighten the bolts in a criss-cross pattern. -
