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.

    Note
    Check for dents, cracks, holes, fluid leaks, etc. If damage is found, stop work and contact Service Engineering.
  6. Remove the HV battery from the vehicle, and move it away from the vehicle. See HV Battery (AWD) (Remove and Install).
  7. Put on proper PPE, including high voltage gloves and leather outer gloves.
  8. Use the multimeter to measure the voltages at the high voltage Rapid Mate.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    Measure B+ to B-, B+ to ground, and B- to ground. If any measurement is greater than 10V, contact Service Engineering.
  9. Install the Rapid Mate covers to the high voltage and low voltage Rapid Mates.
  10. Inspect the pyrotechnic fuse cover for damage, corrosion, or water intrusion.
  11. Cordon off the HV battery work area with stanchions and High Voltage Warning signs.
  12. Use a pick to remove the cap from the vent cover.
  13. Use the pick to remove the breather from the vent cover.
  14. Insert a rubber plug into the hole in the vent cover.
  15. Use a flashlight to shine the light into the slots of the side skis, and look for breathers between the umbrella valves.
    • No breathers are seen - Go to step 24.
    • Breathers are seen - Continue to the next step.
    Figure 1. Breather between umbrella valves, as seen through the slots of the side skis
  16. Use clamps to secure the LH side rail ski at the front and rear of the HV battery.
  17. Remove and discard the horizontal screws (x10) that attach the LH side rail ski to the HV battery.
  18. With the help of an assistant, remove the clamps from the HV battery, pull the LH side rail ski out from the battery, pivot the rail ski down, and away from the battery.
  19. Use a nylon brush and ESD safe vacuum to clean dirt and debris from where the LH side rail ski was removed.
  20. Inspect the condition of the LH side rail umbrella valves, and replace any that appear to be damaged.

    Note
    If the damage affects the sealing of a new umbrella valve, contact Service Engineering.
  21. Remove the breathers (x7) from among the LH side rail umbrella valves, and install rubber plugs (x7).
  22. Clean the LH side rail area of the HV battery with IPA wipes, and allow at least one minute to dry.
  23. Repeat step 16 through 22 on the RH side of the HV battery.
  24. Remove and discard the leak test plug from the LH rear corner of the HV battery.
