    Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
  5. Perform Hioki impedance test at the HV joint of the negative pack contactor to the negative DC link busbar.
    • If the resistance is greater than 0.060 mΩ (60 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.
    • If the resistance is less than 0.020 mΩ (20 μΩ), reposition the probes and measure again.
  6. Perform Hioki impedance test at the negative pack contactor to module 1 rear terminal
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    The acceptable impedance is 110 μΩ or less.
  7. Install the HV joint insulators (x2) to the negative pack contactor.
  8. Connect the ancillary bay harness connectors (x2) to the negative pack contactor.
  9. Install the pyrotechnic battery disconnect. See Pyro Disconnect - HV Battery (Remove and Replace).
  10. Raise all windows and close all doors.
