Remove

Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
Warning
When servicing the ancillary bay cover and components in or around the ancillary bay, there is a possibilty of encountering metal flashing on the inner edge of the vehicle single-piece rear casting. These sharp protrusions are a cut hazard, and proper PPE should be worn if there is a chance of contacting the flashing unprotected. If not already wearing leather over gloves, then at least wear cut-resistant gloves when the flashing is present.
  1. Remove the RH 2nd row seat back. See Seat Back - 2nd Row - RH (Remove and Replace).
  2. Remove the LH 2nd row seat back. See Seat Back - 2nd Row - LH (Remove and Replace).
  3. Disconnect 12V power. See 12V/LV Power (Disconnect and Connect).
  4. Disconnect the electrical harness from the high voltage controller connector.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    The HV battery positive contactor and negative contactor open with a clunk sound.
  5. Install the logic connector cap onto the high voltage controller connector to prevent mistaken reconnection and protect the connector.
  6. Perform Vehicle HV Disablement Procedure. See Vehicle HV Disablement Procedure.
  7. If the leather over gloves have been removed, inspect the inner edge of the vehicle single-piece rear casting for flashing. If flashing is present, put on cut-resistant gloves.
  8. Release the cover on the positive 12V output cable, at the DCDC passthrough.
  9. Remove and discard the nut that attaches the positive 12V output cable to the DCDC passthrough, and then remove the cable from the passthrough.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    Inspect the condition of the rubber boot at the end of the output cable, and replace the boot if it is melted or damaged.
  10. Remove and discard the bolts that attach the high voltage controller internally to the ancillary bay cover.
    Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
    • External Torx E10
    • 4 in extension
    • Ratchet/torque wrench
    • Torque wrench with angle measurement

  14. Remove the ancillary bay cover from the vehicle.
  15. Reinstall the logic connector cap onto the high voltage controller connector.
  16. Inspect whether HV insulators are present. If not present or partly present, use the Ancillary Bay Insulator kit and install the insulator caps onto the HV battery to cover live HV points. See Insulators - HV Battery (Install and Remove).
  17. Visually inspect the interior of the ancillary bay for any presence of leaked coolant.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    Areas of interest are the coolant input and output tubes and fittings, and around the perimeter of the ancillary bay.
    Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
    CAUTION
    If any leaked coolant is found, escalate a Toolbox session.
  18. Visually inspect the condition of the ancillary bay cover gasket and the HV battery mating surface for cracks, cuts, gouges, abrasions, or any damage that could affect the seal.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note

  1. For Europe only: Check the ancillary bay cover that is being replaced for the presence of a recycling warning label that includes a CE marking and manufacturer information.
    • If the recycling warning label with CE marking and manufacturer information is not present on the ancillary bay cover being replaced, continue to the next step.
    • If the recycling warning label with CE marking and manufacturer information is present on the ancillary bay cover being replaced:
      1. Note the area where the recycling warning label is affixed on the ancillary bay cover being replaced.
      2. Clean the corresponding area on the new ancillary bay cover with an IPA wipe and allow 1 minute dry time.
      3. Install a new recycling label with CE marking and Manufacturing Information (part number 1108781-BB-F) on the new ancillary bay cover.
  2. Use IPA wipes to clean the ancillary bay cover gasket surface, and the mating surface of the HV battery.
  3. Use an IPA wipe to clean any residue from the high voltage controller mounting bolt holes and both the inside and outside of the ancillary bay cover at the bolt holes.
  4. If the aluminum tape retrofit patch is damaged, remove it, clean the area with an IPA wipe, apply another patch of aluminum tape, and wet out the patch with a silicone roller to set the adhesive.
    Figure 3. 4-Bolt to 3-Bolt Patch 30mm x 30mm
  5. Inspect the inner edge of the vehicle single-piece rear casting for metal flashing. If flashing is present and the leather over gloves have been removed, put on cut-resistant gloves.
  6. Remove the logic connector cap from the high voltage controller connector.
  7. Remove all insulator kit covers from the HV battery. See Insulators - HV Battery (Install and Remove).
  8. Install the ancillary bay cover on the HV battery, and then hand-tighten the bolts.
