Overhaul

Overhaul
During overhaul, immobilize and disable the vehicle if not already done. The HV battery cover should never be breached or removed under any circumstances including fire. Doing so may result in severe electrical burns, shock, or electrocution.

Immobilize Vehicle





Chock wheels and set the parking brake.
Push the P switch to engage park (P).

Disable Vehicle
Performing either of the following procedures will shut the vehicle off and disable the HV battery pack, SRS, and gasoline fuel pump.




Procedure #1
1. Confirm the status of READY indicator in the instrument cluster.
2. If the READY indicator is illuminated, the vehicle is on and operational. Shut off the vehicle by pushing the power button once.
3. The vehicle is already shut off if the instrument cluster lights and the READY indicator are not illuminated. Do not push the power button because the vehicle may start.
4. If the smart key is easily accessible, keep it at least 16 feet (5 meters) away from the vehicle.
5. If the smart key cannot be found, disconnect the 12-Volt auxiliary battery behind the cover in the cargo area to prevent accidental restarting of the vehicle.





Procedure #2 (Alternate if power button or ignition key is inaccessible)

1. Open the hood and remove the fuse box cover.

2. Remove the IG2 fuse (20A yellow colored) in the engine compartment fuse box (refer to illustration). If the correct fuse cannot be recognized, pull all fuses in the fuse box.

3. Disconnect the 12 Volt auxiliary battery under the cover in the cargo area.


NOTE:
Before disconnecting the 12 Volt auxiliary battery, if necessary, lower the windows, unlock the doors and open the back door as required. Once the 12 Volt auxiliary battery is disconnected, power controls will not operate.

WARNING:
The high voltage system may remain powered for up to 10 minutes
after the vehicle is shut off or disabled. To prevent serious injury
or death from severe burns or electric shock, avoid touching,
cutting, or breaching any orange high voltage power cable or high
voltage component.

The SRS may remain powered for up to 90 seconds after the vehicle
is shut off or disabled. To prevent serious injury or death from
unintentional SRS deployment, avoid breaching the SRS
components.

If none of the disabling procedures can be performed, proceed with
caution as there is no assurance that the high voltage electrical
system, SRS, or fuel pump are disabled.
