CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
The necessary procedures (adjustment, calibration, initialization, or registration) that must be performed after parts are removed, installed, or replaced during the FC stack assembly removal/installation are shown below.
Replacement Part or Procedure | Necessary Procedure | Effect/Inoperative when not Performed | Link |
---|---|---|---|
Replace FC stack assembly | Perform the utility "FC Stack Shock History Clear" | Because the displayed value of Data List item "FC Stack Shock History" has not been cleared, when future on-vehicle inspections of the FC stack assembly are performed, a correct judgment cannot be made. |
CAUTION:
This vehicle contains high voltage circuits standardized with orange colored wiring and connectors, so follow the instructions in this manual to perform the procedures correctly.
If the correct procedures are not followed according to the instructions in this manual, there is a danger of electric shock from the high voltage circuits.
*a | Heavy object exceeding the capacity of the engine lifter |
Because the weight of the FC stack with FC converter assembly is extremely heavy, make sure to follow the work procedures described in the repair manual.
If work is not performed according to the procedures described in the repair manual, there is a danger that the engine lifter could drop and components could fall down.
*a | High temperature areas |
Do not touch the FC stack assembly or its surroundings when they are hot.
Touching the FC stack assembly or its surroundings when they are hot could result in burns.
Be sure to wear insulating gloves when working on high voltage wiring or components.
If work is performed without wearing insulating gloves, there is a danger of electric shock.
Note
When the vehicle is parked with the power switch off, if the FC control ECU judges that the FC stack temperature will go below 0°C (32°F), it activates the FC air compressor, hydrogen pump and FC cooling water pump for a maximum of 180 seconds and drains water from the FC stack assembly. When performing inspection or repairs with the power switch off (not on (IG) or on (READY)), disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal before performing work.
PROCEDURE
CAUTIONS FOR HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Note
Do not allow foreign matter to enter the opening of the connector.
