ENGINE ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

PRECAUTION
CAUTION:
- The engine assembly with transmission is very heavy. Be sure to follow the procedure described in the repair manual, or the engine lifter may suddenly drop.
- The vehicle has a hybrid system that operates at voltages up to 650V. The hybrid system uses an HV battery that contains an electrolyte which is a strong alkali solution that includes potassium hydroxide. Be sure to follow the instructions in this manual to handle the system correctly. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or electrocution Click here.
Note

After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work Click here.

RECOVER REFRIGERANT FROM AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

Turn the power switch on (READY).
Turn the A/C switch on.

Operate the cooler compressor under the conditions shown below:

Item	Condition
Engine Speed	Idling
Operating Time	3 minutes or more
A/C Switch Status	ON
Blower Switch Status	HI
Set Temperature	MAX COOL

This cause most of the compressor oil from the various components of the A/C system to collect in the A/C compressor.

Tech Tips

It is not necessary to operate the cooler compressor if the A/C does not operate because of compressor lock etc.

Turn the power switch off.
Recover the refrigerant from the air conditioning system using a refrigerant recovery unit.

Tech Tips

Use the refrigerant recover unit in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction manual.
