ENGINE ASSEMBLY REMOVAL


  1. PRECAUTION

    CAUTION:


    • The engine assembly with transaxle 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 650 V. 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.

  2. RECOVER REFRIGERANT FROM AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM


    1. Turn the power switch on (READY).

      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.

    4. Turn the power switch off.
