PROCEDURE
REPLACE LABEL
Tech Tips
This procedure is for when the No. 1 hydrogen tank assembly or No. 2 hydrogen tank assembly is replaced, and the contents of the labels applied to the fuel filler opening lid assembly and hood assembly are changed.
Peel off the label cover film applied over the hydrogen tank pressure information label.
| *1 | Fuel Filler Opening Lid Assembly | *2 | Hydrogen Tank Pressure Information Label |
| *3 | No. 1 Hydrogen Tank Assembly | *4 | No. 2 Hydrogen Tank Assembly |
| *a | Tape with DO NOT USE AFTER date recorded | *b | Location to record Tank Inspection Passed date |
| *c | Location to record DO NOT USE AFTER date | - | - |
Note
When peeling off the label cover film, if the hydrogen tank pressure information label is also peeled off, replace it with a new hydrogen tank pressure information label.
Record the item onto new tape.
| Recorded Item | Recorded Contents |
|---|---|
| DO NOT USE AFTER date | From the 2 hydrogen tank assemblies installed to the vehicle, use the Tank Inspection Passed date of whichever tank has an older date, and starting from a point 1 month before the Tank Inspection Passed date, record a month/year that is 20 years in the future. Example: If the Tank Inspection Passed dates of each hydrogen tank assembly are as follows: No. 1 Hydrogen Tank Assembly: 2014.3, No. 2 Hydrogen Tank Assembly: 2014.4 The No. 1 Hydrogen Tank Assembly has an older date, so record the date as 2034.2 |
Note
Use the largest text size that can fit in the label width, and space it as compactly as possible.
When writing the text by hand, be sure to write the letters and numbers clearly and distinctly so that there can be no confusion.
Tech Tips
When recording the items with the label printer, use black lettering on transparent tape.
| Font | Cartridge (mm (in.)) | Tape Width (mm (in.)) |
|---|---|---|
| Gothic | 4.0 (0.1575) | 20 (0.7874) |
Apply the tape with item recorded to the hydrogen tank pressure information label.
Apply new label cover film over the hydrogen tank pressure information label.
Note
When applying the tape, avoid air bubbles as much as possible.

FIRST LEAK CHECK
Tech Tips
The primary leak inspection is performed using nitrogen gas when hydrogen system components are replaced or installed/removed, after installing the hydrogen tank unit to the vehicle and connecting the hydrogen piping.
When performing primary leak inspection, perform it with the floor covers and rear wheel house plate removed, so that the hydrogen tank assemblies and hydrogen piping are visible.
CAUTION:
When performing the primary leak inspection, do not perform procedures without wearing protective glasses and gloves.
High pressure nitrogen gas could cause a serious accident.
Note
After performing the primary leak inspection and confirming that there are no leaks, perform secondary leak inspection by filling compressed hydrogen gas at a hydrogen station. When performing secondary leak inspection, the vehicle cannot be driven to the hydrogen station under its own power, so transport it using a car carrier, etc.
| *a | Adjustment Bolt |
| *b | Manual Valve Closed |
Using an 8 mm socket hexagon wrench, apply the specified tightening torque to the adjustment bolt to make sure the manual valve of the No. 1 hydrogen tank assembly is closed.
Note
The manual valve shuts off the pressure from the hydrogen tank assembly, so be careful not to damage the hexagonal portion.
If the hexagonal portion has been damaged, the No. 1 hydrogen tank assembly must be replaced.
To prevent nitrogen gas from flowing into the hydrogen tank assembly, do not open the manual valve until after the primary leak inspection is completed.

Prepare the SST (10 MPa (102.0 kgf/cm2, 1450 psi) leak inspection tool).
| *a | SST (Port Assy) |
| *b | Injection Valve closed condition |
| *c | Discharge Valve closed condition |
Check that the injection valve and discharge valve of the SST (port assy) are closed.
| *a | SST (Regulator Assy) |
Connect the SST (regulator assy) to a nitrogen cylinder.
Note
Wrap the threaded portion with seal tape.
Securely tighten so that nitrogen gas will not leak out.
Connect the nitrogen cylinder to the hydrogen inlet receptacle assembly via the SST (regulator assy).
| *a | Nitrogen Cylinder | *b | SST (Regulator Assy) |
| *c | SST (Port Assy) | - | - |
Note
Leave the nitrogen regulator valve closed.
The internal volume from the cylinder to the nozzle should be 130 cc or less.
The smallest marking of the pressure system should be 0.2 MPa (2.0 kgf/cm2, 29 psi) or less.

Open the Nitrogen Cylinder Valve |
Slowly open the nitrogen cylinder valve.

|
Slowly Open |
Slowly open the injection valve of the SST (port assy).
| *a | SST (Regulator Assy) |
|
Open the Nitrogen Cylinder Valve |
Slowly rotate the handle of the SST (regulator assy) in the clockwise direction to open the valve, and let the pressure rise to 10 MPa (102.0 kgf/cm2, 1450 psi).
Note
Raise the pressure to 10 MPa (102.0 kgf/cm2, 1450 psi) over a period of 5 to 20 seconds.
If there is a hissing sound of nitrogen gas leaking out when the tank shut valves are opened, close both tank shut valves, and after determining the location of the leak, replace the leaking component with a new one.
Even when it seem like the leaking sound is only coming from one location, it may be drowning out leaking sounds from other locations, so make sure to perform leakage point identification for all connecting portions.
| *1 | Auxiliary Battery |
| *a | Battery Charger |
Connect a battery charger to the auxiliary battery, and put the auxiliary battery into a charging state.
Tech Tips
This is done to prevent the auxiliary battery from becoming discharged, as the tank shut valve of the hydrogen tank assembly will be forced to operate for 30 minutes.
Using the GTS, enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Power Source Control / Utility / Auto Power OFF Cancel

Open the tank shut valves of the No. 1 hydrogen tank assembly and No. 2 hydrogen tank assembly.
Note
If the Data List item "Medium-range Hydrogen Pressure (gauge)" decreases to below 0.6 MPa (6.1 kgf/cm2, 87 psi) the tank shut valves of the No. 1 and No. 2 hydrogen tank assemblies will forcibly close.
If there is a hissing sound of nitrogen gas leaking out when the tank shut valves are opened, close both tank shut valves, and after determining the location of the leak, replace the leaking component with a new one.
Even when it seem like the leaking sound is only coming from one location, it may be drowning out leaking sounds from other locations, so make sure to perform leakage point identification for all connecting portions.
If the tank shut valves of the No. 1 and No. 2 hydrogen tank assemblies do not open, open the tank shut valves again.
When the tank shut valve has been opened, if the pressure has gone below 10 MPa (102.0 kgf/cm2, 1450 psi), increase the pressure to 10 MPa (102.0 kgf/cm2, 1450 psi).
| *a | SST (Regulator Assy) |
|
Close the Nitrogen Cylinder Valve |
|
Close the SST (Regulator Assy) Valve |
Close the nitrogen cylinder valve.
Rotate the handle of the SST (regulator assy) in the counterclockwise direction to close the valve.
After closing the nitrogen cylinder valve and the SST (regulator assy) valve, wait for 10 minutes to allow the pressure in the piping to stabilize.
Tech Tips
When nitrogen has just been filled, the temperature inside the piping is increased, causing pressure to increase. Afterwards, when the temperature in the piping decreases, the pressure decreases. For this reason, pressure is not stable immediately after nitrogen filling.
After checking that the pressure gauge has stabilized, wait an additional 30 minutes, and then check the pressure gauge.

Slowly loosen the No. 1 hydrogen supply regulator plug until the hissing sound of gas escaping can be heard, then stop loosening the No. 1 hydrogen supply regulator plug and wait for the sound to stop. Repeat this procedure multiple times until the sound stops occurring, in order to depressurize the compressed hydrogen gas from the medium pressure leak check port of the hydrogen supply regulator assembly.
Note
When depressurizing the nitrogen gas, only loosen the No. 1 hydrogen supply regulator plug. Do not remove it.
Remove the No. 1 hydrogen supply regulator plug from the hydrogen supply regulator union.

Tech Tips
To enable accurate detection of hydrogen gas leaks from the piping, blow compressed air from the front of the vehicle towards the rear.
If there are water droplets, etc. adhering to any of the measurement locations, wipe them away before performing the procedures.
Note
If measurements are performed while water droplets, etc. are adhered, the hydrogen gas detector may be damaged.
Using SST and a hydrogen gas detector, measure each of the measurement locations for approximately 10 continuous seconds per location.
Note
