COOLANT PRECAUTION


  1. Note


    • The coolant (Toyota genuine FC stack coolant) is an exclusive coolant.

    • The coolant (Toyota genuine FC stack coolant) cannot be reused, so when filling, be sure to fill with new coolant (Toyota genuine FC stack coolant).

    • To prevent degradation of coolant (Toyota genuine FC stack coolant) performance, do not add or fill any other substances such as tap water or battery electrolyte refill liquid.

    • Do not use cotton work gloves or other gloves that could shed fibers.

    • DO NOT use any container that has previously been used to fill substances such as oil.

    • To prevent foreign matter from contaminating the coolant (Toyota genuine FC stack coolant) passages, wash out the prepared container with tap water, then wipe away any water remaining inside the container before using it.

    • If water or liquids other than the specified coolant (Toyota genuine FC stack coolant) are filled, the electrical resistance inside the FC stack assembly will be reduced, and the EV control system DTC P0AA6 (High Voltage System Insulation Malfunction) may be output.

    • 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.
