BATTERY COOLING FILTER INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT NO. 1 HV BATTERY INTAKE FILTER

    Tech Tips


    • If the vehicle is used in an area with heavy traffic or excessive dust, or if the rear seat is used frequently, the No. 1 HV battery intake filter may be clogged. Clean or replace the No. 1 HV battery intake filter as necessary.

    • If "Maintenance required for Traction battery cooling parts" is not displayed on the multi-information display, clean the No. 1 HV battery intake filter with it installed to the vehicle to prevent clogs.


    1. A003O8O

      Visually inspect the No. 1 HV battery intake filter.

      Standard
      No clogs or damage.

      Note


      • If the No. 1 HV battery intake filter is damaged, replace it with a new one.

      • If the No. 1 HV battery intake filter is damaged, check if there is foreign matter inside the battery cooling blower assembly. Clean or replace the battery cooling blower assembly as necessary.

      • Do not clean the No. 1 HV battery intake filter with it installed to the vehicle.

      • Make sure to hold the fan of the battery cooling blower assembly when cleaning the battery cooling blower assembly with compressed air. If the fan is allowed to rotate, voltage will be generated, which may damage the battery cooling blower assembly circuit.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the No. 1 HV battery intake filter.
