SOLAR CHARGING SYSTEM Solar Charging System Power Generation Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

Due to the properties of the No. 1 roof window glass sub-assembly, if the No. 1 roof window glass sub-assembly is malfunctioning or there is an open in the wire harness between the No. 1 roof window glass sub-assembly and solar energy control unit, the solar energy control unit may not be able to detect the malfunction as it is unable to determine if electricity is not being generated due to a malfunction or the absence of sufficient sunlight. Therefore, even if a malfunction is not detected, there may still be a malfunction. Even if the solar roof is not malfunctioning, due to the environment (seasons, shadows, etc.) or system state, power may not be able to be generated. It is necessary to confirm any environment causes based on the interview with the customer or the on-site inspection, etc. Depending on the state of the system, it is possible to make approximate judgments based on the Vehicle Control History.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:


  • B006HUP

    Before performing any of the following operations, take precautions to prevent electric shock by turning the power switch off, wearing insulated gloves, and removing the service plug grip.


    • Inspecting the high-voltage system

    • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly

    • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the HV battery

    • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the electric vehicle charger assembly.

    • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the solar energy control unit.

  • B006IQP

    To prevent electric shock, make sure to remove the service plug grip to cut off the high voltage circuit before servicing the vehicle.

  • B006HQC

    After removing the service plug grip from the HV battery, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.

  • B006IVPC41
    *a Without waiting for 10 minutes

    After removing the service plug grip, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals. After waiting for 10 minutes, check the voltage at the terminals in the inspection point in the inverter with converter assembly. The voltage should be 0 V before beginning work.

    Tech Tips

    Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.

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.
