HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM PRECAUTION

Check the voltage at the terminals in the inspection point in the inverter with converter assembly.

1. 

   Remove the 11 bolts and inverter terminal cover. Click here

   Note

   Cover the opening with non-residue tape to prevent entry of foreign matter or liquid after removing the connector cover.

2. 

   Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Tech Tips

   Set the tester to DC750 V or more to measure the voltage.

   When turning the power switch on (IG) during inspections, do not press the power switch with the brake pedal depressed.

   CAUTION:

   Pressing the power switch with the brake pedal depressed causes the system to enter the READY-on state. This is very dangerous because high voltage may be applied to the inspection area.

   Turn the power switch off, wear insulated gloves, and disconnect the cable from the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery before touching any of the orange-colored wires of the high-voltage system.

   Turn the power switch off before performing any resistance checks.

   Turn the power switch off before disconnecting or reconnecting any connectors.

   When high-voltage connectors are removed, wrap the connectors with insulation tape to prevent them from contacting foreign objects.

   NOTICE FOR HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM ACTIVATION

   
   

   1. When the warning light is illuminated, or the auxiliary battery has been disconnected and reconnected, attempting to turn the power switch on (READY) may not start the system (the system may not enter the READY-on state) on the first attempt. If so, turn the power switch off and reattempt to start the hybrid system.

   PRECAUTIONS FOR DISCONNECTING AMD TERMINAL

   Tech Tips

   The AMD terminal is connected to the positive terminal of the auxiliary battery. To prevent damage when the AMD terminal is being disconnected, use the following procedure.

   
   

   1. Be sure to disconnect the cable from the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery before disconnecting the AMD terminal from the inverter with converter assembly or engine room junction block assembly.

   2. After disconnecting the AMD terminal, wrap the terminal with insulation tape.

   3. Be sure to reconnect the AMD terminal to the inverter with converter assembly or engine room junction block assembly before reconnecting the cable to the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery.

      Note

      A short circuit to ground may occur if the AMD terminal is disconnected before the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery. If a short circuit to ground occurs, it can result in an open circuit in a fusible link or fuse.

   DISPOSING OF AN HV BATTERY

   
   

   1. When disposing of an HV battery, make sure to return it through an authorized collection agent who is capable of handling it safely. If the HV battery is returned via the manufacturer specified route, it will be returned properly and in a safe manner by an authorized collection agent.

      CAUTION:

      
      

      • Accidents such as electric shock may result if the HV battery is disposed of improperly or abandoned. Therefore, make sure to return all HV batteries through an authorized collection agent.

      • After removing the HV battery, keep it away from water. Exposure to water may cause the HV battery to produce heat, resulting in a fire.
