PRECAUTIONS FOR HIGH-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT INSPECTION AND SERVICE
CAUTION:
This vehicle has a hybrid system that operates at voltages of up to 650 V. An organic electrolyte containing carbonic acid esters as its main component is used as the electrolyte for the HV battery. Be sure to follow the instructions in this manual to handle the system correctly. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or electrocution.
Technicians must undergo special training to be able to service and inspect the high-voltage system.
All high-voltage wire harnesses and connectors are colored orange. The HV battery and other high-voltage components have "High Voltage" caution labels. Do not carelessly touch these wires or components.
When there is a problem with a wire harness or connector of a high-voltage circuit, repairs to the harness or connector should not be attempted. Replace damaged or malfunctioning high-voltage wire or connector.
Before inspecting or servicing the high-voltage system, be sure to follow all safety measures, such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip to prevent electrocution. Carry the removed service plug grip in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are servicing the vehicle.
Note
After removing the service plug grip, turning the power switch on (READY) may cause a malfunction. Do not turn the power switch on (READY) unless instructed by the repair manual.
After removing the service plug grip, wait 10 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors and terminals.
Tech Tips
Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.
Before using insulated gloves, be sure to check them for cracks, tears and other types of damage by performing the following procedure.
Place the glove on its side.
Roll the opening up 2 or 3 times.
Fold the opening in half to close it.

WHEN USING A BRAKE TESTER
Tech Tips
When inspecting the brakes using a brake tester, the braking force of the rear wheels may be reduced. When the vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph), the brake control system of the vehicle limits the rear brake fluid pressure to approximately 50% of the normal brake fluid pressure when driving the vehicle, in order to reduce energy consumption.
Note
A high-speed type brake tester cannot be used.
The vehicle speed should be less than 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph).
Follow all usage and safety procedures in the operator's manual for the brake tester.
Place the wheels to be tested (front or rear) onto the rollers.
Start the hybrid system to allow normal brake booster operation.
Move the shift lever to N and confirm that neutral (N) has been selected.
Operate the brakes to perform the test.
WHEN USING A SPEEDOMETER TESTER
CAUTION:

ELECTRONIC SHIFT LEVER SYSTEM
BASIC OPERATION
This vehicle is equipped with an electronic shift lever system. This system electrically communicates the driver's intended shift state to the ECUs responsible for system control. The system also uses an electrically operated transmission parking lock mechanism.
Tech Tips
Normally, the transmission parking lock mechanism does not operate when the auxiliary battery is depleted or disconnected.
The shift lever position can be switched to P by the sub-battery even if the auxiliary battery is depleted or disconnected.
If the electronic shift lever system has been damaged due to a flood, etc., the shift state will not be able to be changed to or from park (P).When the shift state cannot be changed from park (P) to any other state, transport the vehicle by using the forced parking release mechanism to release the parking brake.
for L310: Click here
for L310F: Click here
There is no mechanical connection between the P position switch, shift lever and the transmission.
This system allows the driver to select the reverse (R), neutral (N), drive (D) and manual (M)* shift states using the shift lever or select the park (P) shift state by pushing the P position switch. Shift states are ECU controlled based on the actions of the driver and various conditions. Shift states can be verified using the shift position indicator in the combination meter and shift lever side shift position indicator or by using the GTS.
