Caution:
•
Wear insulating gloves and protective goggles.
•
After removing the service plug grip, attach a note to it to prevent other
technicians from mistakenly reconnecting it while you are servicing the vehicle.

(1) Wear insulating gloves and remove the service
plug grip after sliding up the lever of the
service plug grip as shown in the illustration.
Caution:

Keep the removed service plug grip in
your pocket to prevent other technicians
from accidentally reconnecting it while
you are servicing the vehicle.
•
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.
Notice:
•
Turning the power switch to READY ON
with the service plug grip removed can cause a malfunction, so make sure not to
turn the power switch to READY ON.
•
Connect the auxiliary battery on the same day of installing the service plug grip to
allow the battery cell voltage equalization function of the battery smart unit to
operate.
Hint:
Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the
inverter with converter assembly and electric vehicle charger assembly.
