HYBRID COMPONENT LOCATION AND IDENTIFICATION
This chart provides the location, description and basic function of the hybrid
system components. Refer to the component location illustration on the following
page.
COMPONENT
LOCATION / DESCRIPTION
FUNCTION
1 High-Voltage
Shut-
Off Switch
•
Located in the jack stowage
compartment, passenger side
in the cargo area.
Disconnects HV battery in the
event of a collision
2 High-Voltage
Service Disconnect
Switch
•
Located on top of the HV
battery, passenger side in the
cargo area under carpet.
•
Orange in color with molded
plastic handle, about 100 mm
(4 inch) in diameter.
Provides means to disconnect HV
battery for safely servicing
vehicle.
3 High-Voltage
Battery
— 300+ Volts
•
Located in the cargo area
under carpet.
•
Sealed nickel-metal hydride.
Provides high-voltage storage
(300+ V ) for vehicle propulsion
requirements.
4 High-Voltage
Wiring
•
Runs along underside of
vehicles cab floor from HV
battery to electronically
controlled continuously
variable transaxle (eCVT) then
to DC-to-DC converter.
•
All high-voltage wiring has
orange-colored insulation.
Provides physical path for high-
voltage circuitry.
5 12-Volt
Battery
•
Located under the hood on
driver side of the vehicle.
•
Typical automotive 6-cell
lead/acid design.
Provides 12-volt power for vehicle
accessories.
6 Electronically
Controlled
Continuously
Variable Transaxle
(eCVT)
•
Transverse-mounted design
similar to the non-hybrid
Escape/Mariner vehicles.
•
Contains the traction motor,
generator motor and hybrid
electronics.
Provides delivery of power to
wheels for vehicle propulsion,
generates electricity to recharge
the batteries during braking and
coasting, and contains certain
hybrid electronics.
7 DC/DC
Converter
•
Located under the hood on the
passenger side forward of the
strut tower.
Provides 12 volts of power to
charge the 12-volt battery and run
vehicle accessories.
8 Fuel Shut-Off Inertia
Switch
•
Located behind the flip-up
panel in the passenger front
foot well.
Disables power supply to the
gasoline fuel pump and the HV
shut-off switch in the event of a
collision.
NOTE:
All High-voltage wires and harnesses are wrapped in orange-colored insulation.
