Warning:
Only technicians who have been trained in High Voltage Awareness are
permitted to perform this procedure. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE)
and insulating HV gloves with a minimum rating of class 0 (1000V) must be worn
at all times a high voltage cable, busbar, or fitting is handled. Refer to Tech
Note TN-15-92-003, "High Voltage Awareness Care Points" for additional safety
information.
Remove
- Remove the pyrotechnic battery disconnect from the penthouse. See
Pyrotechnic Battery Disconnect (Remove and Replace).
- Remove the clip that attaches the HV battery penthouse harness to the HV
battery fast charge contactor.
- Disconnect the electrical harness from the HV battery negative contactor
connectors.
- Remove the insulator caps from the HV battery negative contactor.
- Remove and discard the bolt that attaches the HV battery negative
contactor to the negative busbar.
- Remove and discard the nut that attaches the HV battery negative
contactor to the battery terminal.
