Tesla Model 3: Pyrotechnic Battery Disconnect- Install
Install
- Remove the dummy disconnect from where the pyrotechnic battery
disconnect will install.
- Use an IPA wipe to clean the HV mating surfaces of the shunt, busbar,
and the pryotechnic battery disconnect.
- Position the pyrotechnic battery disconnect into the HV battery for
installation. Make sure to align the pins of the connector with the new
pyrotechnic battery disconnect.
- Install the new bolts that attach the pyrotechnic battery disconnect to
the HV battery, and then mark the bolts with a paint pen after they are
torqued.
Torque 9 Nm
- Use the Hioki resistance meter to measure the resistance at the HV joint
between the newly-installed pyrotechnic battery disconnect and the LH busbar.
Note: The maximum acceptable resistance is 0.060 mΩ (60 μΩ). If the
resistance is above this value, escalate a Toolbox session, as appropriate.
