Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect the hybrid battery. Refer to Hybrid Battery Service Disconnect/Connect .
- Unclip the battery positive cable jumper block (1) from the engine control module (ECM) bracket (4).
- Disconnect the ECM electrical connectors (2) and the transmission control module (TCM) electrical connector (3).
- Remove the ECM bracket bolts (1), nuts (2) and ECM bracket (3).
- Remove the generator control module cover bolts (1) and cover (2).
- Check the generator control module for voltage potential, in order to ensure that the module has been disabled.
- Measure from the 36-volt positive terminal (3) to a known good chassis ground. The voltage should be less than 3 volts.
- Measure from the 12-volt positive terminal (4) to a known good chassis ground. The voltage should be less than 3 volts.
- Measure from the ground terminal (2) to a known good chassis ground, checking for continuity.
- Verify that the generator control module 3-phase cables are disabled.
- Measure from each phase 1, 2 and 3 connection (1) to a known good chassis ground. The voltage should be less than 3 volts.
- After verifying that there is no voltage present, the generator control module 3-phase cables can now be removed from the generator control module.
- If 3 volts or more are present, repeat the disconnect procedure. Refer to Hybrid Battery Service Disconnect/Connect .
- Remove the battery positive cable fuse nuts (1) and bolt (2).
- Reposition the battery positive cable (3) and remove the 175 mega amp fuse (4).
WARNING:
To help avoid personal injury, additional precautions must be taken prior to working on the generator control module or the generator starter. After removing the 36V battery cables from the generator battery, remove both engine wiring harness connectors from the generator control module. Wait at least 5 minutes and then remove the generator control module cover. Verify voltage levels at all 36V, 12V, and 3-phase connections, are less than 3 volts using a DMM before proceeding.
WARNING:
To help avoid personal injury, always treat the 3-phase cable and connectors as if voltage is present and as if the surface of all parts of the cable is hot.
