Battery Pack Disassembly and Reassembly: Reassembly: Notes

WARNING: 

• The power cables carry high voltage when the electric powertrain system is energized. To avoid serious injury from electrical shock, do not turn on the system with the power cables disconnected.
• Wear insulated gloves and use insulated tools to protect you from electrical shock. When removing or installing high voltage items, always use them. Wrap the high voltage items with insulating tape after removing. Please be careful when you see on the illustration.

NOTE: 

• Where icon is shown, for further information see below.
• Wear insulated gloves and use insulated tools to protect you from electrical shock.
• To avoid damaging the wiring and terminals, connect the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.
• Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection. Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or hoses, or interfere with other parts.
• Strong impact (i.e., dropping the high voltage battery, collision damage) may cause electrolyte leaks, internal short circuits and heat increase resulting in fire. Avoid impact to the high voltage battery.
• Organic electrolyte is poisonous. If ingested, get medical attention immediately.
• High voltage battery damage may cause flammable gas or electrolyte leaks and may result in fire. Do not damage the high voltage battery and keep sparks, flame and cigarettes away.

The electric powertrain components are located in this area. The electric powertrain is a high-voltage system. You must be familiar with the electric powertrain system before working on or around it. Make sure you have read the electric powertrain service precautions before doing repairs or service.
