Insulation Resistance
Since hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles contain a high voltage battery, there is the risk of electric shock, electric leakage, or similar accidents if the high voltage component and vehicle are handled incorrectly. Be sure to follow the correct work procedures when performing inspection and maintenance.
- Be sure to remove the service plug in order to disconnect the high voltage circuits before performing inspection or maintenance of high voltage system harnesses and parts.
- The removed service plug must always be carried in a pocket of the responsible worker or placed in the tool box during the procedure to prevent the plug from being connected by mistake.
- Be sure to wear insulating protective equipment before beginning work on the high voltage system.
- Never allow workers other than the responsible person to touch the vehicle containing high voltage parts. To keep others from touching the high voltage parts, these parts must be covered with an insulating sheet except when using them.
- Refer to HIGH VOLTAGE PRECAUTIONS .
Never bring the vehicle into the READY status with the service plug removed unless otherwise instructed in the Service Information. A malfunction may occur if this is not observed.
- PRECONDITIONINGWARNING:
Follow the instructions below before starting the procedure.
- Disconnect high voltage circuit. Refer to HOW TO DISCONNECT HIGH VOLTAGE .
- Check voltage in high voltage circuit. Refer to CHECK VOLTAGE IN HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT .
GO TO STEP 2 .
- CHECK HIGH VOLTAGE HARNESS INSULATION RESISTANCE
Check insulation resistance of the high voltage harness with an insulation resistance tester (multi tester).
Measurement point
Vehicle installation state
- Resistance between the harness connector terminal and body
Only as for the harness
- Resistance between the harness connector terminal and harness connector plastic
- Resistance between the harness connector terminal and harness coating (a shield)
CAUTION:- Be sure to check that a harness connector and harness coating (a shield) do not have a wound or the damage such as cracks, and change it when there is a wound or a crack.
- Be sure to set the insulation resistance tester to 500V when performing this test. Using a setting higher than 500V can result in damage to the component being inspected.
- Wait for 30 seconds until the value becomes stable.
