MHEV Battery
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
The MHEV
battery is connected to ground through the MHEV
junction box (rear).
| ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| 1 | MHEV battery |
| 2 | MHEV cable terminal (positive) |
| 3 | Wiring harness connector |
| 4 | MHEV battery breather pipe connection |
| 5 | MHEV cable terminal (negative) |
The MHEV battery is located in the loadspace under the floor, adjacent to the DC/DC . The MHEV battery is installed in the MHEV battery housing with bolts.
The MHEV battery is a sealed unit and cannot be opened. The MHEV battery contains the following:
- MHEV battery module with 14 cells.
- The Battery Energy Control Module (BECM).
The cells in the MHEV battery module are the Lithium-ion type.
The BECM controls the electrical current flowing into and out of the MHEV battery.
The MHEV battery has the following connections:
- The MHEV cable terminal (positive).
- The MHEV cable terminal (negative).
- A wiring harness connector for the BECM .
- A MHEV battery breather pipe connection allows for pressure equalization between the inside of the MHEV battery and the outside atmosphere. A MHEV battery breather pipe also allows gases to be vented outside the passenger compartment.
The MHEV battery is cooled by an air flow produced the MHEV battery electric cooling fan. The MHEV battery electric cooling fan is powered by a 12V Direct Current (DC) motor which is controlled by a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal from the BECM .
