Electrical Bonding
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Battery Bonding
Inverter Bonding
High Voltage Integrated Box Bonding
WARNING:
Do not do any work on the HV
electric system until the HV
system on the vehicle is powered down.
All the electrical components of the HV system have an electrical bonding connection to the vehicle chassis. This makes sure that there are no electrical shocks due to potential differences between the HV components and the metal chassis components. Also to make sure that there is also no potential difference between the HV components.
The HV components with individual electrical bonding are:
- PHEV battery
- Inverter
- High Voltage Integrated Box
- HV interior heater.
The electric A/C compressor and the hybrid drive assembly (including the CIMG ) use the engine and transmission ground cables.
