Inspection Procedure

CAUTION:
  • Before inspecting the high-voltage system, take safety precautions to prevent electrical shocks, such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip. After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
  • After disconnecting the service plug grip, wait for at least 5 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals.

HINT:

At least 5 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the w/ converter inverter assembly.

    OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

  16. INSPECT FRAME WIRE NO.3 
    CAUTION: Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
    1. Check that the service plug grip is removed.
    2. Disconnect the frame wire No.3 from the rear traction motor w/ transaxle assembly.

    3. Using a megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
      NOTE: Be sure to set the megohmmeter to 500 V when performing this test. Using a setting higher than 500 V can result in damage to the component being inspected.

      Standard Resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      U - Body ground and shielded wire ground 10 MΩ or higher
      V - Body ground and shielded wire ground 10 MΩ or higher
      W - Body ground and shielded wire ground 10 MΩ or higher
      NOTE: Wrap the terminals U, V and W of the w/ converter inverter assembly side No.3 wire frame (three-phase AC cable of the rear traction motor w/ transaxle assembly) with the insulating tape to prevent them from shorting to ground.
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    NG: REPLACE FRAME WIRE NO.3 

    OK: Go to next step 

  17. INSPECT EXTENSION WIRE ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the rear traction motor w/ transaxle assembly. (See REMOVAL )
    2. Remove the extension wire assembly from the rear traction motor w/ transaxle assembly. (See REMOVAL )
    3. Using a megohmmeter, measure the insulation resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
      NOTE: Be sure to set the megohmmeter to 500 V when performing this test. Using a setting higher than 500 V can result in damage to the component being inspected.

      Standard Resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      U - Shield shell 10 MΩ or higher
      V - Shield shell 10 MΩ or higher
      W - Shield shell 10 MΩ or higher
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      U - U Below 1 Ω
      V - V Below 1 Ω
      W - W Below 1 Ω
