- PRECAUTIONS FOR INSPECTING HYBRID BATTERY SYSTEM
- Before the following operations are conducted, take precautions to prevent electric shock by turning the ignition switch off, wearing insulated gloves, and removing the service plug grip from HV battery.
Refer to REMOVAL [12/2023 - ]
- Inspecting the high-voltage system
- Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the hybrid motor control inverter assembly
- Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the HV battery
- Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the electric vehicle charger assembly
- Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the voltage inverter
NOTE:After removing the service plug grip, turning the ignition switch to ON (READY) may cause a malfunction. Do not turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) unless instructed by the repair Service Information.
- To prevent electric shock, make sure to remove the service plug grip to cut off the high voltage circuit before servicing the vehicle.
- After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
- After removing the service plug grip, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals.
HINT:
Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the hybrid motor control inverter assembly and the electric vehicle charger assembly.

*a Without waiting for 10 minutes - Check the voltage at the terminals in the inspection point of the hybrid motor control inverter assembly.WARNING:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
- Remove the connector cover assembly from the hybrid motor control inverter assembly.
Refer to REMOVAL [12/2023 - ]
NOTE:- Do not touch the connector cover assembly waterproof seal.
- Do not allow any foreign matter or water to enter the hybrid motor control inverter assembly.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Inspection point At least 10 minutes after removing the service plug grip 0 V HINT:
Make sure to set the tester to DC750 V or more when measuring the voltage.
- Reinstall the connector cover assembly.
- Remove the connector cover assembly from the hybrid motor control inverter assembly.
- Check the voltage at the terminals in the inspection point of the rear transaxle with motor and inverter assembly.WARNING:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
- Remove the upper inverter cover sub-assembly from the rear transaxle with motor and inverter assembly.
Refer to REMOVAL [12/2023 - ]
NOTE:- Pull up vertically because the upper inverter cover sub-assembly is equipped with an interlock connector.
- Do not touch the upper inverter cover sub-assembly waterproof seal.
- Do not allow any foreign matter or water to enter the rear transaxle with motor and inverter assembly.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Inspection point At least 10 minutes after removing the service plug grip 0 V HINT:
Set the tester to DC750 V or more to measure the voltage.
- Remove the upper inverter cover sub-assembly from the rear transaxle with motor and inverter assembly.
- When turning the power switch on (IG) during an inspection, do not press the power switch with the brake pedal depressed.WARNING:
Pressing the power switch with the brake pedal depressed causes the system to enter the READY-on state. This is very dangerous because high voltage may be applied to the inspection area.
- Turn the ignition switch off, wear insulated gloves, and disconnect the cable from the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery before touching any of the orange-colored wires of the high-voltage system.
- Turn the ignition switch off before performing any resistance checks.
- Turn the ignition switch off before disconnecting or reconnecting any connectors.
- When performing work involving high-voltage wires, use either a tool wrapped with vinyl insulating tape or an insulated tool.
- When high-voltage connectors are removed, wrap the connectors with vinyl insulating tape to prevent foreign matter or water from entering them.
- Before the following operations are conducted, take precautions to prevent electric shock by turning the ignition switch off, wearing insulated gloves, and removing the service plug grip from HV battery.
- NOTICE FOR HYBRID BATTERY SYSTEM ACTIVATION
- When the warning is illuminated, or the auxiliary battery has been disconnected and reconnected, attempting to turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) may not start the system (the system may not enter the READY-on state) on the first attempt. If so, turn the ignition switch off and reattempt to start the hybrid system.
- PRECAUTIONS FOR DISCONNECTING AMD TERMINAL
HINT:
The AMD terminal is connected to the positive terminal of the auxiliary battery. To prevent damage when the AMD terminal is being disconnected, use the following procedure.
- Be sure to disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal before disconnecting the AMD terminal from the No. 1 luggage room relay block and No. 1 junction block assembly.
*1 AMD Terminal (DC/DC Converter Assembly Side) - After disconnecting the AMD terminal, wrap it with vinyl insulating tape.
- Be sure to reconnect the AMD terminal to the No. 1 luggage room relay block and No. 1 junction block assembly before reconnecting the cable to the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery.NOTE:
A short to ground may occur if the AMD terminal is disconnected before the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. If a short to ground occurs, a fusible link or fuse may break.
- Be sure to disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal before disconnecting the AMD terminal from the No. 1 luggage room relay block and No. 1 junction block assembly.
- DISPOSING OF HV BATTERY AND HV SUPPLY STACK SUB-ASSEMBLY
- When disposing of HV batteries and HV supply stack sub-assemblies, make sure to return them through an authorized collection agent who is capable of handling them safely. If they are returned via the manufacturer specified route, they will be returned properly and in a safe manner by an authorized collection agent.WARNING:
- Before returning the HV battery, make sure to perform a recovery inspection.
Refer to RECOVERY INSPECTION [12/2023 - ]
- Before returning the HV supply stack sub-assembly, make sure to perform a recovery inspection.
Refer to RECOVERY INSPECTION [12/2023 - ]
- After removing the HV battery or the HV supply stack sub-assembly, keep it away from water. Exposure to water may cause the HV battery or the HV supply stack sub-assembly to produce heat, resulting in a fire.
- Accidents such as electric shock may result if the HV battery or the HV supply stack sub-assembly is disposed of improperly or abandoned.
*a Dealer *b Battery Collection Agent Therefore, make sure to return HV battery and all HV supply stack sub-assemblies through an authorized collection agent.

- PRECAUTION WHEN REPLACING BATTERY ECU ASSEMBLY AND ECM
HV battery learning values are stored in the battery ECU assembly and ECM to display "Maintenance Required for Traction Battery at Your Dealer" on the multi-information display. When either of these ECUs is replaced, the new ECU receives the HV battery learning value data from the other ECU and updates the information.
NOTE:- Do not replace the battery ECU assembly and ECM at the same time as it clears the HV battery learning values. However, if it is necessary to replace both ECUs at the same time, replace them by following the procedure below.
- Do not replace the battery ECU assembly or ECM with used ones from other vehicles.
- Procedure when replacing both battery ECU assembly and ECM:
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
- Replace either of the ECUs.
- Connect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (READY) and wait for 5 minutes or more.
- Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 1 minute or more.
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
- Replace the other ECU.
- Connect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
- Check that the ignition switch can be turned to ON (READY).
HINT:
If the battery ECU assembly and ECM are replaced at the same time without following the above procedure, replace either of the ECUs with its original one and then replace it again by following the above procedure. If the correct procedure is not followed, perform the procedure again from the beginning.
