Inverter With Converter: Removal
CAUTION:
- When working on high voltage systems, always wear insulating gloves.
- Keep the removed service plug in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reconnecting it while you are servicing the vehicle.
- After removing the service plug grip, do not touch the high voltage connectors and terminals for 5 minutes.
NOTE:
After removing the service plug grip, do not operate the power switch as it may damage the hybrid vehicle control ECU.
- PRECAUTION CAUTION: The hybrid system uses high voltage circuits, so improper handling could cause an electric shock or leakage. During service (including installation/ removal, inspection and replacement of parts), be sure to follow the procedures (see PRECAUTION ).

- VERIFY THAT VOLTAGE OF INVERTER WITH CONVERTER IS 0 V CAUTION: Wear insulating gloves.
- Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage of the high voltage DC line.
Standard voltage: 0 V
HINT:
Use a measuring range of DC 400 V or more on the voltmeter.
- Using the voltmeter, measure the voltage between the terminals of the three phase connector (U - V, V - W, U - W).
Standard voltage: 0 V
HINT:
Use a measuring range of DC 400 V or more on the voltmeter.
- Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage of the high voltage DC line.
