- If the Data List item "Medium-range Hydrogen Pressure (gauge)" decreases to below 0.6 MPa (6.1 kgf/cm2 , 87 psi) the tank shut valves of the No. 1 and No. 2 hydrogen tank assemblies will forcibly close.
- If there is a hissing sound of nitrogen gas leaking out when the tank shut valves are opened, close both tank shut valves, and after determining the location of the leak, replace the leaking component with a new one.
- Even when it seem like the leaking sound is only coming from one location, it may be drowning out leaking sounds from other locations, so make sure to perform leakage point identification for all connecting portions.

HINT:
When nitrogen has just been filled, the temperature inside the piping is increased, causing pressure to increase. Afterwards, when the temperature in the piping decreases, the pressure decreases. For this reason, pressure is not stable immediately after nitrogen filling.

When frost has formed on the hydrogen tank assembly or piping, water droplets may be formed when the frost begins to melt. If water droplets enter the tank or piping, it could result in blockage of the hydrogen piping, so do not allow water droplets to enter the tank or piping.
- Install the hydrogen supply regulator union.
Torque
41.5 N*m (423 kgf*cm, 31 ft.*lbf)
NOTE:When installing the O-ring, make sure that it is not pinched.
- Remove the hydrogen supply regulator union.
- To prevent damage to the seal portions and threaded portions, and to prevent foreign matter such as dust or metal fragments from entering the openings, do not remove the protective tape covering the seal portions, threaded portions, and openings of the hydrogen supply regulator union until immediately before performing work.NOTE:
When frost has formed on the hydrogen tank assembly or piping, water droplets may be formed when the frost begins to melt. If water droplets enter the tank or piping, it could result in blockage of the hydrogen piping, so do not allow water droplets to enter the tank or piping.
- Apply TOYOTA Genuine FC Grease to a new O-ring and to the threaded portion of the hydrogen supply regulator union.
- Install the O-ring to the hydrogen supply regulator union.NOTE:
During installation, make sure not to damage the O-ring.
- Install the No. 1 hydrogen supply regulator plug to the hydrogen supply regulator union.
Torque: 25 N*m (255 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf)
- Close the tank shut valve of the No. 1 hydrogen tank assembly and No. 2 hydrogen tank assembly.
- Disconnect the nitrogen regulator from the hydrogen inlet receptacle assembly.
- Remove the hydrogen tank unit from the vehicle, and replace the leaking component with a new one.
- After replacing the leaking component with a new one, perform primary leak inspection again.
- Using soapy water, check the connection points of each component on the vehicle side and on the nitrogen regulator side to determine the locations of the leaks.
- CONNECT NO. 3 PARKING BRAKE CABLE ASSEMBLY
- Connect the No. 3 parking brake cable assembly to the vehicle with the 2 bolts.
Torque: 6.0 N*m (61 kgf*cm, 53 in.*lbf)

- SECOND LEAK CHECK NOTE:
- Secondary leak inspection is performed after primary leak inspection has found no leaks, and filling with compressed hydrogen gas has been performed.
- When performing secondary leak inspection, the vehicle cannot be driven to the hydrogen station under its own power, so transport it using a car carrier, etc.
- At the hydrogen station, fill the tanks completely with compressed hydrogen gas.
- Turn the power switch to on (READY), check that the READY indicator in the combination meter is illuminated, and then turn the power switch off.
HINT:
This is done to apply hydrogen gas pressure to the hydrogen gas piping.
- Blow compressed air around the underside of the vehicle.
HINT:
To enable accurate detection of hydrogen gas leaks from the piping, blow compressed air from the front of the vehicle towards the rear.
- If there are water droplets, etc. adhering to any of the measurement locations, wipe them away before performing the procedures.NOTE:
If measurements are performed while water droplets, etc. are adhered, the hydrogen gas detector may be damaged.
- Using SST and a hydrogen gas detector, measure each of the measurement locations for approximately 10 continuous seconds per location.
- SST: 09401-62010
NOTE:- To perform the measurement, hold the tip of the hydrogen gas detector as shown in the illustration (*c), in contact with a single location from any one of the directions shown.
<Hydrogen Gas Detector Contact Location and Direction>
*a Hydrogen Gas Detector *b Side View *c Cutaway View - Hold the tip in light contact with the location so that the tip does not deform.
HINT:
- Immediately after the measurement starts, the measured value may be unstable.
- If the measured value is outside of the specification, remove the hydrogen tank unit from the vehicle and replace the leaking component with a new one, and perform primary and secondary leak inspection again.
