    See step  2

  2. CHECK DUCT AND BLOWER 
    WARNING:

    Be sure to wear insulated gloves.

    1. Check that the service plug grip is not installed.
      NOTE:

      After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the power switch on (READY), unless instructed by the repair information because this may cause a malfunction.

    2. Remove the rear seat cushion leg sub-assembly.

      Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 9

    3. Check that the No. 1 HV battery intake filter, battery cooling blower assembly, No. 1 hybrid battery intake duct and No. 1 hybrid battery intake duct LH are not disconnected, damaged, or clogged with foreign matter.
