Recovery Inspection [06/2020 - ]: Procedure
- INSPECT FOR ELECTROLYTE LEAK WARNING:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves and protective goggles.
- Position the HV battery as shown in the illustration and leave it for 5 minutes.
*a 155 mm (6.10 in.) or more - Check that no electrolyte is leaking from the HV battery.
OK
There is no electrolyte leaking from the HV battery.
WARNING:- Perform this procedure in an area where the battery will not be exposed to fire.
- Do not touch the HV battery, unless absolutely necessary, as electrolyte may be leaking.
NOTE:If there is an electrolyte leak, make sure to wear insulated gloves and goggles and clean it using a piece of cloth. Do not leave electrolyte-contaminated cloths unattended. Dispose of them according to law or local regulations.

- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- INSULATION INSPECTION OF HV BATTERY WARNING:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
- Using a megohmmeter set to 500 V, 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 Condition Specified Condition A - Battery Outer Case Always 1 MΩ or higher B - Battery Outer Case Always 1 MΩ or higher *1 No. 1 HV Battery Main Cable (A) *2 No. 2 HV Battery Main Cable (B) *a Battery Outer Case Result
Result OK NG

- Check that the HV battery is not deformed or damaged.
- HV BATTERY CONNECTORS VISUAL CHECK WARNING:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves and protective goggles.
- Check that the orange connectors connected to the battery ECU assembly are not deformed or damaged.
OK
The connectors are not deformed or damaged.
HINT:
If any of the connectors are damaged, a Li-ion battery discharger will not be able to be connected to the HV battery. Soak the HV battery in a saltwater solution to discharge it.
