- REMOVE MOTOR CABLE BRACKET
- DISCONNECT NO. 1 INVERTER COOLING HOSE ASSEMBLY
- Release the retainer and disconnect the No. 1 inverter cooling hose assembly from the hybrid motor control inverter assembly as shown in the illustration.
- Protect the connecting part of the No. 1 inverter cooling hose assembly with a plastic bag to prevent entry of foreign matter.
- Protect the openings of the hybrid motor control inverter assembly with protective tape (non-residue type) to prevent the entry of foreign matter or water.NOTE:
Apply insulating tape to the pipes and in the disconnected hoses, or cover the pipes and hoses with plastic bags to prevent foreign matter from entering the cooling system and to prevent coolant from spilling near the hybrid motor control inverter assembly.
- DISCONNECT NO. 2 INVERTER COOLING HOSE ASSEMBLY
- Release the retainer hose clip and disconnect the No. 2 inverter cooling hose assembly from the hybrid motor control inverter assembly.
- Protect the connecting part of the No. 2 inverter cooling hose assembly with a plastic bag to prevent entry of foreign matter.
- Protect the openings of the hybrid motor control inverter assembly with protective tape (non-residue type) to prevent the entry of foreign matter or water.NOTE:
Apply insulating tape to the pipes and in the disconnected hoses, or cover the pipes and hoses with plastic bags to prevent foreign matter from entering the cooling system and to prevent coolant from spilling near the hybrid motor control inverter assembly.
- DISCONNECT NO. 6 ENGINE ROOM WIRE WARNING:
Wear insulated gloves.
- REMOVE HYBRID INVERTER PROTECTOR ASSEMBLY
- REMOVE HYBRID MOTOR CONTROL INVERTER ASSEMBLY WARNING:
Wear insulated gloves.
NOTE:Even after the coolant is drained, coolant remains in the hybrid motor control inverter assembly due to its internal structure. Therefore, plug or cover the pipes with a plastic bag when removing the hybrid motor control inverter assembly from the vehicle so that coolant does not spill out.
- Remove the 2 nuts and hybrid motor control inverter assembly.NOTE:
- Since the hybrid motor control inverter assembly is very heavy, 2 people are needed to remove the hybrid motor control inverter assembly. When removing the hybrid motor control inverter assembly, do not damage the parts around it.
- To prevent damage, do not hold the hybrid motor control inverter assembly by the connectors.
- To prevent damage due to static electricity, do not touch the terminals of the disconnected connectors.
- Cover the connectors with insulating tape to prevent foreign matter or water from entering.
- Do not hold the pipe when removing the inverter.
HINT:
Even after the coolant is drained, coolant remains in the inverter due to its internal structure. Therefore, seal or cover the pipes when removing the inverter so that coolant does not spill out.
- Remove the 2 nuts and hybrid motor control inverter assembly.
