Overhaul

Overhaul

During overhaul, immobilize and disable the vehicle if not already done (See illustrations). The HV battery cover should never be breached or removed under any circumstances including fire. Doing so may result in severe electrical burns, shock, or electrocution.

- Immobilize Vehicle
Chock wheels and set the parking brake.
Move the shift lever to the Park position.

- Disable Vehicle
Performing any one of the following three procedures will shut the vehicle off and disable the HV battery pack, SRS, and gasoline fuel pump.




Procedure #1
1. Confirm the status of the READY indicator in the instrument cluster.
2. If the READY indicator is illuminated, the vehicle is on and operational. Shut off the vehicle by pushing the power button once.
3. The vehicle is already shut off if the instrument cluster lights and the READY indicator are not illuminated. Do not push the power button because the vehicle may start.
4. If the smart key is easily accessible, keep it at least 16 feet (5 meters) away from the vehicle.
5. If the smart key cannot be found, disconnect the 12 Volt auxiliary battery under the cover in the cargo area to prevent accidental restarting of the vehicle.




Procedure #2 (Alternate if power button is inaccessible)
1. Open the hood and remove the engine room cover.
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Remove the IG2 MAIN fuse (30A green colored) in the engine compartment fuse box (refer to illustration). If the correct fuse cannot be recognized, pull all fuses in the fuse box.
4. Disconnect the 12 Volt auxiliary battery under the cover in the cargo area.
