Module, Power Inverter (PIM): Installation
WARNING:
When performing any repairs that involve contact with high voltage components or systems, the technician performing repairs on the vehicle must verify that the system remains powered down during high voltage repairs.
- This must be done by removing the service disconnect.
- The high voltage power down procedure must also be performed to ensure that the vehicle is properly powered down.
- The technician must know the whereabouts of the service disconnect throughout the repair.
- The technician must ensure that no one reconnects the service disconnect while service is being performed.
- The technician must recheck that the service disconnect has not been reinstalled in cases where the vehicle was unattended.
NOTE:
Any time the Power Inverter Module (PIM) cover is removed, the cover and the screws MUST BE REPLACED .
- Attach the 12 volt battery cables to the studs.Make sure the positive cable (RED) is attached to the stud with the + symbol. Make sure the negative cable (BLACK) is attached to the stud with the - symbol (PIM) case.
Install two NEW
nuts to the studs. Tighten the nuts (1) to 20 Nm (15 lbf-ft).
- With the PIM opening upright, position the 2-wire high voltage connector into the PIM with the locator pin (1) at the top of the connector. Make sure the cables are not twisted by ensuring the eyelets (2) have a downward travel to properly align with the PIM contacts.
- If the connector is inverted as shown above, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE 2-WIRE CONNECTOR
.
- Insert the connector into the PIM slot with the positive indicators (1 and 2) and the negative indicators (3 and 4) matched up as shown above.
- Fully seat the connector (3) into the slot of the PIM case (4).
- Make sure the locator pin (2) is aligned with the locator bore (1). While mating the surfaces, make sure the pin easily seats into the bore.
- Install the NEW
eyelet connector bolts (1)
.
- Tighten the two eyelet connector bolts (1) to 24 Nm (18 lbf-ft).
- Torque the bracket screws (2) to 20 Nm (15 lbf-ft).
- Install a NEW
PIM cover (2). Install seven NEW
PIM cover screws (1). Tighten the screws to 8 Nm (71 lbf-in).
- Connect the PIM 12 volt electrical connector.
- Place the PIM in the installed position. Install and tighten the four PIM bolts (1) to 24 Nm (18 lbf-ft).
- Tighten the PIM bracket bolt (1) forward of the cradle front support to 24 Nm (18 lbf-ft).
- Attach the negative and positive PIM-to-battery 12 volt battery cable pin-type retainers (1).
- Connect the PIM-to-battery 12 volt battery cable nuts at the 12 volt battery cable terminals.
- Connect the Power Distribution Center (PDC) harness high-voltage electrical connector (1) at the PIM.
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to HOISTING
.
- Install and tighten the PIM ground strap bolt (1) to 12 Nm (9 lbf-ft).
- Connect the electric motor high-voltage electrical connector (1).
- Attach the two harness retainers (1).
- Install the high-voltage battery cable harness bracket, and the high-voltage battery cable harness bracket bolt (1).
- Install new tie-straps on the high-voltage battery cable harness in the locations noted during removal.
- Position the trough guide into position over the three underbody studs. Install the NEW
nuts (2 and 3) to secure the trough guide. Tighten the three NEW nuts (2) to 10 Nm (87 lbf-in).
- Connect the high-voltage battery cable harness high-voltage electrical connector (1).
- Lower the vehicle.
- Attach the two coolant hoses to the PIM, and install the clamps.
- Install the onboard charging module (OBCM). Refer to MODULE, ONBOARD CHARGING (OBCM), INSTALLATION .
- Install the battery tray. Refer to TRAY, BATTERY, INSTALLATION .
- Install the battery. Refer to BATTERY, INSTALLATION .
- Perform the LOSS OF ISOLATION CHECK. Refer to LOSS OF ISOLATION CHECK .
- Power up the high-voltage system. Refer to HIGH-VOLTAGE POWER UP .
- Top off the Power Electronics Cooling Reservoir.
- Perform the cooling system bleed procedure. Refer to POWER ELECTRONICS COOLING SYSTEM, STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- Perform the Resolver Relearn procedure. Refer to RESOLVER RELEARN .
