Safety Precaution: Notes
Precautions to take before servicing high voltage system
DANGER
Since hybrid vehicles contain a high voltage battery, if the high voltage system or vehicles are handled incorrectly, this might lead to serious accidents like electric shock and electric leakage.
WARNING:
- Be sure to shut off the high voltage system by removing the safety plug before performing inspection or repairing the high voltage system.
(Refer to "HIGH VOLTAGE SHUT-OFF PROCEDURES ")
- Keep the safety plug completely removed to prevent the plug from being connected by mistake.
- Do not keep any metal objects (watch, ring etc.) while working on the high voltage system, which it can cause serious accidents like electric shock.
- Before beginning work on the high voltage system, the worker should wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to prevent safety accidents.
(Refer to "PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT ")
- Never allow technician to work on high voltage systems who are not wearing personal protective equipment. High voltage components should be covered with an insulation cover/sheet to prevent safety accidents.
- Use insulation tools when working on the high voltage system.
- Put the removed high voltage components on the insulation mat.
Information
- All the high voltage wiring and connectors are orange.
- A caution label for high voltage is attached to the high voltage components.
- High voltage components:
High Voltage Battery Pack Assembly, Power Relay Assembly (PRA), BMS ECU, Hybrid Power Control Unit (HPCU), Hybrid Drive Motor, Hybrid Starter Generator (HSG), Electric A/C Compressor, Low DC/DC Converter (LDC), High Voltage Cables, etc.
CAUTION:
Place "High Voltage" caution signs as shown on image below. To prevent technician injury.
