CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
Therefore, make sure to return the HV battery through an authorized collection agent.
HINT:
In order to return the HV battery in a safe manner, it may be necessary to discharge it. The following pre-return inspection procedure can be used to determine whether or not it is necessary to discharge the HV battery the method that may be required.
PROCEDURE
1. | INSPECT FOR ELECTROLYTE LEAK |
CAUTION:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves and protective goggles.
(a) Position the HV battery as shown in the illustration and leave it for 5 minutes. |
|
(b) Check that no electrolyte is leaking from the HV battery.
OK:
There is no electrolyte leaking from the HV battery.
CAUTION:
NOTICE:
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.

B | GO TO STEP 5 |
C | GO TO STEP 6 |
|
3. | CHECK HV BATTERY VOLTAGE |
CAUTION:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
(a) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Voltage:
CAUTION: Make sure not to cross the probes of the electrical tester. |
|
NG | GO TO STEP 6 |
|
4. | INSULATION INSPECTION OF HV BATTERY |
CAUTION:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
(a) Using a megohmmeter set to 500 V, measure the insulation resistance according to the value(s) in the table below. NOTICE: 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:

NG | GO TO STEP 6 |
|
5. | HV BATTERY VISUAL CHECK |
CAUTION:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves.
(a) Check that the HV battery is not deformed or damaged.
OK:
The HV battery is not deformed or damaged.
OK | RETURN HV BATTERY |
NG | GO TO STEP 6 |
6. | HV BATTERY CONNECTORS VISUAL CHECK |
CAUTION:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves and protective goggles.
(a) 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.
OK | DISCHARGING (WHEN USING THE LI-ION BATTERY DISCHARGER) |
