Warning

  • Be sure to read and follow the "General Safety Information and Caution" before doing any work related with the high voltage system. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious electrical injuries.
  • Be sure to read and follow the "High Voltage Shut-off Procedures" before doing any work related with the high voltage system. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious electrical injuries.
  1. Switch "OFF" the ignition and disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary 12V battery.
  2. Shut off the high voltage circuit.

    (Refer to Hybrid Control System - "High Voltage Shut-off Procedures")

  3. Remove the power relay assembly.

    (Refer to High Voltage Battery System - "Power Relay Assembly")

  4. Insert a screwdriver or an awl (B) into the hole (A).
  5. Lift the pre-charge resistor (D) in the direction of arrow (C).

  1. Remove the pre-charge resistor (A).
