8. Open the 12-volt battery service access cover.
9.
Disconnect negative (-) battery cable and cover it with
insulated tape.
10. Wait approximately ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high-voltage capacitor
after the fuse panel and battery cable have been disconnected.

Procedure 2 (Remove Service Plug) DANGER
• Do not remove the service plug without always wearing appropriate Personal
Protective
Equipment (PPE) to help protect the dismantler from serious injury or death
by electrical shock.
• Immediately cover the service plug socket with insulated tape. The high-voltage
battery
retains high-voltage power even when the service plug is removed. To avoid
electric shock, NEVER touch the terminals inside the socket. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury
or

death, the dismantler should carry the service plug on his/her person while work is in
progress.
NOTE: Before disconnecting the 12-volt battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust
the steering column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once 12-volt battery is
disconnected, power controls will not operate. 1. If possible, check the READY indicator status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high-
voltage

system is active. AAYIA0195ZZ

2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3.Push the ignition switch once to turn OFF the high-voltage
system. Then verify whether the READY indicator is off.
If the READY indicator does not turn off, continue to
step 4.
4. If possible, keep the Infiniti Intelligent Key at least 5 meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle (except to
open the trunk as noted below) .

Cutting the Vehicle Body DANGER
• Do not cut into high-voltage related areas to avoid severe personal injury or death.
• Do not cut into the high-voltage battery to avoid severe personal injury or death.
• When removing parts, NEVER touch the high-voltage parts or the insides of the
exposed
orange-colored high-voltage cables to avoid severe personal injury or
death. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must always be worn when touching or
working on high-voltage components. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury or
death,

the dismantler should carry the fuses or service plug on his/her person while work
is in progress. Do not cut air bag parts to avoid unintended deployment of the air bags and the risk of
severe

personal injury or death.
If approximately (10) minutes have passed since the dismantler shut down the high-voltage system [refer
to 3-4.1 High-voltage System Shut-Down Procedure (DG–19)], then the dismantler can cut the vehicle
except

for the high-voltage battery. DO NOT cut the high-voltage battery due to possible electrocution risk and electrolyte solution
leakage.
DG–30

SRS Air Bag System Components Location
The
SRS air bag system must not be cut as there is a risk of short circuit and unintentional deployment of
the SRS However, the vehicle can be cut (except inflators) under the following conditions: • The front, side and curtain air bags have deployed.
• At least three (3) minutes have passed after the 12-volt battery negative (-) cable has beendisconnected and the high-voltage system has been shut down.
1. Crash zone sensor (located
underhood near hood latch) 2. Supplemental front air bag
modules (Infiniti Advanced Air
Bags)3. Front seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bags
4. Roof-mounted curtain side-
