4-3 Storing the Vehicle
The service plug must be removed to shut down the high voltage system for storage.
Do
not store a vehicle inside a structure. Keep the vehicle away from other vehicles if the
high voltage battery is severely damaged. There is possibility of delayed fire from a
severely damaged high voltage battery.
If LEAF needs to be stored or left unattended, the high voltage system must be shut down by removing the
service plug [refer to 3-4.6 Alternate Procedure 2 (Remove Service Plug) (DG–24)] and a sign put on the
vehicle

indicating it is an electric vehicle with high voltage dangers. For example:
DG–36

5. Dismantling Information
Removal
or repair of the high voltage battery requires special tools and specific training. Nissan strongly
recommends that only NISSAN certified LEAF dealer technicians perform these operations.
5-1 Precautions for Handling High Voltage Battery • Because LEAF contains a high voltage battery, there is the risk of electric shock,
electric
leakage, or similar accidents if the high voltage components or vehicle is
handled incorrectly. Be sure to follow the correct work procedures when performing
inspection and dismantling.
• If it is necessary to touch any of the high voltage harnesses or components you
must
always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and properly
shut-down the high voltage system by removing the service plug.
• Be sure to always wear appropriate PPE before beginning work on the high voltage
system.
• Be sure to remove the service plug in order to shut-down the high voltage system
before
performing inspection or dismantling of high voltage system harnesses and
parts.
• If the vehicle is heavily damaged, for example the high voltage battery is deformed,
broken,
or cracked; appropriate PPE must always be used at all times to avoid
electrical shock.
DG–38

5-2.2 Removal Procedure
NEVER disassemble or open the high voltage battery to avoid severe personal injury or
death
by electrical shock.
1. Discharge the high voltage battery. Refer to 3-1 Discharging Procedures (DG–13).
2.

Raise the vehicle and remove the high voltage battery under covers (front, center and rear) .
3. Remove the harness clamp (A) and disconnect the high voltage harness connector (B) from the high voltage
battery. Touching high voltage components without wearing
appropriate

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will
cause electrocution.
a. Use the following instructions to disconnect the high voltage harness connector. To prevent electrocution, cover battery side of high
voltage

connector with insulated tape. : Insulated tape A
