LocationDescription
Charge

port Under hood Connecting port for EVSE (Electric Vehicle
Supply Equipment) . Two ports are available:
Normal charge and quick charge (if so equipped) .
High voltage cables Under hood and
undercarriage Orange-colored power cables carry high voltage
current between each of the high voltage
components.
Traction Motor Under hood Converts three-phase AC power to drive power
(torque) which propels the vehicle.
Inverter Under hood Converts the DC power stored in the high voltage
battery to three-phase AC power and controls
motor torque (revolution) by regulating the motor
current.

Power Delivery
Module (PDM)
• On Board Charger
• DC/DC Converter
• High voltage junction box (J/B) Under hood
The PDM includes an On Board Charger, DC/DC
converter and high voltage junction box (J/B) .
The On Board Charger converts single-phase AC
power from a home power outlet to DC power
and increases the voltage in order to charge the
high voltage battery.
The DC/DC converter reduces the voltage of the
high voltage battery to provide power to the
12-volt battery in order to operate the vehicle’s
electric components (headlights, audio system,
etc.) .
The J/B provides electric power from the high
voltage battery to all high voltage parts of the
vehicle.
12-volt Battery Under hood A lead-acid battery that supplies power to the low
voltage devices.
Cabin heater Interior (This unit is
installed behind the
instrument panel) This is the electric heat source for the cabin
heater. It heats the interior of the vehicle.
High voltage battery Undercarriage Stores and outputs DC power (Maximum voltage
398.4V) needed to propel the vehicle.
High voltage battery
service disconnect Rear seat floor Isolates the battery from the rest of the high
voltage electrical system.
Brake power supply
backup unit Cargo area (This unit
is installed behind a
trim panel to prevent
access) Power supply backup unit for the brake system.
It supplies power to the brake system if a
malfunction occurs in the 12-volt battery.

3-3.5 High Voltage Battery Damage and Fluid Leaks
The high voltage battery contains electrolyte solution. To avoid exposure to electrolyte
solution
and serious personal injury, always wear appropriate solvent resistant Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and read the following precautions:
• Electrolyte solution is a skin irritant.
• Electrolyte solution is an eye irritant – If contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water and see a doctor immediately.
• If electrolyte leak occurs, wear appropriate solvent resistant PPE and use a dry cloth to clean up the spilled electrolyte. Be sure to adequately ventilate the area.
• Electrolyte solution is highly flammable
• Electrolyte liquid or fumes that have come into contact with water vapors in the air will create an oxidized substance. This substance may irritate skin and eyes. In these
cases, rinse with plenty of water and see a doctor immediately.
• Electrolyte fumes (when inhaled) can cause respiratory irritation and acute intoxication. Move to fresh air and wash mouth with water. See a doctor immediately.
If electrolyte solution leakage, or damage such as any problem with the high voltage battery casing are
observed, first responders should attempt to neutralize the battery by applying a large volume of water to the
battery pack while wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) . The neutralization process
helps stabilize the thermal condition of the battery pack but does not discharge the battery.
High voltage Battery Electrolyte Solution Characteristics: • Clear in color
• Sweet odor
• Similar viscosity to water
• Since the high voltage battery is made up of many small sealed battery modules, electrolyte solutionleakage should be minimal.
NOTE:
Other fluids in the vehicle are the same as those in a conventional internal combustion
vehicle.
3-3.6 Accessing the Occupants 1. Remove windowsa. Perform window removal the same as a normal vehicle.
2. Remove doors a. The doors are removable with hand tools or basic rescue tools such as electrical/hydraulicrescue tools. It may be easier to remove the doors by cutting door hinges.
3. Adjust steering wheel and front seat position (if necessary)
