LocationDescription
T
raction Motor Built-into the transmission Converts three-phase alternating current (AC)
power to drive power (torque) which propels
the vehicle.
High-voltage
Battery
Trunk area (behind
rear seat back) The high-voltage battery stores and outputs
DC power (Maximum voltage 400V) needed to
propel the vehicle.
DC/DC Converter Trunk area (mounted to top of 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.) .
Service Plug Trunk area (below
parcel shelf; behind
access door in trim
panel) This is used to disable the high-voltage system.
12-volt Battery Trunk area (left side
behind trim panel) A lead-acid battery that supplies power to the
low voltage devices.

Preparation Items
SpecificationPurpose
Solvent
resistant protection gloves
Solvent resistant protection shoes –To utilize in the event of a
high-voltage battery
electrolytic solution leak.
Absorbent pad The same pad used for
internal combustion engine
fluids can be used. To absorb any high-voltage
battery electrolytic solution
leakage.
Standard fire fighting equipment Standard fire fighting
equipment.
Depending on type of fire
(vehicle or battery) use
standard fire fighting
equipment (water or
extinguisher) . To extinguish a fire.
Insulated tape InsulatingTo cover any damaged
harnesses to protect from and
prevent electrical shock. Tape
should cover all bare or
damaged wire.
3-1.1 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Protective Wear Control
Perform an inspection of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) items before beginning work. Do not use
any damaged PPE items.
3-1.2 Daily Inspection
This inspection is performed before and after use. The worker who will be using the items should perform
the inspection and check for deterioration and damage. • Insulated rubber gloves should be inspected for scratches, holes and tears. (Visual check and airleakage test)
• Insulated safety boots should be inspected for holes, damage, nails, metal pieces, wear or other problems on the soles. (Visual check)
• Insulated rubber sheet should be inspected for tears. (Visual check)
3-1.3 Insulated Tools
When performing work at locations where high-voltage is applied (such as terminals) , use insulated tools
meeting 1,000V/300A specifications.
3-2 Indications the High-voltage System is ON
If the READY indicator is ON, the high-voltage system is active.
Before

disconnecting the 12-volt battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, unlock the doors, and
open the rear hatch as required. Once 12-volt battery is disconnected, power controls will not operate.
