Hybrid Battery System

How to Disable The Electrical System




- Immobilize Vehicle
Chock wheels and set the parking brake.
Move the shift lever to the Park position.

- Disable Vehicle
Performing any one of the following three procedures will shut the vehicle off and disable the HV battery pack, SRS, and gasoline fuel pump.

Procedure #1
1. Confirm the status of READY indicator in the instrument cluster.
2. If the READY indicator is illuminated, the vehicle is on and operational. Shut off the vehicle by pushing the power button once.
3. The vehicle is already shut off if the instrument cluster lights and the READY indicator are not illuminated. Do not push the power button because the vehicle may start.
4. Keep the smart key at least 16 feet (5 meters) away from the vehicle.
5. If the smart key cannot be found, disconnect the 12-Volt auxiliary battery in the trunk.

NOTE:
Before disconnecting the 12-Volt auxiliary battery, if necessary, reposition the power seats and tilt/telescoping steering wheel, lower the windows, unlock the doors, open the trunk and the fuel door as required. A manual fuel door release is located in the trunk (see illustration in the Roadside Assistance section). Once the 12-Volt auxiliary battery is disconnected power controls will not operate.




Procedure #2 (Alternate if power button is inaccessible)
1. Disconnect the 12-Volt auxiliary battery in the trunk.
2. Remove the engine compartment covers.
3. Remove the driver side fuse box cover.
4. Remove the IGCT No. 1 fuse (20A yellow colored) in the engine compartment junction block as illustrated. If the correct fuse cannot be recognized, pull all of the fuses in the fuse block.

Procedure #3 (Alternate if power button and engine compartment are
inaccessible)
1. Remove the RH J/B-B fuse (30A green colored) in the trunk near the auxiliary battery positive post as illustrated. If the correct fuse cannot be recognized, pull all three fuses.
2. Disconnect the 12-Volt auxiliary battery in the trunk.

WARNING:
- The high voltage system may remain powered for Up to 1O minutes after the vehicle is shut off or disabled. To prevent serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock, avoid touching, cutting, or opening any orange high voltage power cable or high voltage component.
- The SRS may remain powered for up to 90 seconds after the vehicle is shut off or disabled. To prevent serious injury or death from unintentional SRS deployment, avoid breaching the SRS components.
- If none of the disabling procedures can he performed, proceed with caution as there is no assurance that the high voltage electrical system, SRS, or fuel pump are disabled.
