Hybrid Vehicle Safing Procedure for NiMh Battery Quick Training Guide QT013A Before servicing the high voltage system of hybrid vehicles, a safing procedure must be performed. This Quick Reference Guide describes the safing procedures for most Toyota hybrid models.

These high voltages are dangerous and can cause severe personal injuries, burns, electrical shock and even death if proper safety precautions are not followed. Always refer to the Repair Manual for vehicle-specific details. The electrolyte in nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries in hybrid vehicles is a strong alkali solution that includes potassium hydroxide, which is damaging to human tissues. To avoid injury from coming in contact with the electrolyte, wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE). Refer to the RM, FRM, ERG or other source for chemical hazard PPE. Notice: This guide does not certify you to work on hybrid vehicle high-voltage systems. You must complete Course 071 – Toyota Hybrid Systems (for service technicians), or Course 602 – Advanced Hybrid Systems (for collision repair technicians) to safely begin working on Toyota hybrid systems. Until you complete Course 071 or Course 602: • Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace the high-voltage parts, cables and their connectors. (High-voltage parts and cables are colored orange or have high-voltage warning labels.) • Vehicle-specific Safing Procedures Do not try to access the service plug. Failure to comply with these warnings can cause severe burns or electric shock that may result in serious injury or death. Check DTCs before beginning hybrid vehicle service. Insulation malfunctions can cause high voltage to be present in unexpected locations. Always check DTCs and repair any isolation faults before proceeding with vehicle service. DTC INF Code Indicates P0AA6* 526, 611, 612, 613, 614 HV Battery Voltage System Isolation Fault P0A1D 721, 722, 723, 787, 818 Monitor CPU Malfunction (ECU internal error) P0AA7 727 Malfunction in insulation monitoring circuit in HV Battery Smart Unit P0A1F 129 Malfunction in HV battery voltage circuit in the HV Battery Smart Unit *In 2001-2003 Prius, P3009 was used in place of P0AA6. Use the proper personal protective equipment (PPE). The following personal protective equipment (PPE) is mandatory for working on the high-voltage system in Toyota hybrid vehicles: •• • Safety glasses (ANSI certified) with side shields Class 0 electrical insulating gloves meeting ASTM standard specifications (up to 1000 volts) Gloves that have been in-service for six months must either: • Be sent out for electrical testing or • Disposed of and replaced with new gloves Refer to the RM for care and handling of gloves and in-use check procedures. Take responsibility for managing safety. The Certified Hybrid Technician is responsible for managing safety while inspecting or repairing any high-voltage components. • Confirm that the work area is dry and the areas around the hybrid components (HV battery, inverter) are dry • Create and maintain a safe zone around the hybrid vehicle as appropriate. • Use the “CAUTION: HIGH VOLTAGE. DO NOT TOUCH” sign to notify other technicians that the high-voltage system is being inspected and/or repaired. This sign can be found in most hybrid Repair Manuals under General > Introduction > Repair Instruction > Precaution.

It does NOT apply to RAV4 EV or Scion iQ EV. Before servicing the HV system: Even with the service plug removed, the HV battery still has highvoltage components inside. Note that using non-insulated tools can cause a short circuit between high-voltage components resulting in an electrical arc and burns. Always follow the safety precautions described in the Repair Manual when working around the HV battery. 1. Turn the power switch OFF, and remove the key from the interior detection area for the entry and start system. • When the vehicle is in READY mode, the engine may not be running – but it can start at any time, without warning • Secure the smart key at least 10 feet away from the vehicle to provide additional safety 2. Disconnect the cable from the auxiliary battery negative terminal. 3. Check the insulated gloves. • Before use, check the insulated gloves for cracks, tears and other types of damage by performing the following procedure: 5. Wait for 10 minutes or more to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter assembly. • The capacitor stores and releases high-voltage electricity supplied by the HV battery and the motor generators • The capacitor must be allowed to fully discharge before servicing the HV system 6. Check the voltage at the designated inspection points in the inverter (0V check). 1 Place the glove on its side 2 Roll the opening up 2 or 3 times, trapping as much air as possible within the glove 3 Fold the opening in half to close it 4 Confirm that there are no air leaks by listening for escaping air or holding the gloves against your cheek to feel for escaping air 4. Wearing insulated gloves, remove the service plug grip. • Keep the removed service plug in your pocket (or other secure location) to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage components Refer to the Repair Manual for the vehicle you’re servicing for the specific location of and procedure for removing the Service Plug. • Before using the voltmeter to measure voltage at the inverter terminals, test the voltmeter by measuring the voltage of the auxiliary battery • Be sure the meter is set to measure the appropriate voltage range as specified in the Repair Manual Refer to the Repair Manual for the specific test points for voltage measurements for the vehicle you’re servicing. 7. Insulate the disconnected high-voltage connectors with insulated vinyl tape.
