  • This must be done by removing the service disconnect.
  • The high voltage check out procedure must also be performed to ensure that the vehicle is properly powered down.
  • The technician must know the whereabouts of the service disconnect throughout the repair.
  • The technician must ensure that no one reconnects the service disconnect while service is being performed.
  • The technician must recheck that the service disconnect has not been reinstalled in cases where the vehicle was unattended.
  1. Align the manual service disconnect with the manual service disconnect socket on the high-voltage battery, and install the manual service disconnect with the handle in the upright position.
