Module, Power Inverter (PIM) Fuse: Removal

When performing any repairs that involve contact with high voltage components or systems, the technician performing repairs on the vehicle must verify that the system remains powered down during high voltage repairs.

• This must be done by removing the service disconnect.
• The high voltage power down 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.

Even with the high-voltage battery manual service disconnect removed, the high-voltage battery cable connections below the Power Inverter Module (PIM) cover may still be energized with up to 400 volts DC. Do not touch the high-voltage battery connections, or allow any tools, fluids, or other objects to come into contact with the connections until it is verified that voltage is not present. Failure to comply with this warning may result in personal injury including burn, shock, or fatal injury.

On vehicles equipped with the high voltage system, disconnecting the 12 volt battery negative cable alone will not power down the 12 volt system. You must perform the 12 volt Power Down procedure before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
