Foreword This guide was developed to educate and assist dismantlers in the safe handling of Toyota C-HR Hybrid gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles. C-HR Hybrid dismantling procedures are similar to other non-hybrid Toyota vehicles with the exception of the high voltage electrical system. It is important to recognize and understand the high voltage electrical system features and specifications of the Toyota C-HR Hybrid, as they may not be familiar to dismantlers.
About the C-HR Hybrid The C-HR Hybrid 5-door hatchback joins the hybrid model for Toyota. Hybrid Synergy Drive means that the vehicle contains a gasoline engine and an electric motor for power. The two hybrid power sources are stored on board the vehicle: Gasoline stored in the fuel tank for the gasoline engine.
C-HR Hybrid Identification In appearance, the 2017 model year C-HR Hybrid is nearly identical to the conventional, non-hybrid Toyota C-HR. The C-HR Hybrid is a 5-door hatchback. Exterior, interior, and engine compartment illustrations are provided to assist in identification. The alphanumeric 15 character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is provided on the floor under the right side front seat and on the left side B pillar.

C-HR Hybrid Identification (Continued) Interior The instrument cluster (hybrid system indicator, READY indicator, and warning lights) located in the dash behind the steering wheel, is different than the one on the conventional, non-hybrid C-HR. In place of a tachometer, a hybrid system indicator is used to show power output. Notice: If the vehicle is shut off, the instrument cluster gauges will be “blacked out”, not illuminated.

Hybrid Synergy Drive Operation Once the READY indicator is illuminated in the instrument cluster, the vehicle may be driven. However, the gasoline engine does not idle like a typical automobile and will start and stop automatically. It is important to recognize and understand the READY indicator provided in the instrument cluster.
Hybrid Vehicle (HV) Battery Pack and Auxiliary Battery The C-HR Hybrid features a high voltage Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery pack that contains sealed Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery modules. HV Battery Pack The HV battery pack is enclosed in a metal case and is rigidly mounted to the cabin area under the rear seat.

High Voltage Safety The HV battery pack powers the high voltage electrical system with DC electricity. Positive and negative orange colored high voltage power cables are routed from the battery pack, under the vehicle floor pan, to the inverter/converter. The inverter/converter contains a circuit that boosts the HV battery voltage from 201.6 to 600 Volts DC.
High Voltage Safety (Continued) Service Plug Grip The high-voltage circuit is cut by removing the service plug grip (see page 15). Hybrid Vehicle Computer ➍ Volts DC ➋ Compressor ➋ ❸ ❸ Inverter/ Electric Converter Generator 12 Volts Electric Volts DC Auxiliary ➊...
Precaution to be observed when dismantling the vehicle WARNING: ・ The high voltage system may remain powered for up to 10 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 breaching any orange high voltage power cable or high voltage component.
Spills The C-HR Hybrid contains the same common automotive fluids used in other non-hybrid Toyota vehicles, with the exception of the NiMH electrolyte used in the HV battery pack. The NiMH battery electrolyte is a caustic alkaline (pH 13.5) that is damaging to human tissues. The electrolyte, however, is absorbed in the cell plates and will not normally spill or leak out even if a battery module is cracked.
