High Voltage Cables - Chevrolet 2011 Volt Collision Awareness Manual

High Voltage Cables

The high voltage cables connect the
high voltage components. The cables
are orange to identify the potential
existence of high voltage. Internal
braided shielding reduces electro-
magnetic interference by dissipating it
to chassis ground.
The high voltage cables in the
Chevrolet Volt are highly protected and
should not be cut . However,
performing the disabling procedure
prior to work eliminates electrical
current flow through the 12 volt system
and disables the high voltage electrical
system, external to the 360V battery.
