Overhaul; Recovering/Recycling Of Nimh Hv Battery Pack - Toyota AVALON Hybrid 2013 Manual

Emergency Response (Continued)

Overhaul

During overhaul, immobilize and disable the vehicle if not already done.
Refer to illustrations on page 17, 18 and 19. The HV battery cover should
never be breached or removed under any circumstances including fire. Doing
so may result in severe electrical burns, shock, or electrocution.
•
Immobilize Vehicle
Chock wheels and set the parking brake.
Move the shift lever to the Park position.
•
Disable Vehicle
Performing either of the following two procedures will shut the
vehicle off and disable the HV battery pack, SRS, and gasoline fuel
pump.
Procedure #1
1. Confirm the status of the READY indicator in the instrument
cluster.
2. If the READY indicator is illuminated, the vehicle is on and
operational. Shut off the vehicle by pushing the power button
once.
3. The vehicle is already shut off if the instrument cluster lights and
the READY indicator are not illuminated. Do not push the
power button because the vehicle may start.
4. If the smart key is easily accessible, keep it at least 16 feet (5
meters) away from the vehicle.
5. If the smart key cannot be found, disconnect the 12 Volt
auxiliary battery in the trunk to prevent accidental restarting of
the vehicle.
Procedure #2
(Alternate if power button is inaccessible)
1. Open the hood and remove the fuse box cover.
2. Remove the IG2-MAIN fuse (25 A clear colored) in the engine
compartment fuse box as illustrated on page 19. If the correct
fuse cannot be recognized, pull all fuses in the fuse box.
3. Disconnect the 12 Volt auxiliary battery in the trunk.
NOTE:
Before disconnecting the 12 Volt auxiliary battery, if necessary,
reposition the power seats, lower the windows, unlock the doors, and
open the trunk as required. The electric lock of the fuel filler door is
linked with the door lock. A manual fuel filler door release is located
inside the driver side trunk (refer to illustrations in the Roadside
Assistance section on page 28). Once the 12 Volt auxiliary battery is
disconnected, power controls will not operate.
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.
•
The SRS may remain powered for up to 90 seconds after the vehicle
is shut off or disabled. To prevent serious injury or death from
unintentional SRS deployment, avoid breaching the SRS
components.
•
If none of the disabling procedures can be performed, proceed with
caution as there is no assurance that the high voltage electrical
system, SRS, or fuel pump are disabled
