Removal of HV battery (2012 Model)

WARNING:
Be sure to wear insulated gloves when handling high-voltage parts.
Even if the vehicle is shut off and the relays are off, be sure to remove the
service plug grip before performing any further work.
Power remains in the high voltage electrical system for 10 minutes even
after the HV battery pack is shut off because the circuit has a condenser
that stores power.
Make sure that the tester reading is 0 V before touching any high-voltage
terminals which are not insulated.
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 cutting the SRS components.
