Page 16: Step 3: Disconnect High Voltage Battery
Be sure the air conditioning system is turned off at the dash controls. The high voltage battery for the CODA vehicle is designed to shutdown automatically under certain events, such as airbag deployment, seat belt pretensioner deployment, and if the Battery Management System or Driveline Control Module detects a malfunction that deems the need to shut down the high voltage system. - Page 17 Figure 13 High Voltage Shutdown System – Component Location Table 5: High Voltage Shutdown System Components High Voltage Interlock High Voltage In-Line (HVIL) interlock system is a continuous loop connecting all high voltage components. If any of the high voltage connectors are separated, the main high voltage battery relay opens, disconnecting the battery from the vehicle.
