Energy / Liquid / Gases / Solids
5.2 High
Voltage Orange Cabling
The
high voltage cabling is orange, per Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
standards.
Cables
run under the floor of the vehicle and connect the high voltage battery to the
HPCU,
Motor,
LDC, Inverter, OBC, A/C compressor and other high voltage components
located
towards
the front of the vehicle.
The
presence of orange cables under the hood, in the under-floor battery compartment,
or
HV
cables under the car, identifies the vehicle as an PHEV vehicle.
• Never cut or disconnect the high voltage orange cabling and connectors without first
disabling the HV system by removing the safety plug (refer to page 11 ).
• Exposed cables or wires may be visible inside or outside the vehicle. Never touch the
metal chassis wires, cables, connectors, or any electric components before disabling
the system, and/or shorted to the vehicle chassis.
Failure to follow these instructions will lead to serious bodily injury or death by electrical
shock.
