Identification of high voltage wiring harnesses and equipment
The following measures are applied to the high voltage equipment and wiring harnesses
so that they can be distinguished from other non-high voltage areas. Never touch the high
voltage wiring harnesses, high voltage connectors, and equipment with a high voltage warning
label attached without wearing insulating gloves before cutting off the high voltage.
ー
The high voltage cable and connectors are covered by orange insulation as a standard.
ー
A warning label is attached to the high voltage equipment (high voltage battery and inverter)
indicating the presence of high voltage inside the equipment.
●
Handling of high voltage connectors and terminals
• When touching a high voltage terminal not covered by insulation, wear insulating gloves and
verify that the voltage is 0 V using a tester in advance.
• Protect a disconnected high voltage connector using insulation tape immediately after being
disconnected so that the terminal is not exposed. Handle one terminal at a time to avoid
both terminals being exposed at once.
• Before connecting a terminal, thoroughly remove any adhesive on the terminal using
a clean cloth.
• Securely tighten the screw terminals of the high voltage parts to the specified torque.
Insufficient or excessive tightening torque could cause a malfunction of the vehicle.
