Battery Hold Down Retainer Replacement
Removal Procedure

    Warning: Always ensure the Battery Maintenance Mode is inactive before disconnecting the low voltage 12 volt battery (or batteries). This mode can be active with the ignition off, regardless of whether the vehicle charging cord is plugged in or not. When this mode is active, the on-board high voltage battery charger(s) will energize the 12 volt battery cables and charge the 12 volt battery (or batteries). Disconnecting any battery cables while this mode is active may result in an electrical shock or a burn from hot battery cable leads.

  1. Check the 12 volt battery voltage with a digital multimeter before disconnecting any battery cable leads. If the voltage is 13.5 volts or above, the Battery Maintenance Mode is active. The technician must wait for the on-board battery charger(s) to deactivate before disconnecting any battery cables.Charging System Description and Operation
