    Click here 2019 - 2020 MY Avalon Avalon HV [04/2018 - 08/2020]; INTRODUCTION: REPAIR INSTRUCTION: INITIALIZATION

  • If the HV battery has been struck or dropped, replace it.
  • When connecting a connector to the HV battery, confirm that the connector is securely connected through the following:

    - Push the connector until a click sound is heard.

    - Visually check and confirm that the connector is securely connected by pulling on it.

  • Make sure to insulate the high-voltage connectors and terminals of the HV battery with insulating tape after removing it.

    If the HV battery stored without insulating the connectors and terminals, electric shock or fire may result.

  • When performing repairs around the HV battery, such as using a tap, do not allow metal shavings to enter the HV battery.
  • Do not touch any high voltage wire harnesses, connectors or parts with bare hands.
  • Hold the areas shown in the illustration and lift the HV battery.
  • Do not allow foreign matter, such as grease or oil, to adhere to the bolts or nuts of the HV battery.
  • Do not put your hands into the openings of the HV battery.

    *a

    Opening

  • When removing/installing/moving the HV battery, make sure not to tilt it more than 80°.
