Diagnosis Procedure

WARNING:

• Be sure to remove the service plug in order to disconnect the high voltage circuits before performing inspection or maintenance of high voltage system harnesses and parts.

• The removed service plug must always be carried in a pocket of the responsible worker or placed in the tool box during the procedure to prevent the plug from being connected by mistake.

• Be sure to wear insulating protective equipment consisting of glove, shoes, face shield and glasses before beginning work on the high voltage system.

• Never allow workers other than the responsible person to touch the Nissan Ariya vehicle containing high voltage parts. To keep others from touching the high voltage parts, these parts must be covered with an insulating sheet except when using them.

• Refer to HIGH VOLTAGE PRECAUTIONS : Precautions.

CAUTION:

Never bring the vehicle into the READY status with the service plug removed unless otherwise instructed in the Service Manual. A malfunction may occur if this is not observed.

NOTE:

To check a stable value, have time enough after putting a probe.

CAUTION:

• The following diagnosis procedure must be performed when “P1BA2-49” are detected and Li-ion battery is judged that its insulation resistance is dropping.

• Be sure to perform procedure till the last. And write down a memo about the malfunctioning parts. Insulation resistance may be lost in some parts.
