(C) 2023 STELLANTIS Group. All Rights Reserved (djt) 3/19 SERVICE PROCEDURE This procedure must be performed by a PHEV trained technician. WARNING: When performing any repairs that involve contact with high voltage components or systems, the technician performing repairs on the vehicle must verify that the system remains powered down during high voltage repairs. Strictly adhere to the following procedures: • To ensure that the vehicle is properly powered down, remove the service disconnect. • The technician must always know the location of the service disconnect throughout the repair. • The technician must ensure that no one reconnects the service disconnect while service is being performed. • Any time the vehicle is unattended, prior to continuing with repair work, the technician must recheck that the service disconnect has not been reinstalled. NOTE: Because the high-voltage battery is used to charge the 12-volt battery via the Auxiliary Power Module (APM), disconnecting the 12-volt battery negative cable will not power down the 12-volt system. The following 12-Volt Power Down procedure MUST be performed before any repairs, disassembly, or testing down are carried out. NOTE: Even though the high-voltage battery manual service disconnect is removed during the 12-Volt Power Down procedure, the 12-Volt Power Down procedure will NOT safely and reliably power down the high-voltage system. If any high-voltage components are to be accessed, disconnected or tested, the High-Voltage Power Down procedure must first be carried out. NOTE: The following B0A service procedure requires power down of the 12-volt system only. However, if any high-voltage components not related to the following B0A service procedure are to be accessed, disconnected or tested, the High-Voltage Power Down procedure must first be carried out.
