Removal Procedure
- Remove the drive motor generator control
module from the vehicle. Refer to
Drive Motor Generator Control Module Assembly Replacement.
- Remove the APM ground strap bolt (1) and ground strap (2).
- Remove the temporary coolant pipe caps (1).
Caution: The module must be drained of all residual coolant prior to disassembly. Failure to properly drain all residual coolant may cause electronic circuit damage to occur during disassembly.
Important: Place a container under the coolant outlet pipe to capture the escaping coolant.
- Drain the drive motor generator control module assembly of residual coolant by applying 30 psi regulated compressed air to the coolant inlet pipe until no coolant remains.
- Remove the drive motor generator power inverter control
module (PIM) electronics cover fasteners (1).
- Remove the PIM electronics cover (2). Discard the cover seal (3).
Caution: Always remove and install the High Voltage terminal fasteners with a magnet tipped socket. Never touch the exposed electronic circuit board surface or components. Dropped fasteners or physical
contact may result in electronic circuit board damage.
- Remove the HV dc accessory DC power control module (APM) terminal fasteners (1) utilizing a magnetic socket.
- Temporarily install the PIM electronics
cover (2) with 4 finger-tightened fasteners (1).
- Rotate the drive motor generator control
module assembly onto the PIM electronics cover.
- Remove the APM to PIM mounting fasteners (1).
- Remove the APM (2) and discard the coolant seal (3).
Installation Procedure
- Install new APM coolant seal (3).
- Position the APM (2) onto the PIM ensuring the seals remain in place.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
- Install the APM mounting fasteners (1).
Tighten
Tighten the mounting fasteners to 10 N·m (89 lb in).
- Rotate the drive motor generator control
module assembly onto the APM.
- Clamp the
GE-48494
components (2, 3) to a coolant pipe.
- Plug the remaining coolant pipe with the
GE-48494
plug and clamp (1).
- Apply the specified pressure with
J 24460-01
(4).
Pressure
Apply 20 psi (138 kPa) pressure.
- Monitor the pressure tester gauge for 5 minutes and ensure that pressure remains at the specified value.
• | If the specified pressure cannot be maintained, disassemble the drive motor generator control module assembly and replace the coolant seals. |
• | If pressure remains at the specified value, proceed to the next step. |
- Remove all
GE-48494
components.
- Remove the PIM cover retaining bolts (1).
- Remove the PIM electronics cover (2).
Caution: Always remove and install the High Voltage terminal fasteners with a magnet tipped socket. Never touch the exposed electronic circuit board surface or components. Dropped fasteners or physical
contact may result in electronic circuit board damage.
- Install the HV dc APM terminal fasteners (1) utilizing a magnetic socket.
Tighten
Tighten the terminal fasteners to 9 N·m (80 lb in).
- Install a new PIM cover seal (3).
- Position the PIM cover (2) onto the PIM ensuring the seal remains in place.
- Install the PIM cover fasteners (1).
Tighten
Tighten the fasteners to 5 N·m (44 lb in).
- Install the ground strap (2)
and bolt (1).
Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 22 N·m (16 lb ft).
