Danger: Before working on any high voltage system, be sure to wear the following Personal Protection Equipment:
• | Safety glasses with appropriate side shields when within 50 feet of the vehicle, either indoors or outdoors |
• | Certified and up-to-date Class "0" Insulation gloves rated at 1000V with leather protectors |
- | Visually and functionally inspect the gloves before use. |
- | Wear the Insulation gloves at all times when working with the high voltage battery assembly, whether the system is energized or not. |
Failure to follow the procedure exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.
Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution in the Preface section.
The following procedure measures the voltage at a selected point in a circuit.
- Disconnect the electrical harness connector for the circuit being tested, if necessary.
- Enable the circuit and/or system being tested. Use the following methods:
• | Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. |
• | Turn ON the circuit and/or system with a scan tool in Output Controls. |
• | Turn ON the switch for the circuit and/or system being tested. |
- Select the V (AC) or V (DC) position on the DMM.
- Connect the negative lead of the DMM to a good ground.
- Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the point of the circuit to be tested.
- The DMM displays the voltage measured at that point.
