   HINT:

   [*1]: Normal judgment procedure.

   The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / HV Battery / Utility / All Readiness.
8. Check the DTC judgment result.

   HINT:

   • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
   • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
   • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the normal judgment procedure again.

CAUTION:

• Before the following operations are conducted, take precautions to prevent electric shock by turning the power switch off, wearing insulated gloves, and removing the service plug grip from HV battery.
  • Inspecting the high-voltage system
  • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly
  • Disconnecting the low voltage connector of the HV battery
• To prevent electric shock, make sure to remove the service plug grip to cut off the high voltage circuit before servicing the vehicle.
• After removing the service plug grip from the HV battery, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high-voltage system.
• After removing the service plug grip, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching any of the high-voltage connectors or terminals. After waiting for 10 minutes, check the voltage at the terminals in the inspection point in the inverter with converter assembly. The voltage should be 0 V before beginning work.

  HINT:

  Waiting for at least 10 minutes is required to discharge the high-voltage capacitor inside the inverter with converter assembly.

  

  *a	Without waiting for 10 minutes

• 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 disposing of an HV battery, make sure to return it through an authorized collection agent who is capable of handling it safely. If the HV battery is returned via the manufacturer specified route, it will be returned properly and in a safe manner by an authorized collection agent.
