VUE FWD L4-2.4L Hybrid (2007)
8.
WAIT at least 5 minutes in order to allow the generator control module capacitors to discharge.
Important:
Never assume the battery pack is disabled when the generator battery disconnect control module cover is opened.
9.
The generator battery will have to be checked for voltage potential using a voltmeter. First, verify that the voltmeter works.
1.
Set the voltmeter to DC voltage.
2.
Measure the vehicle's 12-volt battery voltage (at 12-volt positive jumper location and negative battery cable).
3.
The meter should read greater than +12 volts DC.
10.
Now, check the generator battery for voltage potential in order to ensure that the generator battery has been disabled.
1.
Measure from the positive (3) stud to the negative stud (2). The voltage should be less than 3 volts.
2.
Measure from the positive (3) stud to vehicle chassis ground (1). The voltage should be less than 3 volts.
3.
Measure from the negative (2) stud to vehicle chassis ground (1). The voltage should be less than 3 volts.
4.
After verifying that there is no voltage present, the vehicle is now safe to work on.
11.
Remove the 36-volt negative battery cable ground nut (1).
