Service Precautions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Toyota Prius. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • When working on the high voltage systems, always wear insulating gloves.
  • After removing the service plug grip, do not operate the power switch as it may damage the hybrid vehicle control ECU.
  • Keep the removed service plug in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reconnecting it while you are servicing the vehicle.
  • After removing the service plug grip, do not touch the high voltage connectors and terminals for 5 minutes.
CAUTION: For further precautions, see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS (PRIUS) under COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES in GENERAL INFORMATION.
