Service Procedure
For repairs covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, completion of the procedure outlined in this TSB does not require obtaining Prior Approval or completion of a Cost Cap.
- Inspect both the upper and lower high voltage battery for evidence of internal coolant leakage. Refer to the Internal Coolant Leak Inspection procedure later in this article. Is there evidence of internal coolant leakage in either of the two separate batteries?
(1). Yes – both the upper and lower high voltage batteries must be replaced. Refer to the Battery Replacement Order Process later in this article. Repair is complete.
(2). No – proceed to Step 2.
- Use OASIS and review the warranty history. Has Field Service Action (FSA) 16B02 been completed?
(1). Yes – this article does not apply. Refer to WSM, Section 414-03A for further diagnostics.
(2). No – proceed to Step 3.
- Remove the high voltage lower battery. Refer to WSM, Section 414-03A. Inspect the 3 connectors on the left side of the high voltage lower battery for cracking. Are cracks present on any of the 3 connector bodies? (Figures 1-2)
(1). Yes – replace the upper and lower high voltage batteries. Refer to the Battery Replacement Order Process later in this article.
(2). No – proceed to Step 4.
Figure 1
Figure 2
- Apply chloroplast tape or equivalent to the connector faces to protect the terminals and keep the connector housing clean. (Figure 3)
Figure 3
- Using a brass wire brush, thoroughly clean the areas surrounding the 3 high voltage connectors to aluminum plate mating surfaces. Using compressed air, clean the loose debris from the connectors. (Figures 4-5)
Figure 4
Figure 5
- Insert a 0.076 mm (0.003 in.) feeler gauge between the aluminum plate and the top and sides of the two smaller high voltage connectors and the sides of the large high voltage connector. Does the feeler gauge fit between the aluminum plate and the connectors at one or more of the locations indicated in Figures 6-7?
(1). Yes – replace the upper and lower high voltage batteries. Refer to the Battery Replacement Order Process later in this article.
(2). No – proceed to Step 7.
Figure 6
Figure 7

Figure 9
- Remove the rubber grommet plug from the bottom of the lower high voltage battery (Figure 10). Inspect the lower high voltage battery and rubber grommet plugs for evidence of internal coolant leakage. The plugs and battery case should be dry.
Figure 10
NOTE: Inspect both the upper and lower high voltage batteries for coolant leaks. These are two separate, sealed units in the vehicle each with two rubber grommet plugs which should be checked for coolant leak. If necessary, raise one side of the vehicle to allow the coolant to flow to one side of the battery to improve the chances of detecting a coolant leak.
Battery Replacement Order Process (If Internal Coolant Leak Or Connector Damage Is Present)
- Locate and record the battery serial number on either the upper or lower high voltage battery. (Figures 11)
Figure 11
