Tesla Model 3: Passthrough - DCDC - 12V- Install
Install
- Use an IPA wipe to clean the mating surfaces of the DCDC passthrough,
and the DCDC harness.
- Install the 12V DCDC passthrough into the penthouse, install the bolts
that attach the 12V DCDC passthrough to the penthouse, and then mark the
bolts with a paint pen after they are torqued.
Torque 10 Nm
- Install the bolt that attaches the DCDC ground busbar to the body, and
then mark the bolt with a paint pen after it is torqued.
Torque 20 Nm
- Install the DCDC ground busbar to the DCDC passthrough, install a new
nut to attach the DCDC ground busbar to the DCDC passthrough, and then mark
the nut with a paint pen after it is torqued.
Torque 15 Nm
- Connect the DCDC harness to the power conversion system, and then fasten
the clip that attaches the DCDC harness to the power conversion system.
Install the nut that attaches the negative terminal of the DCDC harness to
the negative DCDC passthrough busbar, and then mark the nut with a paint pen
after it is torqued.
Torque 4.5 Nm
- Install the nut that attaches the positive terminal of the DCDC harness
to the positive DCDC passthrough busbar, and then mark the nut with a paint
pen after it is torqued.
Torque 4.5 Nm
Generic Measurement - Actual busbars and fasteners might appear
different
- Use the Hioki resistance meter to measure the resistance between the
positive joint of the DCDC harness and the positive terminal of the 12V DCDC
passthrough.
Note: The maximum acceptable resistance is 0.100 mΩ (100 μΩ). If
the resistance is above this value, escalate a Toolbox session, as appropriate.
