Warning: Only technicians who have been trained in High Voltage Awareness are permitted to perform this procedure. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and insulating HV gloves with a minimum rating of class 0 (1000V) must be worn at all times a high voltage cable, busbar, or fitting is handled. Refer to Tech Note TN-15-92-003, "High Voltage Awareness Care Points" for additional safety information.

Remove

  1. Remove the pyrotechnic battery disconnect. See Pyrotechnic Battery Disconnect (Remove and Replace).

  1. Use the Hioki resistance meter to measure the resistance between the shunt and the adjacent busbar.

Note: The maximum acceptable resistance is 0.045 mΩ (45 μΩ). If the resistance is above this value, escalate a Toolbox session, as appropriate.

  1. Connect the electrical harness to the shunt connector
  2. Install the pyrotechnic battery disconnect. See Pyrotechnic Battery Disconnect (Remove and Replace).
