1. Turn the A/C switch on.
   

2. Operate the A/C with the setting temperature at 25°C (77°F) and the blower level at LO for 10 minutes to circulate the refrigerant and collect compressor oil remaining in each component into the cooler compressor as much as possible.
   

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
   

4. Using SST, let the refrigerant gas out.
   

   SST

   07110-58060   (07117-58080, 07117-58090, 07117-78050, 07117-88060, 07117-88070, 07117-88080)
   

CAUTION:

1. Remove the service plug to interrupt a high voltage circuit at the time of the check.
   
2. Keep the removed service plug in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reconnecting it while you are servicing the vehicle.
   
3. All the high voltage wiring connectors are colored in orange.
   

1. Remove the 2 clips, then open the battery service hole cover.
   

2. Wear insulation glove, and remove the service plug grip, after sliding up the lever of the service plug grip.
   

   CAUTION:

   1. Keep the removed service plug in your pocket to prevent other technicians from reconnecting it while you are servicing the vehicle.
      
   2. After removing the service plug grip, do not touch the high voltage connectors and terminals for 5 minutes.
      

   NOTICE:

   After removing the service plug grip, do not operate the ignition switch as it may damage the hybrid vehicle control ECU.

1. Remove the 2 bolts and inverter reserve tank sub-assembly.
   

1. Remove the bolt, and disconnect the power steering ECU bracket.
   

1. Remove the bolt and interlock bracket.
   

2. Insulate the removed terminal with insulating tape.
   

   NOTICE:

   Make sure that the terminal does not stick out from the insulating tape.

3. Remove the 12 bolts and inverter cover.
   

CAUTION:

Wear insulating gloves.

NOTICE:

1. Make sure that the inverter converter is temporarily installed before working on the converter inverter assembly. (Click here)
   
2. Do not allow any foreign objects or waterdrops to enter the w/ converter inverter assembly.
   

1. Using the voltmeter, measure the voltage between the terminals of the 2 phase connectors (N-P).
   

   Standard voltage:

   0 V
   

   HINT:

   Use measuring range of DC 750 V or more on the voltmeter.

1. Temporarily install the inverter cover with the 2 bolts to prevent any foreign objects or waterdrops from entering the w/ converter inverter assembly.
   

1. Remove the bolt and battery clamp.
   

2. Remove the battery and battery tray.
   

1. Remove the 5 bolts and battery carrier.
   

1. Remove the bolt and disconnect the cooler refrigerant discharge hose No.1 from the electric inverter compressor.
   

2. Remove the O-ring from the cooler refrigerant discharge hose No.1.
   

   NOTICE:

   Seal the openings of the disconnected parts using vinyl tape to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.

1. Remove the bolt and disconnect the cooler refrigerant suction hose No.1 from the electric inverter compressor.
   

2. Remove the O-ring from the cooler refrigerant suction hose No.1.
   

1. Remove the bolt and disconnect the cooler refrigerant suction hose No.1 from the electric inverter compressor.
   

2. Remove the O-ring from the cooler refrigerant suction hose No.1.
   

1. Disconnect the connector (A).
   

2. Release the green-colored lock (B).
   

   CAUTION:
