Ford Escape: High Voltage Battery, Mounting and Cables / General Procedures - High Voltage Battery Charging - Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
Charging
WARNING:
To prevent the risk of high-voltage shock, always follow
precisely all warnings and service instructions, including instructions
to depower the system. The high-voltage system utilizes approximately
450 volts DC, provided through high-voltage cables to its components and
modules. The high-voltage cables and wiring are identified by orange
harness tape or orange wire covering. All high-voltage components are
marked with high-voltage warning labels with a high-voltage symbol.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal
injury or death.
NOTICE:
Follow the detailed instructions included with the Ford approved high voltage battery charger.
NOTE:
Check OASIS for any applicable service information before beginning the charging process.
NOTE:
High voltage battery packs are typically discharged from an
internal combustion engine crank no start symptom or long-term vehicle
storage procedures were not followed.
NOTE:
The high voltage rescue charger will NOT charge the high voltage battery if the following BECM
PID are not within the specified range.
-
HEV_BAT_VAR_V PID is less than 2.5V
-
HEVBAT_MIN_V PID is greater than 1.45V
-
HVBAT_V PID is between 90V and 165V
-
H_BATT_TEMP PID is between 0°C and 40°C
-
Depower the high voltage system.
Refer to: High Voltage System De-energizing (414-03A High Voltage Battery, Mounting and Cables, General Procedures).
-
Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
Refer to: Jacking and Lifting - Overview (100-02 Jacking and Lifting, Description and Operation).
-
If equipped, remove the underbody shields to expose the high voltage battery.
Refer to: High Voltage Battery - Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) (414-03A
High Voltage Battery, Mounting and Cables, Removal and Installation).
-
Connect high voltage battery charger into an appropriate
wall outlet and turn on the high voltage battery rescue charger.
-
NOTE:
The high voltage battery rescue charger connects
directly to the low voltage connector C3733 and high voltage connector
C4236D located on the high voltage battery.
Select the appropriate user Log-in and follow On-Screen
prompts to identify vehicle, make cable connections and rescue charge
the high voltage battery.
-
NOTE:
The high voltage battery charger displays the results when charging is completed.
Follow On-Screen prompts to disconnect rescue charger cables and reconnect vehicle harness connections.
-
Turn off the high voltage battery rescue charger and
disconnect the high voltage battery rescue charger from the wall outlet.
-
If equipped, install the vehicle underbody shields.
-
Repower the high voltage system.
Refer to: High Voltage System De-energizing (414-03A High Voltage Battery, Mounting and Cables, General Procedures).
