1.	Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the auxiliary 12V battery negative (-) cable.

Remove the safety plug.

(1)	Open the safety plug service cover (A).

(2)	Pull out/down the lever (A) in the direction of the arrow after lifting the locking hook (B), and then pull the safety plug.

Measure the voltage between the inverter positive and negative power cable terminals.

Below 30V : High voltage circuit properly shut

More than 30V : High voltage circuit faulty

If the measured voltage is more than 30V, check the removal of the safety plug again.

If it is above 30V even though the safety plug is properly removed, there must be any serious problem in high voltage circuit. In this case, do the DTC troubleshooting first (Refer to DTC Guide); don''t do any work related to the high voltage system.
