T-SB-0027-14 Rev1 April 16, 2014 Maintenance for HV & Auxiliary Batteries Service Category General Section Pre-Delivery Service USA Market Applicability YEAR(S) MODEL(S) 2015 – 2016 Avalon HV, Camry HV, Highlander HV 2016 RAV4 HV ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REVISION NOTICE August 31, 2015 Rev1: • Applicability has been updated to include 2016 model year Avalon HV, Camry HV, RAV4 HV, and Highlander HV vehicles. Any previous printed versions of this bulletin should be discarded. Introduction Hybrid vehicles are equipped with 2 types of batteries: • Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery • 12-volt auxiliary battery If the hybrid vehicle is put into storage, the state of charge (SOC) of its HV battery and auxiliary battery will gradually decrease. To prevent the auxiliary battery from becoming discharged during storage, proper maintenance is necessary. Please perform the following maintenance service for the HV battery and 12-volt auxiliary battery. NOTE • Before disconnecting the auxiliary battery, confirm the shift lever is in the “P” position and apply the parking brake completely. The shift lever CANNOT be shifted from the “P” position with the 12-volt auxiliary battery disconnected. • If the negative (–) terminal of the auxiliary battery is reconnected, even if the power button is in the “START” mode, the hybrid system may NOT start. In this case, push the “POWER” button and select the “START” mode again to start the hybrid system (the “READY” light is ON). If the hybrid system still does NOT start (the “READY” light is OFF), refer to the Repair Manual. © 2015 Toyota Motor Sales, USA Page 1 of 5 Rev1 T-SB-0027-14 April 16, 2014 Page 2 of 5 Maintenance for HV & Auxiliary Batteries Warranty Information OP CODE DESCRIPTION TIME OFP T1 T2 N/A Not Applicable to Warranty – – – – Maintenance Items CONDITION* MAINTENANCE OPERATION Before Delivery Fully charge 12-volt auxiliary battery (deliver the vehicle to the customer after it is fully charged 12.6 V or more). To Store for 30 Days or More Disconnect the negative (–) terminal of the 12-volt auxiliary battery in the luggage compartment to prevent the SOC of the auxiliary battery from decreasing during storage due to parasitic current. Just After Unloading & Every 2 Months Keep the Hybrid System ON for 30 minutes with the transmission in the “P” position (in order to charge the HV battery and the auxiliary battery). * The condition also corresponds with the section titles within this bulletin. Required Tools & Equipment SPECIAL SERVICE TOOLS (SST) PART NUMBER QTY GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station** 00002-MCGR8 1 ** Essential SST. NOTE • The GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station (P/N 00002-MCGR8) supersedes the Automatic Trickle Charger (P/N 00002-YA122-01) and Fast Battery Chargers (Associated P/N ASE6003 and Christie P/N CAPPDQ). P/N 00002-YA122-01, ASE6003, and CAPPDQ are now obsolete. • Additional SSTs may be ordered by calling 1-800-933-8335. © 2015 Toyota Motor Sales, USA T-SB-0027-14 Rev1 April 16, 2014 Page 3 of 5 Maintenance for HV & Auxiliary Batteries Before Delivery Fully charge the 12-volt auxiliary battery: 1. Before charging the auxiliary battery, turn OFF all lights, accessories, and the hybrid system. 2. Check the battery SOC. • If the battery voltage is LESS THAN 12.6 V, then continue to step 3. • If the battery voltage is 12.6 V or MORE, replace the positive (+) terminal cover, install battery cover and close the back door. NOTE • If measuring the voltage with the negative (–) terminal connected, turn OFF the power switch and turn ON the headlights for 20 to 30 seconds. This will remove the surface charge from the battery. • If the engine has been running before measuring the voltage, wait 20 minutes or more after the engine stops. This removes the surface charge. 3. Test the 12-volt auxiliary battery using the Diagnostic Charge Mode on the GR8 Battery. Figure 1. GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station. 1 • If the battery tests good, the GR8 will prepare to charge the battery . • If the battery tests bad (“Replace Battery”), then replace the auxiliary battery. CAUTION • Charge in a well-ventilated area. • Do NOT allow sparks or fire near the auxiliary battery. 1 P/N 00002-MCGR8 NOTE If the auxiliary battery was stored at 32◦F (0◦C) or below, charge the auxiliary battery in a room above 32◦F (0◦C). If the GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station is NOT available, you may charge the 12-volt battery by cycling the vehicle on to “READY.” • Run time will vary depending on the state of charge. • If this method is used, you must confirm that the battery is charged to 12.8 volts using a DVOM. © 2015 Toyota Motor Sales, USA T-SB-0027-14 Rev1 April 16, 2014 Page 4 of 5 Maintenance for HV & Auxiliary Batteries To Store for 30 Days or More Disconnect the negative (–) terminal: 1. Turn OFF all lights, accessories, and the hybrid system. 2. Disconnect the negative (–) terminal. NOTE When it is necessary to move the vehicle, reconnect the negative (–) terminal. When removing the vehicle from storage, connect the negative (–) terminal: 1. Connect the negative (–) terminal. Figure 2.. Torque: 6.5 N*m (66 kgf*cm, 58 in*lbf) NOTE 1 After recharging the auxiliary battery, the hybrid system may NOT start. Follow the procedure below to initialize the system. • Put the shift lever in the “P” position. • Open and close any of the doors. • Restart the hybrid system. 1 © 2015 Toyota Motor Sales, USA Negative (–) Terminal T-SB-0027-14 Rev1 April 16, 2014 Page 5 of 5 Maintenance for HV & Auxiliary Batteries Every Two Months Cycle vehicle to “READY” ON: NOTE • When the remaining capacity of the HV battery is low, the gasoline engine automatically starts and the HV battery is charged by the generator. The 12-volt auxiliary battery is also charged by the HV battery regardless of the gasoline engine operation. • Be sure to reconnect the negative (–) terminal of the auxiliary battery BEFORE performing this procedure. 1. Park the vehicle in open air or connect the exhaust extraction hose to the exhaust pipe. 2. Apply the parking brake. 3. With the brake pedal depressed, push the “POWER” button and select the “START” mode and check that the “READY” light in the meter illuminates when the hybrid system starts (the “READY” light is ON). Figure 3.. 4. Turn OFF all lights and accessories. 5. Check that the shift lever is in the “P” position. 6. Keep the “READY” light on and charge the HV battery for 30 minutes. NOTE • If the amount of charging energy is small, the display may NOT indicate the energy flow. • Ensure there is a sufficient amount of fuel for the vehicle to run for 30 minutes. © 2015 Toyota Motor Sales, USA
