SERVICE BULLETIN SB2126 ADDRESSEES : Owners and operators VEHICLE MODELS : Vehicles with Siemens voltage inverters/inductors MANUAL CHAPTER : 02.02 Traction system - Control system BULLETIN TYPE : Service information DATE : March 15th, 2022 SUBJECT : Additional information related to fixing screws of top cover on Siemens voltage inverter/inductor CONDITIONS : This service bulletin does not entitle to any reimbursement. DESCRIPTION: The traction system of your vehicle includes voltage inverters (INV), voltage inverters with built-in overvoltage protection (iVPM) or inductors (IND) from Siemens. This service bulletin gives you step-by-step instructions on how to properly remove/install the top cover fixing screws giving access to the high-voltage terminals.

SB2126_USA_en_2022-03-15 Page 1 of 3 JOB QUALIFICATION: The task has to be carried out by an experienced automotive technician, trained in the operations at hand. PREPARATION: Park the vehicle on a level floor. Apply the parking brake. Switch off the traction system. Switch off all systems and turn off the battery isolation switch on the dashboard. Put a "DO NOT START" warning message on the instrument panel before starting the checks or repairs. Put chocks in front of and behind the drive axle wheels. Read the entire procedure before starting the operations. WARNING! Observe safe shop practices at all times. The voltage inverters, voltage inverters with built-in overvoltage protection and inductors are high-voltage components! Before opening such a component, the high-voltage circuit has to be de-energised (Follow the instructions under "To deenergise traction system" in chapter 2.1 of the maintenance manual). POINTS OF ATTENTION DURING REMOVAL OF FIXING SCREWS: Slacken the screws with a maximum tightening torque of 4,5 Nm (35 in.lbf). To this end, use a torque wrench according to ISO 6789. In the event that it is not possible to slacken the screws with the prescribed torque wrench, use other tools/techniques (for example a battery-operated impulse wrench, or letting rust remover work overnight). POINTS OF ATTENTION DURING INSTALLATION OF FIXING SCREWS: Tighten all ten M5 cover fixing screws first to a torque of approximately 2,5 Nm (22 in.lbf) in the sequence shown in figure 2. Then finally tighten the screws to 3,7 Nm (32.7 in.lbf) in the order shown in figure 4. To this end, use a torque wrench according to ISO 6789. If the component is exposed to spray water or sea air, use “Teroson WX 210” to seal the gaps between the screw heads and the holes. Do the same for the gap around the closing edge between the top cover and the housing. Figure 4 Continued on next page.
