  4. CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE SENSOR (BLOCK VOLTAGES) 
    WARNING:

    Be sure to wear insulated gloves.

    1. Check that the service plug grip is not installed.
      NOTE:

      After removing the service plug grip, do not turn the ignition switch to ON (READY), unless instructed by the repair information because this may cause a malfunction.

    2. Disconnect the high voltage cable connector of the HV battery from the HV battery junction block assembly.
      NOTE:

      Insulate each disconnected high-voltage connector with insulating tape. Wrap the connector from the wire harness side to the end of the connector.

    3. Disconnect the z15 battery voltage sensor connector.
    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      HINT: 

      For each output DTC, apply the judgment method in the table below and calculate the voltage value.
