1. INTRODUCTION The Outlander PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) is a vehicle equipped with a high voltage main drive lithium-ion battery. The battery provides high voltage electricity to power the two electric drive motors. The vehicle also has a gasoline powered engine/generator which recharges the battery and assists the drive motors under certain conditions.
2. HOW TO IDENTIFY OUTLANDER PHEV 1) Unique features of the Outlander PHEV compared to the gasoline engine Outlander. - PHEV logo marks - Charging lid and portal - Lithium-ion main drive battery (maximum voltage is 336V) - 60 kW twin electric drive motors...
The chassis number is stamped on the passenger side cowl top panel inside the engine compartment. panel). When the fifth position (car line) is "2" on the plate, it means "Outlander PHEV". ② Vehicle information code plate, on the passenger’s door sill.
Information on the 12V Auxiliary Battery (located in rear cargo area, page 11) The 12V auxiliary battery of the Outlander PHEV is located in the left rear of the vehicle. It provides power to multiple ECUs (Electronic control units) in the vehicle and operates all the 12V vehicle accessories. The multiple ECUs that are powered by the 12V battery include the ECUs that operate the High Voltage electric drive components.
4. HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS LAYOUT High voltage (maximum 336V) components and wiring cables are located as shown in the figure below. Service plug High-voltage components The high-voltage components are described below. Also, wiring harness and connectors of high-voltage circuit are (orange in color.) •...
5. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (REFERENCE ONLY) Use personal protective equipment that complies with applicable state and local requirements. This equipment should include the following: • When you are in contact with exposed live wiring of a damaged vehicle • To prevent the risk of electric shock •...
(national legal requirements) proper safety procedure outlined in this guide and use personal protective equipment. 2. Two types of batteries are used on the Outlander PHEV, a normal 12V lead battery (auxiliary battery) and a special 336V (maximum) high-voltage lithium-ion battery (Main drive battery).
Batteries not collected properly pose a safety risk that can result in serious injury or death. If the Outlander PHEV main drive battery is used or modified for use on any vehicle other than the Outlander PHEV, an accident such as electric shock, heat, smoke,...
(including modification) of the Outlander PHEV main drive battery. 2. The Outlander PHEV main drive battery is a Lithium-ion battery, handle with care so as not to damage the battery while removing it. If the drive battery is severely damaged, even after the high voltage circuit has been shut off, there is still a risk of electrical shock and/or fire.
8. INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR MAIN DRIVE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY 1. If any abnormality, damage or defect is found after inspection, replace the main drive battery. 1) Check if there are diagnostic trouble codes stored. 2) Check if the battery tray and frame is cracked or damaged. 3) MEASURE THE DISTANCES ON THE SHEETMETAL TRAY (DRIVE BATTERY).
