Note: This procedure describes how to remove and replace the 80A Wall Connector handle and cable assembly. For instructions on how to remove and replace the 40A Wall Connector handle and cable assembly, refer to procedure 50024002 (refer to procedure).

Removal

Warning: Only technicians who have been trained in High Voltage Awareness are permitted to perform this procedure. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and insulating HV gloves with a minimum rating of class 00 (500V) must be worn any time a high voltage cable is handled. Refer to Tech Note TN-15-92-003, "High Voltage Awareness Care Points" for additional safety information.

  1. Turn off the electricity to the Wall Connector at the circuit breaker. Warning: Electricity must be turned off at the circuit breaker before continuing this procedure. Failure to follow this requirement might result in serious injury or death due to exposure to high voltage.
  2. Remove the screws (x2) and washers (x2) that secure the cover of the Wall Connector to the casing (torque 1.1 Nm).

Caution: The ferrules on the ends of the L1 and L2 wires are one-time-use only. The ferrules or the handle and cable assembly must be replaced if they have been previously installed.
  5. Reconnect the white flex cable; reinstall the front cover of the Wall Connector.
  6. Reinstall the screws (x2) that secure the cover of the Wall Connector to the casing (torque 1.1 Nm).
  7. Turn on the electricity at the circuit breaker.
  8. Check the front diagnostic lights on the Wall Connector cover. When it is not plugged into the vehicle, the topmost green LED should be steady (not flashing).
  9. Charge the vehicle with the Wall Connector for 2-3 minutes to verify proper operation of the Wall Connector.
