Removal

•	Be sure to read and follow the “General Safety Information and Caution” before doing any work related with the high voltage system. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious electrical injuries.

•	Be sure to shut off the high voltage before doing any work related with the high voltage system(Refer to "High Voltage Shut-off Procedure"). Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious electrical injuries.

1.	Shut off the High Voltage circuit. (Refer to Hybrid Control System - “High Voltage Shutoff Procedure”)

2.	Remove the high voltage battery front cover. (Refer to High Voltage Battery System - "Case")

3.	Disconnect the cooling fan connector (A).

Remove the cooling fan (B) after loosening the mounting bolt and nuts.

cooling fan mounting nut / bolt :

7.8 - 11.8 N·m (0.8 - 1.2 kgf·m, 5.8 - 8.7 lb·ft)

Installation
