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 circuit according to the “High Voltage Shut-off Procedures” before doing any work related with the high voltage system to avoid serious electrical injuries.

1.	Shut off the high voltage circuit. ( Refer to Hybrid Motor System - "High Voltage Shut-off Procedure")

2.	Drain the coolant of hybrid cooling system. (Refer to Hybrid Motor Cooling System - "Coolant")

3.	Remove the air cleaner assembly. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Air Cleaner")

4.	Remove the HPCU cover (A).

5.	Remove the reservoir. (Refer to Hybrid Motor Cooling System - "Reservoir")

Separate the hose (A) and loosen the bolt (B).
