Operation: Disassembly and maintenance of a Toyota Hybrid battery

Let's see how to carry out maintenance on a Toyota Hybrid traction battery. We disassemble the battery pack, we will disassemble and clean all the contacts, we will disassemble cell by cell, cleaning all the channels where the fan blows the air to cool the cells. This will preserve the cells. Let's first see how to disconnect the traction battery fuse. Let's slide the handle on the orange cap of the fuse, then pull it towards us and remove it. To put it back in its place the same procedure is reversed. Essential know click of the slide, which arms the fuse. Once the battery cover has been removed, we see that it is made up of several cells, each with a voltage of 7.2 Volts and weighing approximately 1 kg. The battery looks clean, but dirt settles between the connections in the cells, where the air circulates. We see that some contacts are oxidized; we will have to clean them one by one. If they are dirty, when the external temperature is very high and the air that passes inside cannot cool the cells, the control unit does not operate the traction battery, due to the danger that it may overheat. Proper maintenance of battery cells means prolonging their life. Dirty and oxidized contacts can generate the elusive "hybrid system error" which is the nightmare of all hybrid car owners. Indeed the contacts in this way communicate wrong signals to the ECU. If, on the other hand, it is the impeller that is dirty, the blades get mixed and it no longer sends enough air to the cells, which can overheat. The voltages of each individual cell are then checked, which appear to be homogeneous, even of the central ones - which are generally the most problematic - so they are in excellent condition. They have all been blown out with compressed air. The fact that the car is clean inside also affects the traction battery, because the fan attracts the dirt from the carpets and the inside of the car onto itself, so if this is clean, the battery is also maintained. such. The dark plastic supports that are at the bottom of the battery are essential, because they serve for correct recirculation of the air pushed by the fan inside the battery itself. If they are not there, in the summer the car is blocked.
