Diagnosis Guide for Each Condition of Accident Vehicle

Kia EV6. Diagnosis Guide for Each Condition of Accident Vehicle   

• The Electric Vehicle comes equipped with a high voltage battery that can cause serious injury, like electric shocks, or even death when malfunctioning or mishandled, so follow manual below.

• This guide is intended to provide tips for inspecting the high-voltage battery health in relation to vehicle damage situation.

High Voltage Battery Inspection

The checklist to Identify high voltage battery health

Normal Need to Check Warning Danger
Vehicles transported Itself Itself Itself or Towed Towed or Rollover
Communication CAN communication available CAN communication available CAN communication available CAN communication not available
Warning light OFF OFF ON ON
Lower case damaged No damage Scratch Dent or Crack Dent or Crack
Electrolyte leakage No leakage No leakage No leakage Leakage
High voltage battery coolant leakage No leakage No leakage Laekage Laekage
Noise inside high voltage battery No noise No noise No noise Noise(Tic-Tic)
Temperature of the high voltage battery(module/cell) Normal Normal Normal - Sensor Data (Cell) ≥ 60°C (140°F)
- Temperature difference between modules(If CAN comm. is not possible, use an infrared thermometer to check the surface temperature of High voltage battery)

Appropriate actions for each high voltage battery health condition

Status Description
Normal
All functions of high voltage battery are normal and no additional measures are necessary. Communication for data verification is available in this state.
Need to Check
Scratches on high voltage battery lower case (protective cover) does not affect the battery cooling system.
If the battery sensor data (Isolation Resistance, DTC, Module Voltage, etc.) are normal, the replacement of a case is not necessary.
If any issues are detected through the KDS, affected components need to be replaced.
Battery pack air tightness test and cooling system air tightness test need to be performed.
Warning
Refer to the below procedure to check the high voltage battery condition.

※ If any damage in the lower case is identified, replace the lower case ASSY. However, Inner parts such as Cell Monitoring Unit (CMU), Battery Management Unit (BMU) and modules should be re-used.
Danger
Store the vehicle in a separate space to ensure safety.
Avoid storing it indoors.
Ask professional guidance to a fire department or local high voltage battery remanufacturing company to secure workshop safety.
