•  The service plug is installed between high voltage battery module No.8 and module No.9 circuits.
•  The service plug has an interlock function.
If a worker accidentally cuts off the service plug when the main power is switched ON (READY off), the PCM cuts off the high voltage circuit by turning off the high voltage contactor.
For details on the interlock mechanism, refer to the [INTERLOCK SWITCH]. (See INTERLOCK SWITCH.)
