Boron Extrication An in-depth look into vehicle extrication and rescues involving today's automobiles
The Honda Emergency Response Guide for the 2014 Acura RLX Hybrid Electric Vehicle provides a good amount of information for dealing with this vehicle during an extrication or vehicle accident.
During a vehicle accident, the airbag control unit makes a judgment based on input from the impact sensors, and if the input values meet
various threshold requirements, the airbag control unit sends a signal to the high-voltage battery ECU. The battery ECU then turns off the
high-voltage battery stopping the flow of electrical current from the high-voltage battery.
- BEST METHOD for HV Shutdown Push and hold the Start/Stop button for 3 seconds. To prevent accidental restarting, you must either remove the keyless remote from the vehicle and move it at least 20 feet away or cut or disconnect the 12 volt negative battery cable.
- SECOND-BEST METHOD for HV Shutdown Locate and cut the negative 12-volt battery cable and the DC to DC Converter cable.
