3 Hazard classification of high-voltage

system
3.1 Hazard classification for the high-volt‐

age system
DANGER
The vehicle’s high-voltage system and the high-voltage bat‐
tery are dangerous and can cause burns or other injuries and
even lead to a fatal electric shock.
– Any work on the high-voltage system, or on systems which
could be indirectly affected by it, must only be carried out
by properly trained and qualified expert personnel.
– In the event of queries or uncertainties regarding the terms
"high-voltage technician" or "high-voltage expert", or those
concerning the high-voltage system, the responsible im‐
porter must be contacted prior to the start of any work.
– Any repair work must be performed in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations, the state-of-the-art tech‐
nology, any relevant accident prevention regulations (in
Germany, including but not limited to the Information of
the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) 200-005 –
Qualification training for work on vehicles with high-voltage
system), as well as this workshop manual.
– Only the HVT is authorised to certify that the high-voltage

system has been de-energised.
– All work measures necessary for the vehicle may only be
carried out by a person qualified to at least the level of
electrically instructed person (EIP)
– Regardless of the work to be performed, visually inspect
high-voltage components in the work area.
– All work measures to be carried out on an ID.4 may only
be carried out by a person qualified to at least the level of
electrically instructed person (EIP).
– Regardless of the work to be performed, visually inspect
high-voltage components in the work area.
– High-voltage cables must not be overly bent or kinked.
– In the event of conspicuous findings or uncertainties, the
high-voltage technician (HVT) or the high-voltage expert
(HVE) must be consulted.
– Any work involving metal-removing, deforming and sharp-
edged tools or heat sources such as welding, soldering, hot
air, thermal bonding and infrared drying in the vicinity of
high-voltage components and cables is prohibited. In this
case the high-voltage system must be de-energised and the
respective component removed or sufficiently protected.
– All listed work refers to the removal and installation or the
renewal of the individual components.
– For regular maintenance work, the high-voltage system does
not have to be de-energised.
For reasons of safety, the following activities must not be car‐
ried out during charging:
– Activities that prolong the charging process.
3. Hazard classification of high-voltage system 5

ID.4 2021 ➤, ID.3 2020 ➤
– Activities for which the vehicle must be de-energised and

made safe in accordance with the ensuing hazard rating.
– Activities during which the vehicle is moved and electrical
wires and connectors could be placed under strain (pulled).
– Activities during which the connected charging cable could
present a danger of tripping and injury.
– Activities during which the charging cable could block work
paths and emergency exit routes.
– Activities on the 12V battery.
The following activities may be carried out with the ⇒ Vehicle
diagnostic tester during charging:
– The event memory and measured values may be read.
– The vehicle and control units may be identified.
Important
• Before work is carried out on the following components, the
system must be de-energised by a high-voltage technician
(HVT) or a high-voltage expert (HVE).

Checking cooling system for leaks
CAUTION
The cooling system may be under pressure. Risk of scalding
due to hot steam and hot coolant
Danger of scalding skin and other parts of the body
– Put on protective gloves.
– Put on safety goggles.
– Cover filler cap on expansion tank with a suitable cloth and
open carefully to release pressure.
– Open filler cap -arrow- on coolant expansion tank.
– Screw adapter - VAS 691 005/5- -1- onto coolant expansion

tank -2-.
– Connect cooling system tester -V.A.G 1274B- -3- to adapter

-1-.
– Operate hand pump of cooling system tester several times
and build up a pressure of 1.5 bar.
Important
• The pressure should not drop by more than 0.2 bar within 10
minutes.
– If the pressure drops more than 0.2 bar, locate leak and
eliminate fault.
Note
The pressure loss of 0.2 bar within 10 minutes is caused by
the decrease in coolant temperature. If the coolant temperature
ID.4 2021 ➤, ID.3 2020 ➤
corresponds to the ambient temperature, no pressure loss is

permissible.
Important
• If leaks were found and dealt with, leak test must be repea‐
ted.
Checking pressure relief valve in filler cap
Note
The shape of the filler cap for the coolant expansion tank may
vary depending on vehicle equipment/version.
– Screw filler cap -3- onto adapter for cooling system tester
-V.A.G 1274/9- -2-.
– Connect cooling system tester -V.A.G 1274B- -1- to adapter

for cooling system tester -2-.
– Operate hand pump of cooling system tester -1- several
times.
Important
• Blue filler cap: The pressure relief valve should open at a
pressure of 1.4 ... 1.6 bar.
• Black filler cap: The pressure relief valve should open at a
pressure of 1.6 ... 1.8 bar.
– Renew filler cap -3- if pressure relief valve does not open as
described.

system. If there is any air in the cooling system, the coolant
level will drop far below the permissible level in the course of
time. Overheating of the motor is also possible.
CAUTION
– Open sealing cap of coolant expansion tank -arrow-.
– Check coolant level. It must be approx. 10 mm above the

max. marking or be at the max. marking -1-. If necessary,
top up with coolant.
ID.4 2021 ➤, ID.3 2020 ➤
– Fit cooling system tester -V.A.G 1274 B- -3- with adapter

-VAS 691 005/5- -1- onto coolant expansion tank -2-.
– Build up pressure of 1.5 bar using hand pump of cooling

system tester.
– Observe coolant level in expansion tank.
If the coolant level in the coolant expansion tank has dropped
more than 20 mm, this is an indication of an air bubble in the
cooling system.
– Carry out function “Bleed cooling system” using ⇒ Vehicle
diagnostic tester ⇒ Rep. gr. 00; Access to diagnoses.
– Repeat filling quality check.
If the coolant level in the coolant expansion tank has dropped
less than 20 mm, the cooling system has been filled correctly.
