Introduction

The VW ID.4 High-Voltage System

The high-voltage system in the Volkswagen ID.4 is completely redesigned to integrate seamlessly with the MEB platform architecture.
The battery is a part of the vehicle chassis, mounted low in the vehicle to provide a lower center of gravity.
The ID.4 will initially be offered with an 82 kWh (gross) battery and a rear-mounted motor with 201 horsepower and 228 pound-feet of torque.
Prior to launch, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated 250 miles of range on VW ID.4 1st Edition and VW ID.4 Pro 82 kWh rear-wheel-drive models on a single battery charge.
An all-wheel-drive version with 302 hp will follow later in 2021.
At market introduction the Volkswagen ID.4 will be equipped with a 82 kWh battery. A 62 kWh variant will be available later.
The 82 kWh battery has 288 cells in 12 modules. It is housed in a lightweight aluminum structure that is bolted to the body of the VW ID.4, helping to improve rigidity.
The VW ID.4 can be charged with both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) fast-charging capability.
The onboard charger allows the ID.4 to charge the battery up to 33 miles in about one hour, and charges to full in around seven and a half hours at a home or public Level 2 charger.
At a DC fast-charging station, with 125 kW charging, the VW ID.4 can go from five to 80 percent charged in about 38 minutes.

The VW ID.4 Wiring and Connector Concept

Wiring Concept

A new high-voltage wiring concept is being use in Modular Electric Drive Matrix (MEB) vehicles.
Thanks to the revised electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), shielded cables are not necessary.
The EMC filters are adapted to the individual requirements of the different high-voltage components.
They can be made of capacitors, restrictors or more complex circuitry.

Key
A19 Voltage Converter
AX2 High-Voltage Battery 1
AX4 High-Voltage Battery Charger 1
JX1 Electric Drive Power and Control Electronics
UX4 High-Voltage Battery Charging Socket 1
VX54 Three-Phase Current Drive
VX81 A/C Compressor
Z132 Heating Element (PTC) 3
ZX17 High-Voltage Heater (PTC)


Wiring Junctions

The components do not require power distribution panels. They are replaced by wiring junctions in the high-voltage wiring harnesses.
The wiring junctions in the rear area connect AX4 High-Voltage Battery Charger 1 to AX2 High-Voltage Battery 1 and the high-voltage components in the front of the vehicle.
The wiring junction in the front of the vehicle connects the Z132 Heating Element (PTC) 3, the VX81 A/C Compressor, the A19 Voltage Converter and the ZX17
High-Voltage Heater (PTC) to the components in the rear of the vehicle.
The small connectors in the high-voltage circuit are glued during production and cannot be separated.

Connector Concept

The connectors of high-voltage components are required to protect against foreign objects touching the contacts that carry life-threatening voltage.
This is known as Ingress Protection (IP).

The connectors on MEB vehicles have been designed with a higher ingress protection standard to ensure a greater degree of protection against penetration of a solid object (such as a finger).
Because of this new connector concept with heightened touch protection, there is no longer need for a “pilot line” between all components in the high-voltage system.

The electrical connectors are a new component
developed for advanced accidental contact protection.

All HV wires in the Volkswagen ID.4 are connected mechanically.
No screw connections on the wires are used.

To ensure that the contacts still have the necessary
cross-sections, the connectors are wide.

Thermal Management

Battery
All high-voltage batteries in the VW ID.4 have an active thermal management system. The aluminium heat sink is located outside of the battery housing.
This prevents contact between coolant and the high-voltage components inside of the battery housing.
The high-voltage battery modules are connected to the base of the battery housing by a thermally conductive paste.
The aluminium heat sink is also connected to the housing base with a thermally conductive paste.
The solid aluminum underbody guard protects the heat sink from mechanical damage.

Battery

The coolant temperature sensors are connected directly to the J840 Battery Regulation Control Module.
The control unit uses the sensor information to regulate the V590 High-Voltage Battery Coolant Pump.

The battery cooling not only occurs when the vehicle is moving, but can also be activated during charging. This significantly reduces battery temperature
increases, especially when using DC charging. This allows for a faster charging rate, even for repeated charging processes.

The high-voltage battery can be both actively cooled and heated. This happens depending on the internal battery temperature.
• < 46°F: heating by the Z132 Heating Element (PTC) 3
• > 95°F (in vehicle operation): cooling by the heat exchanger for heat condenser
• > 86°C (during charging): cooling by the heat exchanger for heat condenser

It can also be integrated into the low-temperature cooling circuit.
Different operating states are shown on the following pages.

The Coolant Circuit without a Heat Pump

At a temperature of 59°F (15°C) or higher the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to flow to the radiator.
The mixing valve can be used to integrate the battery into the low-temperature circuit, or to maintain the correct temperature in a separate circuit with the Z132 Heating Element (PTC) 3.

The J840 Battery Regulation Control Module controls thermal management of the high-voltage battery.
In the version without a heat pump, it regulates the V683 Mixing Valve for High-Voltage Battery Warming and the V590 High-Voltage Battery Coolant Pump.

The V468 Low Temperature Circuit Coolant Pump is always activated by the J623 Engine Control Module.

Other ambient conditions, customer requirements and component temperatures may require other operating modes.

Cooling and Heating Strategies for Vehicles with a Heat Pump (not for US Vehicles)

Radiator flow - Battery is not cooled or heated
Prerequisites:
• Temperature at the thermostat > 59°F (15°C)
• Battery temperature 47°F (8°C) to 86°F (30°C)
• Demand by the heat pump

The thermostat closes the radiator bypass, then the V696 Mixing Valve 2 for High-Voltage Battery Warming opens the connection to the battery.
The V683 Mixing Valve for High-Voltage Battery Warming activates the battery heating circuit. Only the V468 Low Temperature Circuit Coolant Pump is activated.

The versions shown here do not show all possible operating modes.

High-voltage Safety Concept

Safety Measures
The high-voltage safety concept was modified for the Volkswagen ID.4. Some of these are carryover from the previous high-voltage concept.

Safety measure overview:
• Color coding of the high-voltage wiring and connectors
• Safety markings on all high-voltage components
• Accidental contact protection
• Emergency cut-out connections: Maintenance connector for high-voltage system Fuse on the A-pillar with a small “flag”
• Pilot line
• Insulation resistance monitoring
• Electrical isolation between high-voltage system and body (terminal 31)
• Active discharging
• Passive discharging
• Crash shutdown
• Monitoring of the high-voltage relays
• Short-circuit test
• Short-circuit shutdown
• Detection of open circuits in high-voltage wires

Marking

Color coding of the wiring and connectors
All high-voltage connectors and wiring are orange to make identification easier.

Safety markings on all high-voltage components

All high-voltage components are marked with warning stickers.
There is an additional high-voltage warning on the lock carrier in the engine compartment with a yellow background.
These warning stickers are relevant for the vehicle safety inspection.

Accidental Contact Protection

All high-voltage connectors are equipped with improved accidental contact protection (IPXXB+, touch-proof). A smaller test finger is used.

High-voltage potentials inside of the components are sealed off by a cover with coded screws and cannot be opened during service work.

Accidental contact protection has also been used inside the high-voltage battery.

The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) filters are adapted to the individual requirements of the different high-voltage components.
They can be made of capacitors, restrictors or more complex circuitry.

Shielding of the high-voltage wires is not required.
The EMC measures are implemented in the high-voltage components by the EMC filter.


Emergency Cut-out Connections

The emergency cut-out connections are the TW Maintenance Connector for High-Voltage System in the left side of the engine compartment,
and the SC28 Fuse 28 (on Fuse Panel C) on the left A-pillar.

The TW Maintenance Connector for High-Voltage System
disconnects terminal 30 A and pilot line.

The fuse SC28 has a small “flag” on it. When removed, terminal 30 A is disconnected.
The small “flag” is attached to allow quick removal without tools.
The small “flag” can be replaced separately and the fuse is commercially available.

Terminal 30 A (previously terminal 30 C) in the VW ID.4 supplies both the voltage for the high-voltage relay in AX2 High-Voltage Battery 1
and the supply voltage for the A19 Voltage Converter.
There is also a Bowden cable located in the trunk to release the charge plug if there is a problem.


Pilot Line and Insulation Resistance Monitoring

Pilot Line
The pilot line is now only routed to the TW Maintenance Connector.
It was removed from other areas because all high-voltage connectors have improved accidental contact protection.
It is monitored by the J840 Battery Regulation Control Module.

A19 – Voltage Converter
AX2 – High-Voltage Battery 1
B298 – Positive Connection 2 (30) (in Main Wiring Harness)
J840 – Battery Regulation Control Module
SC28 – Fuse 28 (on Fuse Panel C)
TW – High-Voltage System Maintenance Connector
T32j – 32-pin Connector, Onboard Supply Connection, on AX2 High-Voltage Battery 1


Insulation Resistance Monitoring

The insulation monitoring checks the electrical isolation of the high-voltage potentials to the chassis.
When the value falls below a threshold of 510 kOhm, a yellow warning lamp illuminates on the instrument cluster.
A red lamp appears when the value falls below 90 kOhm. DC charging is either deactivated or prevented.

The insulation resistance monitoring is initiated by the J623 Engine Control Module and performed by the J840.
Among other things, it is part of highvoltage system activation, which is monitored by the high-voltage coordinator.
Its function and circuitry is similar to the insulation resistance monitoring in the e-Golf.


Active and Passive Discharging

Active Discharging
If there is an emergency shutdown of the high-voltage system, such as if a crash or the TW Maintenance Connector is removed, the high-voltage system is discharged within five seconds.
Active discharging is performed in the JX1 Electric Drive Power and Control Electronics.

Passive Discharging
High-voltage components have capacitors in their circuitry.
Passive discharge guarantees that the voltage falls to < 60 V within two minutes of disconnecting the components from the high-voltage battery.


Crash Shutdown

Following an accident that may damage components in the high-voltage system, the high-voltage system is shut down and actively discharged.

Because a number of high-voltage components in the Volkswagen ID.4 are installed very close to the outer body shell, severe and minor accidents are treated the same.
This means that in case of an accident, the high-voltage potential is immediately disconnected (by pyrotechnic means). This can be repaired in the workshop.

The pyrotechnic disconnection is performed by the S415 Fuse for High-Voltage Battery Interruption in the switching unit for SX7 High-Voltage Battery Control Module, Negative Terminal.

Monitoring of the High-Voltage Relays and Short-Circuit Test

Monitoring of the High-Voltage Relays
• Each high-voltage relay has a voltage tap before and after the relay
• If an unintended condition is identified to be affecting one of the high-voltage relays, the high-voltage system is deactivated until the defect is eliminated
• A lamp is illuminated in the instrument cluster

Short-circuit Test
• When C25 Intermediate Circuit Capacitor 1 is being pre-charged, a current measurement is performed

Short-circuit Shutdown
• If a short circuit occurs during pre-charging, it is isolated and the high-voltage system is not activated
• If a short circuit is detected when the high-voltage system is already activated, the high-voltage system is turned off
• A lamp is illuminated in the instrument cluster

Driving Mode Selection

Overview
The VW ID.4 features multiple driving mode selections:
• ECO - The maximum speed is 130 km/h and the power output and A/C is reduced by approximately 30%
• Convenience - On average, all systems are balanced
• Sport - All systems are tuned for sporty characteristics
• Individual - All systems can be configured individually

Low Voltage Modes
The vehicle does not switch into ECO mode when the high-voltage battery is discharged.
Instead, a yellow turtle is displayed in the dash panel insert and the power output is reduced.

Yellow turtle (reserve mode):
• A yellow turtle lamp appears in the ID display and an acoustic warning sounds.
• Power output is reduced significantly, and may continue to be reduced.
• The convenience functions of the A/C are reduced to extend the range

Red turtle (absolute reserve mode):
• After starting, the temperature or charge level of the high-voltage battery is too low.
Only movement up to 7 km/h is possible.
An emergency start of the vehicle can still be performed twice to allow movement over a short distance.
The vehicle key must be in the center console compartment for an emergency start.
When the charge level increases again, the warning lamp goes out.

During vehicle operation:
• If the charge level of the high-voltage battery is too low during operation, the vehicle may stop operating.
Park the vehicle safely or drive to the next charging station if possible.
When the charge level increases again, the warning lamp goes out.
