3. A method for controlling an electricity leakage prevention and warning system for a hybrid electric vehicle comprising the steps of:
-
(a) detecting, by a current malfunction detection terminal, a malfunction of battery cables such as a short circuit in or the removal of a battery cable from a battery;
(b) determining if a battery contact terminal switch is switched to on, which occurs as a result of an operation of the current malfunction detection terminal; and
(c) automatically cutting off a fuse of a transformer by an electric signal output by a transformer fuse automatic cut-off unit if the battery contact terminal switch switches to on, and repeating step (b) if the battery contact terminal does not switch to on; and
