Recommended Concurrent Training: High Voltage Safety and PPE (#AODHVS010)

Short Abstract:

This course should be completed before servicing hybrid, plug-in and electric vehicles. These vehicles contain High Voltage DC and AC safety systems that are monitored by vehicle systems controllers that will maintain a safety barrier between the vehicle operator and the vehicle body/chassis to mitigate the possibility of electrical shock. This course will provide the technical information and background to know how these systems operate and effect vehicle operation and driveability.  Ford, GM, Honda, Lexus, Toyota and other popular products are featured in this course.

Course Objectives

By participating in this On Demand Course, you will be able to:

• Identify High Voltage systems by color code
• Recognize the construction and operation of Manual Disconnect systems
• Know the location of the Manual Disconnect
• Describe the operation of High Voltage Manual Disconnect systems
• Identify Interlock Safety systems used on High Voltage systems by using circuit diagrams
• Describe the operation of High Voltage Interlock systems

At the conclusion of this series, you will know the operation of vehicle High Voltage safety systems, how to test them, why they can cause a no-start condition, and how to test the system with special tools and Scan Tools to identify isolation fault areas for practical application.

Is this online training course for you?

The design and implementation of high voltage vehicle safety systems is a requirement for Technicians that work with vehicle electrification products.  This course will cover the varied safety systems found on contemporary vehicle electrification products, how these systems operate, applications on current products, failure mode effects, how the vehicle is effected, and the associated diagnostics when failure occur.  This course is applicable for any Technician with limited or some knowledge of high voltage vehicle electrification systems or those that need to update their current knowledge or just need a good refresher.
