Abstract:

Traditional vehicles need maintenance and hybrid and electric vehicles also need even more maintenance care, due to the different operating modes and additional High Voltage systems.  The hybrid vehicle contains more cooling systems, an electric drive or transmission, and need special care of the High Voltage system to ensure optimal operation.  This course will focus on how to maintain the engine and High Voltage systems on hybrid vehicles and how to educate the customer and make them aware of how their vehicle needs to be maintained.  Ford, Honda, Lexus, Toyota hybrid electric vehicle products are featured in this course.

At the conclusion of this course, technicians will know which hybrid systems need special maintenance and how to perform this maintenance service.  Scan Tools and PID data will be used to identify system operation and help the technician determine what systems need additional maintenance care.
