This four-part course from SAE training partner FutureTech* is most beneficial if 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 presentation will provide the technical information and background to know how these systems operate and affect vehicle operation and driveability.
At the conclusion of this series, you will be equipped to describe 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. Ford, GM, Honda, Lexus, Toyota and other popular products are featured.
By participating in this on-demand course, you'll be able to:
*SAE International is authorized by IACET to offer CEUs for this course.
The design and implementation of high voltage vehicle safety systems is a requirement for Engineers that develop vehicle electrification products. Engineers 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, will benefit.
