Electric Drive Vehicle Training Class Description:
It is no secret that the industry has begun switching to electric drive propulsion and have already begun phasing out internal combustion engine drivetrains as options for new vehicles in some cases. NOW is the time to get your shop prepared for this change and the influx of electric drive vehicles that will begin to appear in your service bays.
While we realize you have many options when it comes to training providers for this subject matter, Our training program is quite different from anything any of our competitors have to offer. Whether the vehicle is a hybrid electric or full electric, the components that make these systems work are the same. Our approach is to instruct the attendees on how the components within these electric vehicle systems are designed to work and how to perform diagnostics on these components. The course will be taught by “Electron John” (John Forro)
Our course topics include:
Electric drive background information
Working safely on HV vehicles
Disabling and neutralizing the high voltage threat potential and electrical bonding.
How the 12-volt battery circuits interact with the HV circuitry
Powering up the HV circuits
Following the electron from the 12 battery to the HV battery to an inverter to motor generators and back to the HV battery.
Inverter and converters:
Complete disassembly of components with a detailed explanation of all the components, what they are designed to do, and most importantly how to diagnose the individual components.
How do we change AC to DC or vice versa?
What is boost?
What is an IGBT module?
Capacitors and how they work.
Motor Generators
How they work
When are they a motor and when are they a generator?
How do they create electricity and the type of electricity they create
Where do they get their voltage from
What is done with the voltage they create
How does one test these components
HV Battery Packs:
Battery and BMS construction (one will be made in class by attendees)
How are the cells arranged
What types of cells are used
What is battery balance
How do we dynamically test the battery
What are all those extra components inside the battery pack
How do we properly test the battery and all the components?
How does the charging process work and how to diagnose charging complaints?
Prolonging the life of the HV battery for your customers!
What is SOH and how do we accurately test it?
HV Tooling and their proper usage
Scan tool Diagnostics
Related PiDS and how to use them
Bi-directional testing
An exclusive quick condensed list of diagnostic PIDS
Diagnosing the BMS (battery management system)
Popular EV DTC diagnostic trouble codes and quick diagnostic tips.
EV Chargers
Why do you need one
How they work
Smart features such as ALM and DLB etc.
Wireless charging
What you need to know for installation
And More….
We strive to get your equipment to you quickly and efficiently. Please note that order processing typically takes 1-2 business days, after which we will update you with tracking information.
For larger equipment/products, please allow 2-4 business days for pick and pack preparation. Once shipped, you will receive tracking information to stay up-to-date on the status of your order.
Small items (eg. Tablets & tools) | 3-5 business days
Large items (eg. Calibration Targets and Plates) | 5-8 business days
Full calibration packages | 8-10 business days
We want to ensure you're completely satisfied with your purchase. If you need to return an item, please contact our customer service team within 30 days of purchase. A 15% restocking fee will apply to all returns. The customer is responsible for return shipping costs. Refunds will be processed once the returned items are received and inspected at the warehouse.
All package sales are final due to the complexity of shipping the equipment. The total purchase price should be paid in full before shipment. When items are passed to the shipping carrier they are responsible for delivery. The equipment is covered solely by the manufacturer's warranty. The Buyer should inspect the equipment upon receipt and notify the Seller of any discrepancies as soon as possible. Let's get calibrating!
