GMTO EV training - EV 3 | Diagnosis

Information

Objective

Learn to diagnose hybrid and electric vehicles at an expert level!

Key Points

• Battery technologies
• Battery pack condition/health (State of Health)
• Charging techniques
• Charging stations and points
• Insulation faults
• Diagnostics
• Modern electric motors
• Heat pumps and high-voltage air conditioning systems

Topics

The course covers the following topics, among others:

• Practical training with numerous case studies – How do you assess the health of a battery pack? What do terms like state of health and state of charge mean?
• Communication between the charging station and the vehicle – What can we do with this for diagnostics? We’ll also cover discharging packs and restorative charging.
• Insulation faults – A common topic. How does an ECU detect an insulation fault, and how can we measure it? What can and can’t be done with a system tester in this area?
• Modern electric motors – What types are commonly found today, and what are the repair possibilities?
• Heat pump systems – Instead of an electric heater, a heat pump system is often used. How does this work, and how does it integrate with an air conditioning system?
