DIAG 2700 - Diagnosing Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

4 Credit(s) 2 credits lecture/2 credits lab

This course addresses the purpose, theory of operation, and service of the advanced hybrid electric (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV), and all electric (EV) vehicle control systems. Computer controlled systems covered during this course include the low voltage accessory system, drive motor inverter(s), high-voltage monitoring, and hybrid mode selection. In addition, the high-voltage battery, electronics, and passenger compartment heating and cooling, energy storage, and plug-in charging strategies will be discussed. Stop/Start System strategies and operation as it applies to both HEV and mild-HEV applications will be explored. Hands-on diagnosis of these vehicle systems using scan tools, the Fluke 1587 Insulation Multimeter, Fluke 88V Digital Multimeter (DMM), oscilloscopes, and other diagnostic equipment will be a significant part of this course.
