This three-day, hands-on workshop delves deep into hybrid and EV powertrain component operation, the function of those components as a system, and the interpretation of diagnostic data that will help you diagnose issues. For hybrids, we will focus on the Toyota hybrid system; for EVs, the focus is on Tesla vehicles.

Students will become familiar with the basics of hybrid and EV powertrains — component functions, system operation and co-operation, proper maintenance — and build a body of knowledge that will prepare them to learn how to successfully diagnose and repair hybrid and electric vehicles.

Learning objectives include:

• Understanding and identifying modes of operation from scan data
• Battery pack and battery pack component diagnosis
• Battery precharge system charge and discharge strategies
• How the inverter and boost converter control motor-generators
• Toyota brake-by wire systems and fail-safe modes
• Series-parallel hybrid transaxle operation
• Diagnosing hybrid engine no-starts from scan data
• Real-world case studies from our shop
• And much more
