AFVT 1630 - Hybrid Electric Vehicle Systems I

Credits: 3
This course is designed to give students the skills needed to diagnose and repair the complex systems found in today’s modern hybrid vehicles. The primary focus will be on the interaction of the different power sources found of hybrid vehicles and how they work together to propel the vehicle down the road. This includes study of the function of high voltage systems, along with the motor/generator assemblies, and advanced computer controls that are contained in these high-tech drivetrains. The student will be able to not only service these systems, but they will also be able to diagnose and repair problems that can occur in today’s modern hybrid cars and trucks.

Prerequisite: AUTO 1770
