The majority of the work is on the internal combustion engine, drivetrain and suspension. Many techs worry about the high-voltage orange lines during these repairs. In this video, we cover how technicians can navigate the service information to find the correct procedure to de-energize EV and hybrid systems and isolate battery packs.

NREL says rapid adoption of zero-emission vehicles is critical to reduce emissions.
According to researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the rapid adoption of zero-emission electric vehicles will move the nation close to an 80% or more drop in transportation greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 from the 2019 level.
The researchers said they came to that conclusion after running thousands of computer simulations on the steps needed to decarbonize passenger and freight travel, which make up the largest contributor to greenhouse gases. While they advised that “no single technology, policy or behavioral change” is enough by itself to reach the target, eliminating tailpipe emissions would be a major factor.
The VCMI has many features, such as a powerful 4-channel scope, a graphing multimeter, a waveform generator, and more.
