Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Air Conditioning Systems (3-Part Series)

​Three (3) 1-hour online training sessions:

• Part 1: 3-Phase Electric Compressor System Components and Operation
• Part 2: Special Use of Air Conditioning Systems:  Cabin and Battery Pack Cooling
• Part 3: Air Conditioning System Special Service Topics
  • Oils and Isolation Fault Issues
  • Compressor Current Testing Using Current Probes and Scope
  • Scan Tool PIDs and DTCs

Electric Air Conditioning (A/C) systems used in hybrid, plug-in, and electric vehicles are unlike the belt-driven systems used in traditional vehicles.  The Stop-Start or all electric operation of a vehicle requires an air conditioning system that operates and cools the cabin (and in some cases the battery pack) regardless of vehicle mode.  This series will provide the technician information and practical applications for understanding systems operation, diagnosis, using the correct system oil, and repair of vehicles using a High Voltage A/C system.  At the conclusion of this course, technicians will have a firm understanding of these systems, how A/C systems can be used to cool battery packs, how to select the correct compressor oils, and testing compressors using Scan Tools and special tools.  


​This class results in a certificate of completion that will be provided to the participant after successfully completing all online training sessions in the series. The certificate and its stated hours are eligible for NATEF annual credit and may count toward other professional development requirements.
