Circuit/System Testing

WARNING:

High voltage enabling and disabling shall be only performed by High Voltage Qualified Technicians. The procedures for high voltage enabling/disabling can be found in the service instructions and must be strictly followed at all times. The usage of the Protocol High Voltage Disabling / Enabling is mandatory. The High Voltage Qualified Technician is responsible for the adherence to the manufacturer's service instructions as well as current national legal regulations.

Failure to follow the procedures exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.

Questions regarding training can be answered by your national training centre.

WARNING:

Any hybrid/EV battery pack replacement shall be performed by High Voltage Qualified Technicians only. The replacement procedure can be found in the service instruction and must be strictly followed at all times. The High Voltage Qualified Technician is responsible for adherence to the manufacturer's service instructions as well as current national legal regulations. If the hybrid/EV battery pack needs to be replaced contact the Technical Assistance Centre for further instructions prior removal of the battery pack.
