Title: Identify vehicle systems which pose a safety hazard during service, such as supplemental restraint systems (SRS), electronic brake control systems, stop/start systems, and remote start systems.
Course: Automotive Technology II (MLR 2-Year Program) (20104-II) > Section: Foundational Tasks: Shop and Personal Safety

Identification should include following manufacturer guidelines.

When working with hybrid vehicles, workers should be able to identify

- the location of the battery
- the physical appearance of the disconnects (i.e., small, plastic pieces that fit into the side of a hybrid battery)
- the location of high-voltage circuits, according to service materials and manufacturer guidelines
- specific protective gear and clothing that technicians should wear when working with the service plug (i.e., class OO insulating/voltage gloves).

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why is it important to follow manufacturer guidelines when disabling an SRS?
- What could happen if the air bag deploys at the wrong time?
- What precautions should be taken when handling removed airbags?
- What are the components of the electronic brake control systems?
- What are the types of electronic brake control systems?
- How does the wheel speed sensor operate?
- What color are the high-voltage circuits?
- What are the shock dangers involving electric/hybrid vehicles?
- What is the electrocution threshold for humans?
