ACC205518 - AURETH011 Depower and reinitialise hybrid electric vehicles

Version Effective: 21st of September, 2026
Course Details

Course Summary

This unit describes the performance outcomes required to depower and reinitialise hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). It involves ensuring that the vehicle high voltage (HV) rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) is isolated before commencing any service or repair work. It also involves calibrating vehicle systems that may need resetting once the energy storage system is reinitialised. Importance is placed in the unit on applying RESS and separated extra low voltage (SELV) electrical safety procedures.

Student Outcomes, Career Opportunities and Occupations

Gaining competency in AURETH011 will give students the understanding of how to safely depower the rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) and separated extra low voltage (SELV) on hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and stabilise the vehicles ensuring that no residual high voltage (HV) is measured. It will also give students the understanding of how to safely reinitialise each HEVs or PHEVs RESS and SELV system and confirm correct vehicle operation.
