Hybrid Drive Train Configurations
Series hybrid Parallel hybrid Series/parallel hybrid

Hybrid Vehicle Operation
Five modes of operationall-electric drivemotor assistidle stopregenerative brakingengine starting
© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only
All-Electric Drive Mode
Battery pack provides all energy needed to propel the vehicle
Many hybrids stay in all-electric mode when accelerating up to 20-40 mph
When a hybrid runs on electrical energy only, it burns no fuel and emits no hydrocarbons
© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only
All-Electric Mode
The engine is off, and the motor-generator propels the vehicle
© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only
Motor Assist Mode
Both the motor-generator and internal combustion engine apply torque to the drive train for propulsion
© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only
Motor Assist Mode
The engine and motor-generator work together to propel the vehicle
© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only
Idle Stop Mode
Internal combustion engine is shut off when the vehicle comes to a stop
The engine restarts when the vehicle reaches a predetermined speed or when the battery pack is discharged
© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only
Regenerative Braking Mode
When brakes are applied, the motor-generator functions as a generator
The drag created by the generator slows the vehicle and recaptures the vehicle’s kinetic energy
Hydraulic brakes are applied only for hard braking

Regenerative Braking Mode
Motor-generator slows the vehicle while generating electricity

the motor-generator and engine togethersends just enough current to the motor-
generator to turn the engine at about 300 rpm
signals the engine ECU to provide spark and fuel to the engine

Hybrid battery packs have a warranty from the vehicle manufacturer
Battery packs are very dependable, though electrolyte and plates can be depleted after many years of operation
NiMH batteries should not be stored for long periods

Battery Pack Recharging
Hybrid battery charger uses a step-up transformer to force high-voltage into the battery packbattery packs that fail to take a full charge
should be replaced

Battery Pack Recharging
If the vehicle has a conventional 12-volt battery, it can usually be jump-started with booster cablesnever try to jump-start an HV battery pack
with a 12-volt booster battery, or the battery will explode

Battery Pack Testing
To check battery pack performance, connect a scan tool and test-drive the vehicleuse regenerative braking and drive uphill
to place demands on the systemthe combination meter and scan tool will
indicate the battery pack’s state of charge, battery voltage, and recharge current
© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only
Battery Pack Testing
compare results to known good battery pack or manufacturer’s specifications
if the battery pack does not hold charge, produces insufficient current, or has poor capacity, it should be replaced
© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only
Battery Pack Testing
If high battery temperatures are indicated, use an infrared thermometer to compare cell temperatures if only one cell runs warm, it is probably shorted
and the battery pack should be replaced if all cells are warm, check cooling system
Check for problems in an air cooling systemblower electrical or mechanical problemsdamaged or blocked air intake ducts

Battery Pack Replacement
Battery packs are usually located in the trunk or under the rear seat cushion or floor pan
Most common reason for replacement is damage from a collision
Be careful removing a battery packwear insulated rubber gloves and eye protectionuse an assistant or an engine hoist to lift the
battery packplace high-voltage warning labels on the
shipping container

Check should be done if trouble codes indicate that the battery is OK, but power is not reaching the power control module
Contactor lugs can become burned and pitted
© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only
If burned, contactor lugs will develop increased resistance and may not deliver sufficient current to the PCM
When measuring high voltage, use only high-voltage meter with leads having thick insulation
© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only
Check resistance values of cables in the scan tool’s data list display if resistance is too high, tighten or repair
cable ends, or replace cables if needed If the scan tool reading indicates a
ground fault, perform an ohmmeter test between cable connector and groundif resistance is too low (<350k ohms), the
cable may be shorting to ground

A loose cable end can overheat and burn the electrical connection
Always torque cable fasteners to factory specs
