American vehicles and hybrids: diagnostics and battery health

22 anos de experiência
E-mail verificado

Twenty-two years under the hood in Detroit. Twelve of them at a Ford dealership, where I made Senior Master technician, and the last ten on my own shop floor working almost entirely on hybrids and EVs. Most calls I take fall into three buckets. Manufacturer-specific trouble codes that generic scanners read wrong or not at all. The real state of health of a traction battery on a used car somebody is about to buy. And the electrical gremlins that show up after a US vehicle gets imported and put on 230-volt shore power. On a hybrid pack I will not quote you a replacement. I will tell you which cell-group voltages and internal-resistance readings to pull, how to read them, and whether a module-level repair gets you three more years for a fraction of the price. Bring the scan data if you have it, or we pull it together on the call.

O que o distingue

I will talk you out of a purchase. Roughly half the pre-purchase inspections I do on used American cars end with me saying walk away, and that is the call that saves the most money.
