I-CAR had a discussion on vehicle-maker required tools and equipment.

As electric-only, hybrid, and fuel cell electric vehicles are increasing in sales, they are becoming more commonplace in repair facilities. Along with the unique powertrains that come with these vehicles, also comes unique safety concerns. Regardless of vehicle maker, high-voltage (HV) systems pose a threat of injury or death if not handled properly. Only personnel with the proper training, PPE, tools, equipment, and service information should perform work on the HV systems.

Sometimes going back-to-basics can make the difference between a quality repair and a failed repair. Rivets as panel attachments are becoming the new norm. This tool can make marking and making the holes for those rivets a breeze.

High-voltage (HV) vehicles have some special considerations for handling and storing HV batteries and other components. The dangers of HV batteries are potential even after removal which is why certain precautions are needed. Let’s see what Kia has to say.

When researching calibration procedures for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), you may notice that many of the procedures require the use of specific tools. Some tools may be everyday items like string, tape, levels, paper, etc. However, many of them are OEM-specific tools or scan tools. Often identifying and locating where to purchase these specific tools can be difficult.

Mild hybrid systems are not new. They were some of the first hybrid vehicles to be put into production. The 48-volt mild hybrid system is now becoming more common among some vehicle makers. What considerations are there for repairing a vehicle equipped with a 48-volt mild hybrid system? Let’s see what BMW has to say.

Repairer Driven News (RDN) released an article highlighting a Repairer Driven Education (RDE) session on OEM procedures and important factors of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) calibration.

I-CAR has developed two video-based courses on measuring, anchoring, and pulling. This video-based learning experience engages you by showing two experienced technicians navigating a repair from initial walk around to pulling of damaged vehicles.
