Yes: sir Dan me I was really so impressed about your very nice and helpful for ours many viewers about your videos and regarding this issue about EV and high bridge cars and I want watch more and more videos at your working time thank you very sir And my the more blessings on and your family as well see we hope to see you again sir dan at your videos
Hi Dan, I am an auto electrical trainer/ assessor and in my quest to train the next generation of auto electricians, trying to find good UA-cam videos is a mission. I came across your videos last year and have been referring apprentices to your channel ever since. I have had great feedback from them and I must say that your presentation is excellent and easy to understand. Just yesterday I went to train an apprentice and the first reception that I got from him was an excited "Hey Dennis ..I watched one of Dan's video's on a BMW and it taught me so much.' Thanks, Dan for passing your knowledge on to the next generation with such expertise and passion.
I do wish it was a 2013 Prius V with this problem like my friends, which was above my skills and tools so we just towed it to a shop. It showed low hybrid battery plus yellow lights for hybrid system, check engine, yellow brake symbol probably meaning ABS, and "slip" light probably meaning traction control, plus car was slow and engine idled fast. Then as I drove it to the shop, the red "electric power steering" light came on, and the engine died and would not restart. The shop turned out to be down hill, but my friend called a tow truck anyway.
I love how you've gotten so much more comfortable working in front of the camera, but still haven't lost any of that deer in the headlights charm. Kudos.
Dan I'm so very happy to have found your channel.I'm also a professional automotive technician that does all the diag. for my shop and you truly have a way of explaining things and going above and beyond to make sure your viewers understand what you are doing and more importantly why.
Great work Dan its nice to see that there still are professionals out there , usually mechanics nowadays just replace everything and hope it will be fixed
Your English is absolutely perfect Dan,you'd have no problems in England. English people can struggle understanding us,they thought I was Russian or Ukrainian!.
99% of technicians keep their knowledge a secret. Dan has opened the way for us to have a community where we can share rather than hide tips and tricks! Thank you Dan 😊
Nice video! I’ve been working on Toyota Prius since the beginning and I would like to add a warning about safety equipment. The gloves are great but I recommend shoes that are EH. ASTM F2413-11 M I/75, C/75, EH compliant. This helps your feet from becoming a path to ground. Obviously check your shoes for holes or contamination and of course make sure your work area is free from any water hazard and oil/grease. Great video and I think that EV’s are easier to work on than with gas engines!
Paul I think you might be a bit lost in your thoughts. If you are in the charging circuit whilst the mains are connected then definitely worry about things like shoes.. I work with real high voltage 11kv and that does have the ability to jump gaps and find earths due to the earth being part of the circuit. However the voltages present in automotive batteries wouldn't require anything more than standard industrial work boots. The gloves and insulated tools are there to protect the battery as much as the service guy. Close quarters bus bars that are very high current capable when shorted are the danger but just touching a single terminal of even an 500 volt circuit is fine as long as you are clear of the other side of the circuit and it doesn't include a ground plane you are in contact with. Unless you are wet or sweaty you will rarely notice anything under 150 volts even if you do make a circuit {I wouldn't recommend this as it varies a lot on skin moisture ans your salt content}. But if you have wet hands or have been in salt water even a 12 volt battery can give you a significant jolt and being DC you don't release your grip. Imagine if you were a welder they use open circuit high voltage all the time yet things like earth clamps are not insulated. Stingers on an arc welder can have over 130 volts ac or dc and you can load and use these safely due to the fact that their circuit doesn't use the earth. Shorting the battery is the danger with Automotive EV systems. As for mains being connected any sparky will tell you that you never work on mains unless isolated. Fault find probing only. Even then your charging connector Should be protected on the mains side by a circuit breaker that monitors current to earth and if it goes above 15ma should cut out. This jolt is no worse than a spark lighter and considerably quicker.
The battery uses a "floathing" circuit. This means the battery is not connected to the real Earth, unlike factory and home installations. This means for the risk of getting shocked there is no difference wether you wear shoes or are on bear feet. These rules are still based upon old industrial rules made in the past. To get shocked you would have to touch both the positive and negative terminal and complete the circuit. Unless your planning on working on the high voltage components with your feet that is😂. Do wear normal safety shoes because these batteries are heavy!
Thank you all for commenting on my post and I guess I’m thinking more about best practices for safety as we are dealing with some high voltages. It’s interesting to note that when Toyota introduced the Prius Toyota sent a *safety kit* for shop use that included a rubberized mat for EV repair. It also included that fence barrier that Dan had in his video which is what made me think of it. Another thing to think about is that the manufacturers are upping the voltages for these systems what with Ford introducing the 800 volt systems in 2023. Developing best practices indeed!
Incredibly helpful Dan. I recently purchased an Outlander phev and always wondered how the batteries were setup. I'm also very very glad that you are using HV gloves given that I am a Power Engineer. I would also recommend a flash visor to protect your face from flashovers. I worked in LV Distribution boxes myself and have seen electrical arcs form when pulling links. All the best mate.
I'm likely stating the obvious but your approach to this channel is a refreshing. Its rare that individuals as competent as you are will offer their knowledge and experience to the public. Great work!
Dan, your selfless and interactive training is invaluable to especially countries where hybrid electric vehicles are new. You must be considered a gift to humanity .
I've recently retired, but I can't seem to stop learning. ALL my equipment in at home now and I've purchased a Quick-Jack. I'm still "DAD's GARAGE" to eight (8) family vehicles, one of which is a 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid. This video has shown me, I can still do this. My son says he'll help purchase the high-voltage safety items and insulated tools when the time comes... We'll see. Thank you for your videos. Your thought process is similar to mine... well thought out and explained. I look forward to seeing what's next.
I think it's great to see more EV-related content on UA-cam. My Golf GTE was quarantined for a long time because of a ground fault. In the end the entire battery pack was swapped (yay!). But my garage wasn't all too willing to share technical information with me, even though i told them i'm not the average joe when it comes to electronics. ;) This is a whole new segment of automotive content and i'm looking forward to seeing more!! Great fix, Dan!! \o/
I second devttyUSB0. There is to much mysteria which the dealers are trying to convey to the public in regards to EV's an Hybrid EV's. There is a huge need for you and your comunity, that are able to break down and de-mystify this.
Another fantastically detailed video. Not only making it easy to follow but covering all safety aspects to ensure the person doing the job is kept safe too.
Well, I'm usually only interested in 50+ years old land rovers w/o any digital fancy pants, but accidentially got caught in your channel. It is really enjoying to watch your diagnoses!
Great video as usual, super interesting. 33k km on the clock and the battery pack needs cracking open already, wow 🙄 I know two people that have owned this car and had nothing but problems with them. I'd only consider a Japanese hybrid as they aren't likely to bankrupt you when the warranty runs out 😂 Funny that not even the dealers can open the battery pack!
One video on UA-cam doesn't make every eV car unreliable (this is the only time I have heard of something like this failing as its a low voltage component not somthing that would typically fail) it good that you could change the sensor thought if it was anything els that might of been problematic to fix
I think it would be good if the car manufacturers are looking at this video. Having to drop the battery of the vehicle to change the current sensor doesn't seems to be the best design. It would be nice that the common circuitry like the breakers, current sensors, AC fan and compressor to be serviceable without removing the battery, instead they could add service trays.
I'm assuming this is for safety reasons. Most Li-Ion batteries have the fault detection and the current cut electronics inside the battery so that even if the battery is disconnected from power the safety precautions are still in place. Shorted or damaged Li-Ion battery is no fun. The probably don't wanna mess with the liability.
I have worked on a few High Voltage cars and I use a large 1/2 thick rubber mat to stand on as well as using line pole workers gloves you can never be to safe with this much power i have Buddy that works for the Electric company and he has seen guys blasted by lines 2 feet away it will jump to you if your grounded. 😳😳😳
There is no need to stand on a rubber mat. The battery is not connected to the Earth ground so the floor will never complete the circuit. In industrial or home electric installations this is different. The only way you can get shocked from the battery is to touch both the positive and the negative terminals at the same time.
Yep the issue is not really been electrocuted as much I be more worried about ark flash (the only place you can do that is the relay witch connects the battery to the car main HV system or messing with the cables on the relay as they are very hot and will kill you), unless you use a flathead screwdriver the battery it self is safe even with the top cover off, all terminals are covered on the battery's to physically touched the battery you need to take the plastic covers off and touch them or touch the HV relay terminals to get a death shock
Well an instructor that was teaching a hybrid school taught us this in his class because having the car on a lift can cause a ground path to the floor you are standing on so he taught us better to be safe than Dead.
Hello... I've been following with your teaching for a really long time... I seen almost all of your videos and so far, it's been the most educative thing I've seen on the internet my whole life. Because of you I'm currently studying to become a hybrid technician. It would really be an honor and would mean the world to me if I can get a diagnostic kit from you. You're the best.
Mr. Dan, I actually think I’ll pass my car electronics exams with Your help! Thx for making those awesome videos. Anyone mentioned You are a great teacher?
@@Diagnosedan Indeed and along with your others on hybrid make a great resource for those starting into repairing them safely and economically. Keeping the shocks electrical and economical at low voltage!
I was about to say the same thing. My Outlander model 2007 did 157 000km with only a turbo pipe disconnecting due to a bad clamp and the window not closing.
Yes, Mitsubishi dealerships are not allowed to open battery packs. You would have to ship the battery to a special repair center, and they supply you with a refurbished or new one. We were a Mitsubishi dealerships up to 2017
Found your channel about a week ago and binge watched every video, i've been a mechanic for over 20hrs and have learned lots in the last week from you, your a great teacher
HI DAN,,,I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR WAY OF WORKING AND MOST IMPOTTANTLY YOU DO NOT GIVE UP THE USE OF SAFETY AND SPECIFIC TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES NO MATTER IF IT HYBRID OR NOT WHIL EXPLANING AND SOLING THE PROBLEM YOU ARE FINALLY EDUCTION WHO KNOWS HOW TO DEAL WITH VEHICLE TECHNICAL PROBLEMS AND MALFUNCTION WITH THE TANGIBLE EXAMPLES YOU PROVIDE AND USING THE SAME SPECIFIC TOOLS CORRECTLY .THANK YOU ,NOAM HAZOR ISRAEL
You never fail Dan.. Everytime I watch one of your videos I feel like im in class and always learn something new. Now I have to watch the other videos and take notes :)
Excellent series! I've just experienced the misfortune of the collapse of my particular skill set in our industry. So, since the industry is progressively leaning towards A.I. w/wheels. Being the lead builder for several transmission shops kinda makes you the default electrical diagnostician Thanks.
Hi Dan, a very clear and methodical approach to troubleshooting and diagnosing a faulty battery current sensor in a Hybrid vehicle that is not charging.
i been watching your videos for long time and this is my first time i actaully writing a comment and just want to say that youre an amazing technician with such beautiful carector, keep them videos coming Sir and thank you
Finally good content on Hybrid vehicles! I am still surprised how long this field of automotive repairs has been neglected by automotive content creators.
Hi Dan, Dan here also. Thank you for your awesome videos very informative.I have been a technician/mechanic for 20 years and am currently completing an auto electrical apprenticeship. Cheers from Australia.
Geweldige video, heel leerzaam hoewel ikzelf niet snel aan zo’n reparatie ga beginnen. Omdat ik er niet de training voor heb gehad. Weten waar je beter niet aan kunt beginnen is ook heel verstandig 🙂
Ya know I watched all the other videos of the battery tear down but never watched this one! a great video and loe all the hybrid info I can get! I liked what you said about using insulated tools. I dropped a metal wrench across batteries in a 48 volt golf cart and that in itself made a pretty impressive "welding" arc! Thanks Dan.
Hi Dan, I have attended two Hybrid training courses. I have learnt more from your Hybrid videos then the two courses put together. Thank you. Merry Xmas.
Awesome video. Fantastic image and assembly quality. And as for its technical content, even better. Thank you very much for this tutorial. I have had an Outlander for a few months and I am concerned and love to know the vehicle as accurately as possible.
You are one smart fellow/tech. I recently viewed one of your videos and I'm hooked! Being a retired service tech, your skill sets are spot on, ever consider becoming an engineer? Your professionalism is awesome, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Another great video. As per usual, easy to follow & comprehend. You have a way of explaining things and not leaving viewers in the dust with their eyeballs spinning in their head. Best of luck..........................
Am from Africa kenya ,am a happy man becouse you always make diagnosis look simple and on point, thank you so much for that, i like doing diy on my two japanese cars, though i have never been confident enough to work on ECM and anything software on cars, now i have a clue,despite diagnostic tools are so expensive to have .KIMORI.
Dan you are great , and thanks giving us a good knowledge by putting a videos on the UA-cam platform and I usually watch your video daily to gain the knowledge more and more
My Last day at work tomorrow for the holidays, hoping you have a nice break too Dan. Thank you for continuing your knowledge share with EV's. Really enjoyed this video. I'm starting with Electude after the holidays.... Wish me luck. Happy hols everyone.
i owned one of the cars for 5 years, i always wanted to know what the inside of the battery looked like ---mine was 100% reliable , but thanks to you i know.
I really enjoyed your teaching and the safe way of working process you mentioned. Great. We love everything you discussed and told us. Keep presenting more videos.
Danny your videos are brilliant, right up my street. I am totally addicted and I need more! I find myself talking in a Dutch accent while going through the diagnostic process 😂
Hello Dan, great work with this car and with the channel itself. Just met the UA-cam channel and have been watching for hours, it's simply amazing you dedication with it. Keep the good work!
Great explanation of the systems, diagrams and such...but most importantly, the need to remind everyone about the dangers of high voltage systems. Thanks Dan...keep it up!
DiagnoseDan happy Holidays Dan. I love your videos. I am a Mater Technician with 45 years experience but still pick up great tips from your videos. Respect to you Dan. Unfortunately I am not a fan of Facebook lol.
Enjoying your videos, very educational and practical don't need to go to school anymore anyways just find the right video, you're an amazing teacher and parent
This was a really great video Dan. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Paul!
Thanks for the share. Keep bringing the knowledge

Mitsubishi doesn't allow you to service/open the battery. They even don't supply parts
@@Diagnosedan At least it's not Apple levels of "not allowed". If that were the case, the only way to get the battery open would be to destroy it.

Whenever I use the rubber gloves, I always use them inside a leather glove as the rubber breaks really easily.
So true i replace mine every year regardless the amount of use.
There is no need to stand on a rubber mat. The battery is not connected to the Earth ground so the floor will never complete the circuit. In industrial or home electric installations this is different.

Oh c'mon man, I can easily also say crank sensor. It's an even simpler sensor it is just a magnet really and it also stops the car from running.
Found your channel about a week ago and binge watched every video, i've been a mechanic for over 20hrs and have learned lots in the last week from you, your a great teacher
Another First Class video from Dan, I like your steady deliberate delivery, it gives me time to think about the content of your verbal information
HI DAN,,,I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR WAY OF WORKING AND MOST IMPOTTANTLY YOU DO NOT GIVE UP THE USE OF SAFETY AND SPECIFIC TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES NO MATTER IF IT HYBRID OR NOT WHIL EXPLANING AND SOLING THE PROBLEM YOU ARE FINALLY EDUCTION WHO KNOWS HOW TO DEAL WITH VEHICLE TECHNICAL PROBLEMS AND MALFUNCTION WITH THE TANGIBLE EXAMPLES YOU PROVIDE AND USING THE SAME SPECIFIC TOOLS CORRECTLY .THANK YOU ,NOAM HAZOR ISRAEL
Excellent video Dan, great work. I don't often get close to a hybrid vehicle at work. Always a pleasure to watch.
You never fail Dan..
Everytime I watch one of your videos I feel like im in class and always learn something new.
Now I have to watch the other videos and take notes :)
Thanks, 50 years in the trade glad to see a well groomed professional.
Excellent series! I've just experienced the misfortune of the collapse of my particular skill set in our industry. So, since the industry is progressively leaning towards A.I. w/wheels. Being the lead builder for several transmission shops kinda makes you the default electrical diagnostician
Thanks.
Hi Dan, a very clear and methodical approach to troubleshooting and diagnosing a faulty battery current sensor in a Hybrid vehicle that is not charging.
i been watching your videos for long time and this is my first time i actaully writing a comment and just want to say that youre an amazing technician with such beautiful carector, keep them videos coming Sir and thank you
Its always good to watch your vids, as you go into more detail than whats possible at my college
After watching so many of your videos, at work when i got Diag tickets n hooking up my scanner your intro song plays in my head.
Finally good content on Hybrid vehicles! I am still surprised how long this field of automotive repairs has been neglected by automotive content creators.
Precise, methodical, and logical. Pro diagnostics at its finest. *****
Hi Dan, Dan here also. Thank you for your awesome videos very informative.I have been a technician/mechanic for 20 years and am currently completing an auto electrical apprenticeship. Cheers from Australia.
Geweldige video, heel leerzaam hoewel ikzelf niet snel aan zo’n reparatie ga beginnen. Omdat ik er niet de training voor heb gehad.
Weten waar je beter niet aan kunt beginnen is ook heel verstandig 🙂
Ya know I watched all the other videos of the battery tear down but never watched this one! a great video and loe all the hybrid info I can get! I liked what you said about using insulated tools. I dropped a metal wrench across batteries in a 48 volt golf cart and that in itself made a pretty impressive "welding" arc! Thanks Dan.
Your way of explaining is beyond any other, you really make us tecky on edge and staying up to watch all your stuff,, happy new year
Hi Dan, I have attended two Hybrid training courses. I have learnt more from your Hybrid videos then the two courses put together. Thank you. Merry Xmas.
Dan, I love the way you teach very easy to understand & entertaining at the same time..
Awesome video. Fantastic image and assembly quality. And as for its technical content, even better. Thank you very much for this tutorial. I have had an Outlander for a few months and I am concerned and love to know the vehicle as accurately as possible.
You are one smart fellow/tech. I recently viewed one of your videos and I'm hooked! Being a retired service tech, your skill sets are spot on, ever consider becoming an engineer? Your professionalism is awesome, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Another awesome video, I'm a Hyundai master technician from Perú and I be happy and honor to be part of the Facebook support group
It's an honor to have you in the group Sir! Happy Holidays Miguel
@@Diagnosedan thank you, happy holidays for you too sir
Another great video. As per usual, easy to follow & comprehend. You have a way of explaining things and not leaving viewers in the dust with their eyeballs spinning in their head. Best of luck..........................
Am from Africa kenya ,am a happy man becouse you always make diagnosis look simple and on point, thank you so much for that, i like doing diy on my two japanese cars, though i have never been confident enough to work on ECM and anything software on cars, now i have a clue,despite diagnostic tools are so expensive to have .KIMORI.
After watching your video I felt like I was an engineer. Great video Dan
Dan you are great , and thanks giving us a good knowledge by putting a videos on the UA-cam platform and I usually watch your video daily to gain the knowledge more and more

i owned one of the cars for 5 years, i always wanted to know what the inside of the battery looked like ---mine was 100% reliable , but thanks to you i know.
I really enjoyed your teaching and the safe way of working process you mentioned. Great. We love everything you discussed and told us. Keep presenting more videos.
Danny your videos are brilliant, right up my street. I am totally addicted and I need more! I find myself talking in a Dutch accent while going through the diagnostic process 😂
Ha ha that's funny, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment it's appreciated
