- I’ve popped into Bosch to see what you can and can’t do and what specialist training and equipment you will need to tackle the high voltage bits of your modern motorcar.
Is it any different to servicing your ICE car or will it shock or maim you in some horrible high tech way?

I was worried at the start that it was going to be just a Bosch advert however the second half was very interesting - never thought working on a hybrid was so dangerous!
It’s dangerous alright I’ve worked on one never wanna work on one again
2022's best quote, " no one wants to be killed to death by a Prius"🤣🤣
NO one wants to drive or admit they own a prius....
Or drive one
Fatally!
"killed to death fatally"
Anyone driving a Prius is an uber driver until proven otherwise
II was a firefighter when the electric/ hybrid cars started hitting the roads. I got ahold of a video done by Toyota covering first responder safety during accident rescues. The bottom line is yes they can kill you of you come into contact with the high voltage components. There is supposed to be an automatic disconnect for the batteries after an accident however there are a number of failures with those. The recommendation was for first responders to wear "lineman's" safety gloves when using the jaws of life or a cutter incase the HV lines are cut into. Tere is a lot more in the course but yes they can be dangerous.
What's happening with the Range Rover, it's been months since the last video.
I always enjoy Edd's videos but of late they have been too few and far between. I wish they were more regular than they are and of course there are so many projects we would like to have updates on.
Edd comencé a seguirte ahora, te seguía desde el programa de tv, explicas bien y claro, saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina !!!
I don't know what was better. The insightful and instructional video or "The Edd China's a million ways to get killed to death fatally comedy show".
Thanks for the upload, Edd.
As usual, you brought complex concepts to the day-by-day world.
Thank you, please don't stop to do this!!! Cheers!
Always keen to see another video. This one was just as good as the usual. Nice work 👍
Awesome content Ed! Thank your for these videos!!!!
Welcome back Edd. Hope you had a great summer!
Thank goodness you’re back! I’ve seen all your videos and you’re the best
Thanks for the video. I have a plug-in hybrid Ford C-Max and never thought about the safety concerns that you showed. Good Job!
Ed, extraordinary and very entertaining video, like everything you generate for us. I've always followed you, and I appreciate your work. Thank you very much..!
Thanks Edd for teaching people 👍
As usual, amazing content, thanks Edd! Greetings from Lithuania!
I remember when Prius came on market i work at Toyota that time. Blow in gloves and take away security switch was something i never forget.😃
It's great to see you again Edd.
Goddamnit Edd, you just made me watch an ad for Bosch and somehow made me learn something and enjoy it as well! You sneaky bastard!
Hi Edd. Great to see you back with more great content! Been missing your weekly episodes-are you planning to pick things back up regularly soon?
@Figment He's not a YTer, he's just on YT as well. Also, you should check his profile and social tab, he mentioned that they are taking a well deserved rest. It would be preferrable if he made it more clear but ohh well...
Did they actually give you the full course? That could make for some awesome content that's different from what most other youtube creators can do!
If they did that, DIYers wouldn't pay to do the course
Imi are trying to license working on EVs.
The level 3 course is pretty poor
A Prius ? The devil itself has seduced Edd.
Jaguar wanted nearly £400 to service my 4 year old I-Pace. I looked at the job spec, it entailed changing the pollen filter, topping up the washer fluid and changing the brake fluid. Basically a rip off. The cabin filter I changed myself for £15, the washer fluid cost me £4.99 from Tesco for 5 litres, and the brake fluid change cost me £72 from my local garage. Total cost £91.99. With the £300 saving I'm going to Tenerife for a week!.
Another great video of Ed continuing his work to Inform and Educate a principle of the BBC which he may of watched when he was younger. Continue sharing your wisdom.
Interesting stuff, really learned a lot from watching this. Well done.
Thanks for this video Edd! 👍😁
This may have been commented before, tip when testing insulated gloves for cracks is to hold them front and back then open, instead of at the sides before flipping them to trap air. It creates more space inside the glove at the start and holds more air for leak check. Great video.
Edd China The Auto Jedi Master On point knowledge gained from every post / video
Thanks for this one, Edd!
My car is an '07 Honda Civic Hybrid. For anyone interested, its high-voltage isolation scheme requires removal of the rear seat back, then releasing a little access panel to reveal the switch, and then flipping said switch to the isolated position. The battery pack itself is mounted within an insulated capsule in the boot on the other side of the non-hinged rear seat, well hidden behind the fuzzy panels. Pretty great safety design but it limits the length of boards one can stow for any DIY woodworking projects!
I drive a Prius 2 a lot of years.
The best car I ever have.
Since the display limit of 299.999 km has reached, the actual km range must be more than 300.000 km.
I like your instruction for a save working on the servicing of a hybrid car.
Thanks
Hola Excelente. Video y explicación...la verdad como siempre lo que enseñas y siempre vas avanzando así lo moderno en lo que está el mercado automotriz..gracias... desde quilmes desde América del Sur. Saludos 🤗 🤗
I do have a soft spot for Bosch because their only shareholder is a non-profit, charitable foundation.
Instead of enriching shareholders and fund managers their profits go towards good causes.
I like ZF for the same reason.
A Edd China upload, Tonight is a good night for sure. The true master of car workshops.
Good to see a new video from you Edd
glad to see you back in the shop!! gettr done :)
Very interesting. I laughed with those examples of what would be happening in case of the engine starting to spin while servicing :D
Awesome video as always Edd.
*Safety tip for folks changing their wiper blades:* Keep hold of the wiper arm at all times, then when you've disconnected the wiper blade, _carefully lay it back down_ onto a clean cloth on the windscreen before reaching for the new wiper blade. It only takes a moment but it saves you a fortune every single time on avoiding a very expensive accident.
I've seen so many people leave it up out of bad habit (even the most experienced mechanics) then proceed to accidentally knock the wiper arm, which snaps down and cracks the windscreen.
Yes, most folks have windscreen cover on their insurance, but try explaining that little mistake to your service manager (aka significant other 😅) why their car now needs a new windscreen...
Yup, easy yes, safe hell no...
@@AttilaAsztalos What do you mean there mate?
@@mazdamaniac4643 Edd was saying changing the wiper was "easy and safe"; well, I do agree with easy, but my previous windshield wants to veto "safe"...
@@AttilaAsztalos Ahh, no worries mate. I've had a few close calls myself with this and after seeing the results happen to the guy working next to me in the workshop, I was "Nope." and the cloth on the windscreen from then on.
Agreed! Sadly learnt my lesson doing this the painful way… Excellent tip for the uninitiated. 👏 👏 🙌
Great to have you back Edd
Interesting thanks Ed nice to see you again 👍
Thanks Edd! Welcome back!
Thanks! That's why I'm keeping my ICE car. I know how to fix it.
But an EV, with around 30 moving parts, has considerably less chance of requiring fixing than an ICE car with over 2000 moving parts....... What isn't there can't break or wear out.
Very interesting video Edd!
Looking forward though to what has been happening with a Land Rover 🤔😉
Great awareness to the home mechanic. I didn't know the engine can just spin up like that. Thx Edd
Hi, Mark! Yep, it's no different from shoeing a carthorse in the olden days; important to remember to fill its nosebag with oats before starting work lest Old Ned throws a wobbler and kicks your head off... 🤭
Seems extremely unlikely that the engine will randomly turn on if ignition is off. It’s not like Priuses are frequently turning on in the middle of the night. Disconnecting 12V is just good practice for certain jobs whether pure ICE or hybrid.
@@TheEquationSlayer I've replaced front brake pads and rotors on an early Prius about 5yrs ago and I was warned to disconnect the 12v battery, can't remember the reason but seemed like a good idea at the time and we had no problems, looks like we avoided being "killed to death fatally" which sounds rather nasty🙂
It doesn't just turn on randomly. Just don't leave the ignition turned on.
@@darylwalford8697 That's because the brake system will pressurise itself when you open the drivers door. Makes for quite a mess if one of the calipers is hanging off on the side and somebody opens the drivers door.
Yes missed you edd nice to see you back
A very interesting video which taught me a lot. Thank you for sharing the knowledge with us.
I wonder how many "home mechanics" are likely to be caught out by the dangers highlighted in this video?
Always familiarise yourself with safe working practices whatever you are working on. Plenty of dangers on an EV for the fearless dabbler.
thanks for remembering us. great video
gracias por acordarse de nosotros. gran video.
Good to see ya Ed 🥰 Excellent video content, now I know how to work safely on Hybrid/full EV car. Thanks a bunch 🙏
İt was a helpful video thank you so much Edd
Great video I've also got my level 2 course so this was really interesting for me
Another great video where I have learnt something today, have missed you Edd been too long come back soon
Bought my first hybrid, an 07 Prius, the beginning of this year and it’s been great. Had 201k miles when I bought it and 223k now with the only work needed was the coolant inverter pump went bad(1hr job + $100 part) and I just replaced the struts all around last week from being worn out. Otherwise it’s just been oil changes, filters, and tires. Even has original brake pads!
Nice to see you back
Edd, I work for a large telecom, where we use class 2 insulating gloves, as well as rubber mats. For a very short time, we switched to class 0, but found that that they had to be discarded at the end of their certification, whereas the class 2, that we've always used, can be returned for recertification. Prior to expiration, we order replacements, then return the old ones. We do the air test, but after the pull test, pulling the fingers apart while looking for the contrasting color to indicate any cracks or splits. then turn it inside out and repeat all that. Ours are black outside, red inside. Cheers!
That’s really interesting, I’ll look into what the differences in spec are…
As expected, good concise practical demonstration. 👍🇬🇧
Oh! Hi Edd! Missed you 😘 Having just bought a mild hybrid, this was very interesting and thought provoking! Like finding a friendly local garage that will look after it for me 🤔
Every morning I watch wheelers dealers in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺.miss your knowledge 🇦🇺🔥👍
Welcome back good ot see you amazing show true legend never forgotten 🤠🤠♥️
Great video, very informative.
Brilliant video mate
Great Video, Important safety info too :D Looking forward to next video :D
I didn't realise working with high voltage systems is safer with an arm behind your back, I googled why. Thanks for that Edd
Would be wonderful if you also did "will it start" videos like Mustie1 or others... Was so much fun that you repaired and explained every step you did before... 🤗🤗 Love you Edd China
Really great vid Edd 👍
感謝艾德講述油電車維修的前置安全，Edd,thanks👍
Hi edd. So happy for your return.
Love your work 👍
Back in the 70''s The one hand behind you was taught to TV engineers when working on old 25Kv eht screen colour tubes also to discharge the set via the mains plug with a 1k 5watt resister to discharge the set completely, I made an adapter for the TV plug to plug in to with the resister build in. But one day when picking up an old mono TV, screen to my chest, I forgot the plug adapter Left in my van and the tube discharged via the mains plug in my hand to my chest, I never forgot to use the adapter after that.
Welcome back, Edduardo! 😎
Great video. Hope you can do the next level of the course and show us that too.
Hi Edd
Please do more videos, we watched Wheeler Dealer because of you, how easy you explain everything and nice presentation
Glad to see Mr Edd back on our TH-cam screens...interesting video!
So I have a non EV related question to do with the very last few frames of the video if I may...
When Edd topped up the engine oil, it was to the 'max' mark. I tend to do that too, oil to max to help cooling and make sure my engine has plenty of 'blood'.
But just checking that filling to the 'max' mark is good practice? Obviously, too much oil is bad but to the 'max' is okay - yes?
Great video Ed. These precautions are certainly neccessary but I can imagine a lot of DIYers will have the safety third attitude and will get out there and do their service with their Marigolds on. I didn't realise it was so dangerous so some good information. Not that I will have an electric car for a few years.
I know how to change a windscreen wiper now. Thank you Edd😘
Hi Edd, thanks for the very informative video which is timely because my friend just bought a new Hyundai Ioniq PHEV, we have well equipped workshop and normally service our own cars but the Ioniq will very likely be going to the dealer to be serviced especially since being "killed to death fatally" sounds particularly nasty.
Great video mate 👌
Edd, Thank you to video 🙂👍
Nice to see you back pal
Missed you, great to see you today 😀
I build valve amps and repair valve radios as a hobby. Great fun. The one hand behind your back is par for the course as 1200v AC is often exposed inside the equipment. If you are very careful it is safe though I have been bitten in the past. Only by about 200v but that was scary enough.
Good advice. I do the valve thing too.
I once accidentally brushed against the DC link of an industrial inverter. That's 3-phase mains, rectified (about 600V DC). It pulled a muscle in my wrist that ached for over a week - and that was a very lucky escape.
Really fascinating.
"Particularly by a Prius" did it for me.. Thumbs up!
I'm not a fan of electric cars, but Edd did a great job explaining this procedure.
High voltage is dangerous but it is the high current (amps) which sets the car on fire or gives you terrible burns. This could happen with a ICE car and it's 12V battery to a smaller degree. Never underestimate the power available from a battery ! Good video Edd.
Brilliant 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ed, loved your informative video as I knew I would :-), though as a bit of feedback the video editing needs a bit of work. I could do a better job which does not say much. :-)
Your car videos are a spark of positively in the current scary world we live in. I always feel I’ve learnt something after watching them, and that feels good. Especially in a time when so many car programs on tv these days are just nonsense and provide little or no information of value. Thanks chap. Watching your video has turn my dark morning into a positive one. Still got to finish your book too (got distracted by life some time back). My son still talks about sitting in your chair at the book store and meeting you! Though I’m not expecting you to remember us. Thanks to my dad and you and still get joy from picking up a spanner and working on cars. Did the timing belt on my car this year and the other week I replaced my brake discs etc. Whenever I have a problem I think “What would Dad or Ed do?” So thanks for all the help you’ve given me, even if you’d didn’t realise it. 😊
Glad you are enjoying the book and the show and great that it’s spurred you on to doing your own maintenance.
Very well done 👍
Reminds me on working with trolleybuses, especially the huge capacitor bank. You can either wait until it discharges via the bleeder resistor, or, if impatient, place a screwdriver between the terminals. Before that, make sure to say farewell to your screwdriver.
Hey Edd! LTNS! Glad you're back.
Edd, you should have called the video "Will it kill you to death fatally?" And only 400v? Pffft! Try 25kv from an old CRT TV tripler. But yeah, the most dangerous part is the current. As little as 0.1 amps across the old ticker can kill you to death most fatally.
Thank you🧡
Welcome back,Edd!
Welcome back Edd
Congratulations, Edd, on achieving the highest level of sponsor product placement ever!
Wowwwwwwwwwww, excelente recomendación, muy interesante y se agradece.
Saludos desde México
Great to see you back! Was getting worried………
He obviously isn’t killed to death.
I wouldn’t mind doing that course Edd.
Thank you.👍🙂
From looking at the special handling precautions shown, I'm thinking garage labor rates will probably double.
As will the number of inadequate mechanics.
Yep. Mechanics will have to do courses and purchase insulated tools, neither of which will be inexpensive
Not so. The first service on my Kia eNiro cost me less than £90. Both guys at my local (village) garage have been on the HEVRA course, and are certified to work on electric vehicles.
I noticed the "spare" hand out of the way trick. Reliability of early computers was improved by not turning them off. Repairs could be made with the high voltage on using an unearthed soldering iron and your other hand in your pocket.
I love videos like this 😍
