Repair and Diagnosis: Description and Operation

Foreword

With the launch of the first generation of Cayenne models in 2003, Porsche advanced into the market segment of premium SUVs with great success. The superior performance both on and off the road, the unique design and the exceptional day-to-day usability have impressed so many customers worldwide, that more than 270,000 vehicles from the third series had rolled off the production line by the end of 2009.

New model year 2011 Cayenne models were launched in world-wide markets beginning May, 2010. It was possible to consolidate the leading position of the Cayenne in the areas of driving dynamics and driving performance while keeping CO2 emissions comparatively low. This could only be achieved by enhancing the drives, making significant reductions in weight using new materials and integrating state-of-the-art technology in our vehicles. A total of five derivatives and three drive types now cover a wider range of customer requirements: In addition to the Cayenne, Cayenne Diesel (not for USA), Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo models, a modern parallel full hybrid in the form of the Cayenne S Hybrid is now available for the first time.







A high level of qualification throughout the entire AfterSales organization is essential to meet the high expectations of Porsche customers in spite of the ever increasing complexity of the technology used in the vehicles and the growing number of different variants. This applies in particular to the completely new hybrid technology, which offers enhanced performance while at the same time delivering lower fuel consumption and consequently CO2 emissions thanks to the interaction between the combustion engine and electric motor. For the 38 kW electric motor, a voltage of 288 V is used in the vehicle, where by specific requirements apply in relation to workshop safety for the repair of vehicles.

This Cayenne S Hybrid Training Information is the training documentation for the 2-day high-voltage technician qualification. It deals not only with differences between the hybrid model and conventional drives, but also with the special features of hybrid technology as well as the specific requirements with respect to high-voltage safety. Following successful completion of this training course, the participant will be a certified high-voltage technician. Only high-voltage technicians are authorized to switch off the electric power in the hybrid vehicle, which is a mandatory requirement for certain vehicle repairs.

NOTE:
The Cayenne S Hybrid Training Information is not intended for use as a basis for performing repairs or diagnosis of technical problems. More detailed information for this purpose is available in PIWIS. We also recommend using the information available in the Porsche Academy.
