B9. Identify hybrid vehicle auxiliary (12v) battery service, repair, and test procedures.

Identify hybrid vehicle auxiliary (12v) battery service, repair, and test procedures.  I accomplished this task by reading the high voltage hybrid vehicles part in the electrical book. I learned that the high voltage wires and areas where colored with orange. The auxiliary 12 volt is usually the same as any other 12 volt battery system.

B8. Identify electronic modules, security systems, radios, and other accessories that require reinitialization or code entry after reconnecting vehicle battery.

.  Identify electronic modules, security systems, radios, and other accessories that                            require re initialization or code entry after reconnecting vehicle battery. I have accomplished this task by reading about it in the book. Also I feel that I have accomplished this by installing a battery memory saver in the Ford Expedition prior to performing a parasitic draw test. Usually the only two things that require a re initiialization code are factory stereos and anti theft systems. 

B7. . Identify high-voltage circuits of electric or hybrid electric vehicle and related safety precautions.

.  Identify high-voltage circuits of electric or hybrid electric vehicle and related safety                    precautions. I have accomplished this task by reading about the high voltage hybrid cars in the book. Although we did zero work whatsoever on hybrid cars, I have learned that the color of the high voltage cables is orange and that when we pull the safety switch we need to wait 90 minutes for all the modules to go to sleep.

B6. Jump-start vehicle using jumper cables and a booster battery or an auxiliary power supply.

Jump-start vehicle using jumper cables and a booster battery or an auxiliary power                            supply. I accomplished this task by reading the electrical book that told me about how to properly connect jumper cables from a good battery to a bad. The bad battery is connected first and then the good battery's positive cable is attached first. It is important that the negative cable of the jumper cables on the bad battery side be connected to a proper ground as to not explode the battery. 

B5. . Perform slow/fast battery charge according to manufacturer’s recommendations.

 Perform slow/fast battery charge according to manufacturer’s recommendations. I accomplished this task by performing a three minute charge on the Ford Expedition in the shop. Me and Lucas did this by hooking up the fast charger and setting it to 45 amps. we then set a timer to three minutes and after it was done charging we determined that the battery was not sulfate because it maintained a proper voltage.                       

B4. Inspect and clean battery; fill battery cells; check battery cables, connectors, clamps, and hold-downs.

Inspect and clean battery; fill battery cells; check battery cables, connectors, clamps, and hold-downs.  I accomplished this task by cleaning the surface of the battery and testing for voltage loss between the two terminals. As a part of that test, me and Lucas checked the battery cables, connectors, clamps and hold downs, and we determined that the hold downs where non existent. This picture here shows the proper battery cables and connectors and a proper hold down. 

B3. Maintain or restore electronic memory functions.

Maintain or restore electronic memory functions.  I accomplished this task by hooking up a memory saves in the Ford Expedition in the shop. this was done prior to the parasitic draw lab which required the disconnection of the battery, which without a memory saver would loose all of the computer memories of the car such as preset radio stations, cruise control presets, etc. This memory saver is plugged into the same connector to which a scan tool is connected. 

B2. Confirm proper battery capacity for vehicle application; perform battery capacity test; determine necessary action.

Confirm proper battery capacity for vehicle application; perform battery capacity test;                    determine necessary action. I accomplished this task by performing a battery capacitance test on the ford expedition in the shop. Me and lucas both came to the conclusion that the vehicle passed the test because it maintained a voltage above 9.6 volts at the end of the 15 second interval. 

B1. Perform battery state-of-charge test; determine necessary action.

 Perform battery state-of-charge test; determine necessary action.  I have accomplished this task by performing a battery state of charge test on the ford expedition in the shop as part of our battery service task sheet. I remember the percentages that the voltage value gives us of the state of charge of the battery, 12.66 being 100 percent fully charged.
