About the Course:

This Advanced Routine HEV Inspection Part 3 microcredential trains technicians to inspect and maintain Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) components integrated within Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) to ensure efficient engine performance, reliability, and seamless hybrid system operation. 

Learners will practice real-world inspection procedures including evaluating engine components, checking lubrication systems, inspecting fuel delivery systems, assessing cooling circuits, monitoring exhaust systems, and identifying signs of wear or mechanical issues. The course emphasizes preventive maintenance, safety compliance, and accurate diagnostics to support long-term vehicle efficiency and reduce performance failures. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify key ICE components in hybrid electric vehicles that require routine inspection
  • Perform inspections of engine systems including belts, hoses, seals, and moving components
  • Assess engine oil condition, lubrication systems, and identify signs of contamination or leakage
  • Inspect fuel delivery systems and components for wear, blockage, or performance issues
  • Evaluate cooling system performance and inspect engine-related thermal management components
  • Monitor exhaust system condition and identify common indicators of engine inefficiency
  • Follow manufacturer-recommended inspection procedures and safety protocols
  • Document inspection findings and recommend necessary maintenance actions

 

Course delivered via LMS and requires an Oculus VR headset for hands-on VR simulations.

Technician measuring electrical resistance during hybrid vehicle electrical system inspection

At ImmerseLearn, we equip hybrid vehicle technicians with the skills required to inspect and maintain ICE components within hybrid vehicles. This microcredential strengthens preventive maintenance capabilities, diagnostic accuracy, and mechanical inspection skills through immersive VR-based learning.

How this course strengthens workforce skills:

ICE Component Inspection −
Learn how to systematically inspect critical internal combustion engine components including pistons, belts, valves, spark plugs, intake systems, and engine assemblies. Technicians develop the skills needed to detect potential engine issues before they impact hybrid vehicle performance.
Lubrication and Fuel System Assessment +
Practice evaluating engine oil quality, lubrication pathways, fuel injectors, fuel lines, and combustion-related components. Learners gain experience identifying leaks, contamination, pressure issues, and early warning signs that may affect engine operation.
Cooling and Exhaust System Evaluation +
Understand how engine cooling and exhaust systems support efficient ICE performance within hybrid vehicles. Technicians will inspect coolant systems, radiators, pumps, exhaust pathways, and related components to ensure proper thermal regulation and emissions control.
Preventive Maintenance Inspection +
Develop the ability to inspect routine maintenance items such as filters, spark plugs, fluid levels, air intake systems, and engine support components that directly influence overall engine reliability and performance.
Inspection Documentation and Reporting +
Apply proper documentation procedures to record inspection results, identify deficiencies, and communicate maintenance recommendations. Learn how accurate reporting improves service planning, vehicle reliability, and long-term operational efficiency.

By completing this microcredential, technicians will gain the confidence and practical skills needed to perform routine inspections of ICE components in hybrid electric vehicles, identify potential mechanical issues early, and maintain the performance, reliability, and efficiency of hybrid vehicle powertrain systems.
