Each Nissan dealership is required to have at least one service technician trained as a Nissan Hybrid Specialist.
The launch of the new hybrid system in the 2014 Pathfinder has created new technical training requirements for the Nissan Hybrid Specialist category.
The training requirements for the Nissan Hybrid Specialist are:
- Current SCOPE Electrical Specialist
- Current Nissan DFRT (OBD II Cert) Specialist
- Introduction to Nissan & Infiniti HEV Technologies (EHTC9905A-OLT) (e-learning course)
- Nissan HEV Technologies (EHTN9906A) (instructor-led technical training course)
All dealers that sell or service these vehicles must have at least one Hybrid Specialist to satisfy safety requirements and meet warranty reimbursement requirements.
For questions regarding certification requirements or general questions regarding technical training, select “Technician Skills” on the Technician VA home page and then “Training Centers” under the “Resources” tab for the contact person for your closest training center.
Since hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles contain a high voltage battery, there is the risk of electric shock, electric leakage or similar accidents if the high voltage component and vehicle are handled incorrectly. Be sure to follow the correct work procedures when performing inspection and maintenance.
NOTE: Requirements include current certifications as well as upcoming e-learning and instructor-led courses.
