Introduction

Electric and hybrid vehicles contain high-voltage systems that require specialised handling and safety procedures before repairs can safely take place.

Depower and reinitialise procedures are critical when carrying out:

• Accident repairs
• Electrical repairs
• Battery replacement
• High-voltage servicing

What Is Depowering?

Depowering isolates the vehicle’s high-voltage system to allow safe repair procedures.

This process may involve:

• High-voltage isolation
• Service plug removal
• Battery shutdown procedures
• Safety verification testing

Why Reinitialisation Is Required

After repairs are completed, the system often requires reinitialisation to restore:

• Battery communication
• Charging functionality
• Safety monitoring systems
• Vehicle operation
