91 faults across two drives
The most complex fault matrix in the program: an internal combustion engine and a high-voltage drive system in the same vehicle, with many faults across multiple levels.
Art. No. 79 406 500 · Training Vehicle
Training Vehicle Plug-in Hybrid (GTE)
Two powertrains in one vehicle and 91 faults that can be switched off — the internal combustion engine, high-voltage powertrain, and charging system combined, with the high-voltage battery exposed and visible behind a transparent cover. Also included are the test reports for insulation resistance and equipotential bonding.

The difference in diagnostics
Wired in series. Not just tapped in parallel.
The breakout box is connected directly to the control unit; the wires run through test sockets there, many of them through 4 mm bridge plugs. The components carry pin-outs. You measure the signal at the control unit and at the component, open the line and test it – and measure current right in the panel. That is full diagnostics.
Fault in the wire, connector, component – or the control unit?
1 · At the control unit: 4.8 V – the control unit delivers.2 · Fault switched on – at the component pin-out: 0 V.3 · Bridge plug pulled, box ↔ pin-out tested: wire open.4 · Ammeter instead of bridge plug: current right in the panel.
- 01Measure at the control unit
The breakout box sits directly at the control unit: here you see the signal it outputs – e.g. 4.8 V.
- 02Measure at the component
Measure at the component pin-out. If 0 V arrives there, the fault is between box and component.
- 03Open and test the line
Pull the 4 mm bridge plug and test the wire from box to pin-out with an ohmmeter: open – fault located.
- 04Measure current
Where a wire runs through a bridge plug, an ammeter simply replaces the plug.
Parallel tapping systems are simpler to build – and cheaper. But they only show that a fault exists, not where. Only a breakout box at the control unit plus pin-outs at the component enables full diagnostics – voltage, continuity and current on every wire with a bridge plug.
Why this trainer
What it does in the classroom.
Four points where the Training Vehicle Plug-in Hybrid (GTE) differs from a diagram — you measure on the trainer, not on the drawing.
The interface is the learning content
In a plug-in hybrid, diagnostics depend on which powertrain is currently active—that is exactly what is practiced here, rather than on two separate systems.
The Battery You're Allowed to See
The high-voltage battery is exposed and visible behind a transparent cover. The high-voltage measuring sockets provide the actual voltage at a significantly reduced current; all measuring sockets are numbered and color-coded to distinguish between low and high voltage.
Your existing equipment comes along
With TPGO, the courses are also compatible with your existing THEPRA devices—your existing equipment remains in use. Anyone who purchases a 4.0 device with TPGO today can also use it with the older trainers in their facility.

E-Learning · TPGO
The course for the trainer.
On every screen.
The Training Vehicle Plug-in Hybrid (GTE) comes with a complete course on TPGO. It runs in the browser — tablet, phone, computer. The tasks walk through the same measurements the apprentice takes on the trainer: first the assumption, then the series of readings, then the comparison.
