Technician A says that when you are conducting an inspection or maintenance procedure unrelated to high-voltage circuits, such as the inspection of very low-voltage circuits of the headlamps or wipers, you should turn the power switch to OFF. Technician B says that when there is a risk of electric shock, such as during the removal and installation of the high-voltage battery, motor, inverter, DC-to-DC converter, AC compressor, or electric heater the high-voltage system must be shut off by a Level 2 EV Specialist.

Both technicians A and B

True

Which technician is right? Technician A says that a person can get an electric shock when they are in direct contact with the positive and negative high-voltage battery terminals. Technician B says that a person can get an electric shock when they are in direct contact with the positive high-voltage battery terminal and another part of their body is touching any person or object that is not properly insulated. Technician C says that a person can get an electric shock when they are in direct contact with a high-voltage unit or component in which electricity leakage occurs.
