Why NVH Kits Are Essential for EV Diagnostics

Without the familiar background noise of an internal combustion engine, sounds and vibrations that may previously have gone unnoticed can become much more apparent. While electric drivetrains introduce new frequencies and potential sources of NVH.

Our latest article explores what this means for technicians and how data-driven NVH testing can help isolate the source of difficult noise and vibration complaints.

Developing a practical understanding of automotive sensors, actuators and communication networks requires access to accurate reference data and signal characteristics.

PicoScope Automotive software includes comprehensive guided tests covering charging systems, position sensors, ignition, digital communication, pressure analysis and EV systems. Technicians and apprentices can run the software in Demo Mode to review sensor operation, connection methods, expected voltage ranges, and fault-finding procedures without hardware connected.

Wheel bearing replaced... the noise is still there.

Engine mount changed... the vibration hasn't gone away.

No fault codes, but the customer knows something isn't right.

NVH faults are some of the most expensive and time-consuming problems a workshop can face.

In this article, we look at how NVH diagnostics helps technicians move beyond guesswork, reduce unnecessary parts replacement and achieve more first-time fixes.
