Hybrid Drive Systems: Application and ID

Hybrid Vehicle Identification




The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra hybrid trucks have a small badge on the door to identify them as hybrid vehicles.

In the event that you are not able to readily identify the hybrid vehicle badge or caution cables, you will need to inspect any Silverado or Sierra to determine if it is a hybrid truck. Ask yourself:




- Are there 120-volt outlets visible in the bed of the truck?




- Is the vehicle equipped with an SGCM and 3 phase cables?




- Is the APO switch visible on the instrument panel?




- Is the 120-volt harness visible on the bottom of the vehicle?
Note: Orange loom used only by high voltage systems.
