Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose and repair faults in the instruments and warning systems of vehicles, vessels or machinery. It involves preparing for the task, selecting the correct diagnostic procedure, carrying out the diagnosis and the repair, performing post-repair testing, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in an automotive service and repair industry. The instruments and warning systems include those in agricultural machinery, heavy commercial vehicles, light vehicles, marine vessels, mobile plant machinery, motorcycles or outdoor power equipment.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

|
|
2. Diagnose instruments and warning system
|
2.1 Diagnostic tests are performed according to workplace procedures and safety requirements without causing damage to components or systems
2.2 Faults are identified from diagnostic test results and causes of faults are determined
2.3 Diagnosis findings and recommendations for necessary repairs or adjustments are reported according to workplace procedures
|
|
3. Repair instruments and warning system
|
3.1 Repair information is sourced and interpreted
3.2 Repair options are analysed and those most appropriate to the circumstances are selected
3.2 Repair tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked according to manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
3.4 Repairs and component replacements and adjustments are carried out according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and safety requirements, and without causing damage to components or systems
3.5 Post-repair testing is carried out according to workplace procedures to confirm fault rectification, and any further problems detected as having been introduced during the repair process are rectified
|
|
4. Compete work processes
|
4.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and vehicle, vessel or machinery is presented ready for use
4.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected
4.3 Tools and equipment are checked and stored and any faulty electrical equipment is identified, tagged and isolated according to workplace procedures
4.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
|
Foundation Skills
This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance and are not explicit in the performance criteria.

Performance Evidence
Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in the unit’s elements and performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
- diagnose and repair a fault in the instruments and warning systems of two different vehicles, vessels or machinery, including faults in two of the following:
- driver instrument warning gauge assembly
- engine monitoring warning assembly
- vehicle warning visual alert assembly
- vehicle warning audible alert assembly
- remove, refit or replace an instrument panel in one vehicle, vessel or machinery.
Knowledge Evidence
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

Assessment Conditions
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the instruments and warning systems that they have worked on, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
- automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
- workplace instructions
- manufacturer instrument and warning system specifications
- two different vehicles, vessels or machinery with instrument and warning system faults
- diagnostic equipment for instruments and warning systems, including multimeter
- tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing vehicle, vessel or machinery instruments and warning systems.
