Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Identify and confirm faults |
1.1. Use controlling body rules, category rules, supplementary regulations and team requirements to specify task requirements, including configuration, equipment, quality and quantities 1.2. Access and interpret benchmark specifications for a correctly functioning fuel system 1.3. Observe workplace health and safety (WHS) requirements, including regulatory requirements, equipment and system isolation requirements, and personal protection needs, throughout the work 1.4. Examine the details of the fault and document available preliminary information 1.5. Identify the effects of the fault and confirm from direct and/or indirect evidence 1.6. Respond to possible safety impacts of the fault in accordance with regulatory and team obligations and practices |
2. Prepare for fault analysis |
2.1. Identify possible causes of the fault, including intermittent faults from an analysis of technical support information and available onboard diagnostic systems 2.2. Develop the most appropriate analysis process, including sequence, tests and testing equipment, and select from the range of available options 2.3. Obtain test equipment and prepare for the application in accordance with regulatory, manufacturer and team requirements 2.4. Select and prepare tooling and materials required to support the diagnostic process |
3. Analyse faults and determine repair/performance enhancement strategies |
3.1. Follow the selected analysis process in accordance with technical specifications and directions and/or the locally authorised method 3.2. Conduct test using testing equipment in accordance with regulatory requirements and manufacturer/component supplier specifications 3.3. Verify test results and other diagnostic findings, if necessary, and use reliable alternative or optional processes 3.4. Obtain authority to partly dismantle components, to permit an accurate inspection of analysed faults, if required 3.5. Draw valid conclusions about the cause, and draw the direct and indirect consequences of the fault from available evidence and document to team requirements 3.6. Research technical support information to identify options for rectifying the fault or enhancing performance 3.7. Select the most appropriate option from an analysis of the options, the prevailing circumstances, regulatory requirements and team policies 3.8. Document and communicate the selected repairs/modifications or adaptation of equipment to appropriate persons, including the analysis outcome and repair requirements |
4. Conduct repairs/implement performance improvement strategies |
4.1. Carry out repairs and adjustments to components/sub-assemblies in accordance with manufacturer/component supplier specifications for methods, equipment used and tolerances relative to the system 4.2. Conduct post-repair checks and vehicle start-up |
5. Clean up work area and finalise documentation |
5.1. Clean, maintain and prepare equipment and tooling for future use and store in accordance with manufacturer/component supplier specifications and team requirements 5.2. Remove surplus and unserviceable components in accordance with team procedures 5.3. Report problems with the work area or the operation of the equipment to appropriate persons 5.4. Record work/vehicle documentation |
