1.2 Source and interpret task information

1.3 Identify hazards associated with the work and manage risks

1.4 Select and check tools and equipment for safe and required operation

1.5 Plan work to identify disassembly and testing methods, minimise waste, and use time efficiently

2. Disassemble components

2.1 Disassemble components according to workplace procedures, manufacturer specifications, and safety and environmental requirements

2.2 Check disassembled components for damage or wear against manufacturer specifications

3. Clean components

3.1 Determine cleaning procedure from manufacturer specifications, safety data sheets (SDS), and workplace procedures

3.2 Clean components using approved cleaning products, materials and equipment according to safety and environmental requirements

4. Test components

4.1 Test component to determine required operation and quality standard

4.2 Determine repair or replacement of component according to test results and workplace procedures

5. Complete work processes

  • location and content of service and repair manuals
  • component checking and testing methods and techniques, including:
  • component disassembly and reassembly
  • cleaning methods
  • procedures for final inspection of vehicle component operation.

Assessment Conditions

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 vehicle units and components that they have tested, 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
  • vehicle service and repair manuals
  • PPE required to remove and test vehicle components
  • SDS for cleaning agents
  • cleaning agents
  • vehicle components that require testing for correct operation, including:
  • three different vehicle mechanical components
  • three different vehicle electrical components, including head light assembly
  • tools, equipment and materials appropriate for testing vehicle components.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
