Release 1	New unit of competency.

Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes required to read and apply technical information in the wiring schematics and drawings of vehicles, vessels and machinery when testing and fault finding electrical wiring systems. It involves preparing for the task, reading and interpreting the schematics and drawings, and completing work processes.

It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The wiring schematics and diagrams include those in electrical systems in agricultural machinery, heavy commercial vehicles, light vehicles, 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.

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section.
1. Prepare to read and apply vehicle wiring schematics and drawings	1.1 Workplace instructions are used to determine job requirements 1.2 Wiring schematics and drawings are sourced that relate to the vehicle, vessel or machinery electrical system being tested 1.3 Schematics and drawings are checked to ensure they are current and include latest amendments
2. Interpret information	2.1 Electrical circuit information in schematics and drawings is correctly identified 2.2 Information is interpreted and applied to assist when carrying out testing and repair procedures on electrical wiring systems
3. Complete work processes	3.1 Schematics and drawings are stored to ensure ease of access and protection from loss or damage 3.2 Damage to schematics and drawings is reported 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.
