Performance Evidence

The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including evidence of the ability to:

diagnose faults in three different vehicles or machinery, in which the work must involve:

using manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures and information obtained from the customer to develop a diagnostic testing strategy

using the diagnostic testing strategy to identify the cause of three of the following faults:

loss of vehicle power

excessive fuel consumption

excessive emissions

poor handling

poor hydraulic system performance

poor pneumatic system performance

incorrect mechanical system performance

incorrect electrical system performance

vibration

abnormal noise

recording the diagnostic procedures followed with the above vehicles or machinery, the cause or causes of faults and the recommended repairs.

Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:

methods of gathering information, including:

questioning customers

effective questioning techniques

research techniques

workplace procedures relating to diagnosing faults, including:

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 vehicles or machinery in which they have diagnosed faults, 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 detailing customer fault complaint

manufacturer vehicle or machinery specifications

three different vehicles or machinery with system faults specified in the performance evidence

tools, equipment and materials required for diagnosing system faults.

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