COURSE UNITS
AURTTA021 Diagnose complex system faults
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose faults in complex vehicle, vessels or machinery systems to determine the repair action necessary to restore system performance. It involves confirming the existence of a complex system fault, choosing the required diagnostic procedure and tools, applying the diagnostic procedure, reporting conclusions, and making repair recommendations.
A complex system integrates two or more automotive systems, or incorporates three or more mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical or electronic sub-systems. Examples include electronically controlled automatic transmissions, anti-lock braking systems, and engine management systems integrating ignition, fuel and transmission control systems.
AURETR037 Diagnose complex faults in light vehicle safety systems
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose complex faults in light vehicle or light commercial vehicle embedded network safety systems and determines the repair action necessary to restore system performance. It involves confirming the existence of a fault, choosing the diagnostic procedure and tools, applying the diagnostic procedure, reporting conclusions and making repair recommendations.
AURLTB104 Diagnose complex faults in light vehicle braking
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose complex faults in light vehicle braking systems and determine the repair action necessary to restore system performance. It involves confirming the existence of a fault, choosing the diagnostic procedure and tools, applying the diagnostic procedure, reporting conclusions and making repair recommendations.
AURLTD109 Diagnose complex faults in light vehicle steering and suspension systems
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose complex faults in light vehicle steering and suspension systems and determine the repair action necessary to restore system performance. It involves confirming the existence of a fault, choosing the diagnostic procedure and tools, applying the diagnostic procedure, reporting conclusions and making repair recommendations.
Complex faults are outside the normal scope of a technician’s diagnosis and repair work. They include intermittent faults, multi-system faults, faults introduced as a result of system repairs, and indirect faults caused by the influence of external systems, requiring the application of complex diagnostic processes to resolve.
The steering and suspension systems include those of light vehicles or light commercial vehicles.
AURLTE104 Diagnose complex faults in light vehicle petrol engines
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose complex faults in light vehicle petrol engines and determine the repair action necessary to restore system performance. It involves confirming the existence of a fault, choosing the diagnostic procedure and tools, applying the diagnostic procedure, reporting conclusions and making repair recommendations.
It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The petrol engines include those of light vehicles or light commercial vehicles.
AURLTE105 Diagnose complex faults in light vehicle diesel engines
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose complex faults in light vehicle diesel engines and determine the repair action necessary to restore system performance. It involves confirming the existence of a fault, choosing the diagnostic procedure and tools, applying the diagnostic procedure, reporting conclusions and making repair recommendations.
AURTTA125 Diagnose complex faults in vehicle integrated stability control systems
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose complex faults in the integrated stability control systems of vehicles or machinery, and determine the repair action necessary to restore system performance. It involves confirming the existence of a fault, choosing the diagnostic procedure and tools, applying the diagnostic procedure, reporting conclusions and making repair recommendations.
The stability control systems include those of agricultural machinery, heavy commercial vehicles, light vehicles, mobile plant machinery or motorcycles.
AURTTR101 Diagnose complex faults in engine management systems
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose complex faults in engine management systems and determine the repair action necessary to restore system performance. It involves confirming the existence of a fault, choosing the diagnostic procedure and tools, applying the diagnostic procedure, reporting conclusions and making repair recommendations.
The engine management systems include those in vehicles from all sectors of the industry.
AURLTX104 Diagnose complex faults in light vehicle automatic transmission and driveline systems
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to diagnose complex faults in light vehicle automatic transmission and driveline systems, including drive shafts and final drives, and determine the repair action necessary to restore system performance. It involves confirming the existence of a fault, choosing the diagnostic procedure and tools, applying the diagnostic procedure, reporting conclusions and making repair recommendations. Complex faults are outside the normal scope of a technician’s diagnosis and repair work. They include intermittent faults, multi-system faults, faults introduced as a result of system repairs, and indirect faults caused by the influence of external systems, requiring the application of complex diagnostic processes to resolve.
AURETD101 Diagnose and repair electronically controlled steering systems
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to diagnose and repair electronically controlled steering systems. These systems include two-wire high and low speed (CAN-bus) and single wire low speed (LIN-bus) networked circuits in the embedded network electronic control system of a vehicle or machinery. The systems used vary based on the work context. The unit involves preparing for the task, sourcing a diagnostic testing strategy, diagnosing the cause of the fault, carrying out the repair, performing post-repair testing, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
