AURETR021
Inspect, service and repair electronic management, monitoring and tracking systems


Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes required to inspect, service and repair electronic monitoring, management and tracking systems fitted to heavy vehicles or machinery. It involves preparing for the task, inspecting the systems, repairing the systems, and completing workplace processes and documentation, including any associated recommendations for further action.

It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The electronic management, monitoring and tracking systems include those in heavy vehicles, agricultural machinery or mobile plant machinery.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

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 electronic management, monitoring and tracking system that they have inspected, serviced and repaired, 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

manufacturer specifications for electronic management, monitoring and tracking systems

PPE, including clothing, and eye and hand protection

vehicles or machinery with the electronic management, monitoring and tracking systems specified in the performance evidence requiring service or repair

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for inspecting, servicing and repairing electronic management, monitoring and tracking systems, including scan tool.
