AURE321271A: Service and repair electronic drive management systems

Element

Key Competency

• Electronic control automatic transmissions and 4WD drivelines such as automatic free wheeling hubs, differentials and axle locks

• Electronic drive management systems include electronically controlled automatic transmissions and electronically controlled 4WD drivelines such as automatic free wheeling hubs, differentials and anti lock braking systems
• Electronic drive management systems may be fitted to light vehicles, plant, heavy vehicles and outdoor power equipment
• Service and repair methods include diagnosis and determining faults, pre- and post-repair testing of system and component operation, service and repair/replacement of system components, service and repair adjustments, removal, dismantling, reassembly and refitting, retrieval and assessment of electronic systems data, including fault codes
• Critical precautions include manufacturer/component supplier procedures which must be applied as poor working practices are likely to damage electronic system ECU and/or other components

• Work requires individuals to demonstrate some judgement and problem-solving skills in managing own work activities and contributing to a productive team environment
• Work is carried out in accordance with award provisions

• OH&S requirements are to be in accordance with legislation/regulations/codes of practice and enterprise safety policies and procedures. This may include protective clothing and equipment, use of tooling and equipment, workplace environment and safety, handling of material, use of fire fighting equipment, enterprise first aid, hazard control and hazardous materials and substances
• Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation/regulation/codes of practice and workplace policies and practices
• Safe operating procedures are to include, but are not limited to the conduct of operational risk assessment and treatments associated with vehicular movement, toxic substances, electrical safety, machinery movement and operation, manual and mechanical lifting and shifting, working in proximity to others and site visitors
• Emergency procedures related to this unit are to include but may not be limited to emergency shutdown and stopping of equipment, extinguishing fires, enterprise first aid requirements and site evacuation

• Environmental requirements are to include but are not limited to waste management, noise, dust and clean-up management

• Quality requirements are to include, but are not limited to regulations, including Australian Standards, internal company quality policy and standards and enterprise operations and procedures

• Statutory/regulatory authorities may include Federal, State and local authorities administering the acts, regulations and codes of practice

• Tooling and equipment may include hand tooling, testing equipment, including multimeters, power tooling, air tooling, specialist tooling for removal/adjustment and specialist system testers

• Materials may include spare parts and cleaning material

• Communications are to include, but are not limited to verbal and visual instructions and fault reporting and may include site specific instructions, written instructions, plans or instructions related to job/task, telephones and pagers

• Information sources may include, but are not limited to verbal or written and graphical instructions, signage, work schedules/plans/specifications, work bulletins, memos, material safety data sheets, diagrams or sketches
• Safe work procedures related to the service and repair of electronic drive management systems
• Regulatory/legislative requirements pertaining to automotive industry, including Australian Design Rules
• Engineer’s design specifications and instructions
• Organisation work specifications and requirements
• Instructions issued by authorised enterprise or external persons
• Australian Standards

• It is essential that competence in this unit signifies ability to transfer competence to changing circumstances and to respond to unusual circumstances in the critical aspects of:
• observing safety procedures and requirements
• communicating effectively with others involved in or affected by the work
• selecting methods and techniques appropriate to the circumstances
• completing preparatory activity in a systematic manner
• testing, inspecting and evaluating electronic drive management systems
• diagnosing and determining the repair/replacement requirements to rectify faults
• servicing/repairing electronic drive management systems to manufacturer/component supplier requirements
• completing mandatory service and repair methods listed in the range statement
• completing the work within agreed time
• completing workplace and equipment documents

• Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role

• A working knowledge of:
• OH&S regulations/requirement, equipment, material and personal safety requirements
• operating principles of electronic drive management systems
• construction and operation of electronic drive management systems
• types and layout of service/repair manuals (hard copy and electronic)
• relationship to other electronically controlled systems, including shared components (e.g. ECU, sensors)
• testing, diagnosis and fault determination procedures
• servicing/repairing, removal, replacement and adjustment procedures relevant to application
• work organisation and planning processes
• enterprise quality processes

• Application of competence is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated worksite
• Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints
• Assessment is to comply with regulatory requirements, including Australian Standards

• Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the automotive industry’s RS&R Training Package
• Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance together with application of underpinning knowledge
• Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on underpinning knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of key competencies
• Assessment may be applied under project related conditions and require evidence of process
• Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competence is able to be under the particular circumstance, and is able to be transferred to other circumstances
• It is preferable that assessment reflects a process rather than an event and occurs over a period of time to cover varying quality circumstances. Evidence of performance may be provided by customers, team leaders/members or other persons subject to agreed authentication arrangements

• The following resources should be made available:
• workplace location or simulated workplace
• material relevant to the service and repair of electronic drive management systems
• equipment, hand and power tooling appropriate to the service and repair of electronic drive management systems
• activities covering mandatory task requirements
• specifications and work instructions
