Release 1	New unit of competency.

Performance Evidence

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in the unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

inspect, test and service three different vehicle, vessel or machinery starting systems, in which the work must involve checking:

starter motor and solenoid

ignition switch to starter control circuit

battery to starter motor wiring.

Knowledge Evidence

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to inspecting, testing and servicing starting systems, including procedures for:

selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE), including clothing, and eye and hand protection

working safely with high current electrical systems

environmental requirements, including procedures:

found in safety data sheets (SDS) relating to toxic and corrosive substances

for recycling and disposing of replaced starting system components

identification and function of starting system components, including:

starter motor

starter solenoid

starter control circuits, including:

key ignition

push button start

proximity transponder

automatic stop and start systems

immobiliser

interlocks

basic operating principles of starting systems, including:

changing electrical energy to mechanical energy

mechanical advantage between ring gear and flywheel

basic circuit operation

inspection procedures for starting systems, including visual, aural and functional assessments of:

component damage and wear

component corrosion

testing procedures for starting systems, including:

accessing electrical terminals and using test probes without damaging connectors, fuse holders or wiring

measuring starting system current draw

servicing procedures for starting systems, including cleaning and tightening terminals

post-service testing procedures, including confirming that starting system is operating to manufacturer specifications.

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 starting systems that they have inspected, tested and serviced, 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 starting system specifications

PPE, including clothing, and eye and hand protection

three different vehicles, vessels or machinery with starting systems requiring servicing

tools and equipment appropriate for inspecting, testing and servicing starting systems, including load tester, inductive ammeter and multimeter.
