Assessment requirements
Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes but is not equivalent to MEM20013 Service automotive transponder systems.
Performance Evidence
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include:
- following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
- interpreting information specific for servicing automotive transponder systems, including binary and hexadecimal code
- questioning, confirming and clarifying customer requirements
- identifying automotive transponder components and associated equipment and checking functioning of transponder systems
- using appropriate tools and equipment including to service automotive transponder systems
- identifying actual and potential risks and hazards
- establishing program requirements, programming electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) to correct specification, and testing system for conformance on at least two occasions
