Observation Task Scenario Task 1 For this task, you will be observed analysing and evaluating a fault in the steering system of a light vehicle: The customer drives a vehicle into the workshop with concern that Vehicle makes loud groaning noise while turning. Task 2 For this task, you will be observed analysing and evaluating a fault in the suspension system of a light vehicle: The customer complains about the bumpy ride while driving and notices vibration and wandering of the steering wheel when driving at40km/hour or more. Hint: The workshop manual’s flow chart reflects “suspension system” as the top priority cause. Task 3 For this task, you will be observed analysing and evaluating a fault in the steering system of a light vehicle: Customer complaint, steering wheel is becoming hard and making grinding noise while making turns. The steering wheel is also operating very rough has power steering fluid leaks.

Student Instructions • Your trainer will direct you to a vehicle (Simulated) to work on. • You should access and interpret manufacturer specifications and other technical
information relating to light vehicle steering and suspension system from the workplace documents provided.
• Make sure you identify any hazards while performing the task. Manage the obvious risks and use appropriate control measures.
• You must follow WHS requirements at all times, including proper use of PPE. • Choose, prepare and collect all the necessary tools and equipment required for analysis
and follow steps to ensure they are operational before use. • Identify and confirm the purpose of the analysis. • Collect vehicle information and specification. Identify and confirm faults and
discrepancies. • Develop evaluative criteria for analysis. • Follow the repair manual and prepare for the diagnostic procedure. • Identify the components for analysing the cause of faults in steering and suspension
systems of a light vehicle (simulated) • Identify diagnostic method from available options and undertake all the steps involved in
performing the failure analysis which may involve checking the following: o present trouble shoot method according to manufacturer specification to carry out
failure analysis o present testing procedure used for relevant components following all safety and
environmental requirements o while performing testing you should also complete measurements, calculate analytical
requirements wherever required, calibrate testing equipment and present analytical results
o confirm your findings using reliable process, for instance replacing the faulty component and check if the symptoms still present
o compare the readings with repair manual o analyse the symptoms and arrive at conclusion o identify the nature and cause of fault as a component failure or system failure o provide various possible suggestions to resolve the issue and choose the best possible
option after taking into account different variants such as time, cost and available resources
o be sure to pay attention to any regulatory requirement and Australian design rules that may need to be addressed while making recommendations
• Validate the work to meet workplace expectations by undertaking a final inspection and making sure there are no damages to the components or systems.
• Outline recommendations based on the analysis. • Clean up the work area and maintain equipment following workshop procedures including
disposal of waste and non-recyclable material, and collection of recyclable material. • Check and store all electrical and mechanical tools and equipment upon completion of
work in accordance with procedures to handle broken tools. You should accurately fill out the document when reporting failure analysis. The report should be written legibly (be easy to read).
