What an assessment for AURLTD109 must cover

66 assessable components: 4 elements (13 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 38 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Identify and confirm the work requirement

  • 1.1Identify job requirements from workplace instructions
  • 1.2Confirm nature of fault according to workplace procedures
  • 1.3Identify hazards and environmental issues associated with diagnose and repair activity, assess potential risks and implement control measures in line with workplace policies and procedures

2 Prepare to diagnose complex faults

  • 2.1Identify required information for diagnosis activity
  • 2.2Analyse diagnostic options and develop testing strategy, including, diagnostic method sequence, tests and testing processes
  • 2.3Identify tools and equipment required for testing strategy and establish serviceability according to workplace procedures

3 Apply diagnostic procedures

  • 3.1Implement diagnostic tests set out in testing strategy according to manufacturer and workplace procedures, and workplace health and safety requirements
  • 3.2Verify and report diagnostic findings using reliable alternative process according to manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
  • 3.3Develop and report recommendations for necessary repairs according to workplace procedures
  • 3.4Communicate findings to workplace supervisor and customer and confirm next steps

4 Complete work processes

  • 4.1Conduct final inspection according to workplace procedures and confirm vehicle is ready for repair process or return to customer
  • 4.2Clear work area and dispose of or recycle materials according to workplace procedures
  • 4.3Complete documentation according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

  • diagnose a complex fault in the following three systems:
  • steering system of a light vehicle
  • suspension system of a different light vehicle
  • steering or suspension system of a third light vehicle
  • the above work must involve developing a testing strategy to diagnose the cause of at least two of the following types of complex faults:
  • an intermittent fault
  • a fault that affects more than one system
  • a fault introduced as a result of a system repair
  • an indirect fault caused by the influence of external systems

Knowledge evidence

  • methods to locate and interpret information required to diagnose complex faults in light vehicle steering and suspension systems, including:
  • light vehicle steering and suspension system manufacturer specifications
  • workplace procedures required to diagnose complex faults in light vehicle steering and suspension systems, including:
  • establishing the serviceability of tools and equipment
  • documentation procedures
  • housekeeping procedures, including:
  • examination of tools and equipment
  • storage of equipment
  • identification, tagging and isolation of faulty equipment
  • safe disposal of materials
  • recycling procedures
  • workplace health and safety (WHS) requirements relating to diagnosing complex faults in light vehicle steering and suspension systems, including procedures for working with:
  • stored energy in springs, air springs and torsion bars
  • high pressure and high temperature steering system fluids
  • environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of fluids released from steering and suspension systems
  • types of complex faults relating to light vehicle steering and suspension systems, including:
  • intermittent
  • multi-system
  • introduced as a result of system repair
  • indirect, caused by the influence of external systems
  • types, and key features of light vehicle steering and suspension systems, including:
  • hydraulic power assisted steering
  • electric power assisted steering
  • active suspension
  • adaptive suspension
  • testing procedures for light vehicle steering and suspension systems, including procedures for:
  • vehicle dynamic and static testing
  • abnormal noise analysis
  • component failure analysis
  • types, and key features of diagnostic testing equipment required to diagnose complex faults in light vehicle steering and suspension systems
  • procedures for accessing and interpreting scan tool system data, including:
  • diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), including:
  • conditions that set the DTCs
  • conditions for running DTCs
  • live data
  • freeze frame data
  • waveforms
  • vehicle continuous and non-continuous monitored systems

Foundation skills

  • Learning: Locates required sources of information efficiently; Develops own approach to a task, including steps to confirm findings.
  • Reading: Interprets workplace instructions such as job cards; Identifies, organises and interprets technical information from manufacturer and workshop literature when seeking steering and suspension system specifications and procedures.
  • Oral communication: Clarifies instructions; Obtains information from customers and supervisors.
  • Numeracy: Measures steering and suspension system components and uses mathematical operations, to calculate tolerances and deviations from manufacturer specifications; Uses electrical measuring equipment and interpret units, such as amperes, ohms, and volts.
  • Planning and organising: Plans own work requirements; Prioritises and sequences actions to achieve required outcomes; Ensures tasks are completed within workplace timeframes.
  • Technology: Uses specialised diagnostic equipment.

Questions about assessing AURLTD109

What does an assessment tool for AURLTD109 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURLTD109 needs to address all 66 unit components: 4 elements with 13 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 38 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for AURLTD109?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURLTD109 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for AURLTD109 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURLTD109 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of AURLTD109, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
