• 1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
• 1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
• 1.4Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions

2 Prepare for service or maintenance task

• 2.1Check service and operational records and discuss operational history with operator where relevant
• 2.2Identify control and bus systems used in mobile or stationary plant and locate control units and modules
• 2.3Inspect plant for obvious damage or wear to control units, modules or circuits
• 2.4Identify and select diagnostic benchmarks, methods, sequence, tests and testing processes according to manufacturer specification and workplace requirements

3 Perform diagnostic tests on electronic controlling systems

• 3.1Operate plant or equipment and undertake visual, aural and functional checks for obvious faults, including checking for warning gauges, lights and alerts
• 3.2Access and interpret fault codes, live data and freeze frame data using appropriate test procedures and equipment and precautions to safeguard electronic components and systems
• 3.3Interpret fault codes and other diagnostic test results to determine controlling systems requiring rectification
• 3.4Trace faults from fault codes using specified troubleshooting procedures
• 3.5Determine if fault is related to wiring, interference, components, modules or individual system controller
• 3.6Determine root cause of faults

4 Rectify faulty electronic controlling systems

• 4.1Rectify faults through repair, replacement or reprogramming to required specification
• 4.2Clear fault codes from memory according to SOPs
• 4.3Test controlling system and components for correct operation
• 4.4Make adjustments, as required, to mechanical clearances and measured electrical and resistance values

5 Change operating parameters

• 5.1Source appropriate specifications from plant/equipment identification and applicable manuals and specifications
• 5.2Select and use appropriate tooling (software/hardware)
• 5.3Obtain relevant security codes using plant/equipment identification
• 5.4Download, enter and verify data for new specifications

What does an assessment tool for MEM27016 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM27016 needs to address all 51 unit components: 5 elements with 22 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 20 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 MEM27016?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM27016 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 MEM27016 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM27016 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 MEM27016, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
