Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose and repair faults in the electric braking systems of vehicle or machinery. These systems are single wire (non CAN-bus) circuits and include electric braking systems in light vehicles and machinery fitted with electric trailer braking controllers or trailers fitted with electric brakes. The unit involves preparing for the task, selecting the correct diagnostic procedure, carrying out the diagnosis and the repair, performing post-repair testing, and completing workplace processes and documentation.It applies to those working in an automotive service and repair industry. Electric braking systems include those in agricultural machinery, heavy commercial vehicles, light vehicles or mobile plant machinery.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
