Unit Code/Name AURTTC001 Inspect and service cooling systems
Pre-requisites N/A
Co-requisites N/A
Unit Summary This unit describes the performance outcomes required to inspect and service air and liquid cooling
systems. It involves preparing for the task, inspecting the system, reporting the inspection findings,
servicing and adjusting the system, reporting the inspection findings, and completing workplace processes
and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The cooling systems include
those of agricultural machinery, heavy commercial vehicles, light vehicles, marine vessels, mobile plant
machinery, motorcycle or outdoor power equipment.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of
publication.
Conditions
and context
of the
assessments
This assessment will be conducted in the CAC classroom or simulated workplace environment.
Address of actual designated workplace if different from CAC venue:
……………………………………………..
……………………………………………..
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects
performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that
links them to the basic electrical circuits they have tested and repaired, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure
correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
▪ automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
▪ workplace instructions
▪ manufacturer cooling system specifications
▪ two different vehicles or machinery with cooling systems requiring servicing
▪ cooling system test equipment
▪ tools, equipment and materials appropriate for inspecting and servicing cooling systems.
Specific Resources
Required
• Learner Guide / Handouts / Text Book
• CAC Assessment Booklet
• automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
• OEM or authorised agency component specifications and repair methods
• workplace instructions
• two different vehicles with damaged systems requiring inspection
Re-assessment To gain competency you need to get Satisfactory (S) result in all the tasks. If Not Satisfactory (NS) result
is given even for a task you will be deemed Not Yet Competent (NYC). Students who are unsuccessful
at achieving competency at the first attempt will be offered coaching, information and additional time
(other needs if required) before a second and possibly a third attempt is made. If the student is not able
to satisfactorily complete the assessment after the third attempt the student will be deemed Not
Competent and resulted as such. The student may re-enrol in the qualification at a later date to gain
successful completion of the unit/s.
For further details, refer to CAC Assessment Policy and Procedure. https://cac.edu.au/policies-and-
procedures/
Plagiarism CAC considers plagiarism and cheating as serious student misconduct, and this may result either in a
student’s exclusion from a unit or course or may have to complete a re-assessment depending on
individual case. Refer to CAC Plagiarism & Cheating Policy and Procedure. https://cac.edu.au/policies-
and-procedures/
Complaints
and appeal
Where a student wishes to appeal an assessment decision they are required to notify their assessor in the
first instance. Where appropriate the assessor may decide to re-assess the student to ensure a fair and
equitable decision is gained. The assessor shall complete a written report regarding the re-assessment
outlining the reasons why assessment was or was not granted. Refer to CAC Complaints and Appeals

4. What are the 2 potential dangers you must look out for when working near heat-activated electric cooling fans?
1. Make sure that the tools, cloths, or any other substance are away from the moving fan.
2. Always wear gloves and protective goggles when working near heat-activated cooling fan, as it
protects an individual from chances of burning, electric shocks and prevents fling objects from
getting into the eye.
5. Which document should you use to find information regarding handling, trapping, storing and disposing of new
or waste coolants? And how should waste coolant be stored and disposed?
