Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to develop, apply and validate significant modifications to existing network electronic control systems in order to vary or enhance performance. These systems include two-wire high and low speed (CAN-bus) and single wire low speed (LIN-bus) network circuits. The unit involves identifying the modification requirement, developing the modification specifications, applying and testing the modification, and completing workplace processes and documentation. Significant and non-routine modifications are those that require compliance with Australian Design Rules and Vehicle Safety Bulletins.It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The network electronic control systems include those of agricultural machinery, heavy commercial vehicles, light vehicles, marine vessels, mobile plant machinery, motorcycles or outdoor power equipment.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify and confirm the modification requirement
  • 1.1 Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
  • 1.2 Reasons for the modification are identified and confirmed with appropriate persons
  • 1.3 Modification options are identified and reported to appropriate persons according to workplace procedures
  • 1.4 Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
  • 1.5 Legal and safety impacts of the modification are considered, as required, according to regulatory requirements
2. Develop and validate the modification specification
  • 2.1 Manufacturer specifications for the existing network electronic control systems are sourced and interpreted
  • 2.2 Criteria for selecting the modification method and evaluating the outcomes are identified and documented
  • 2.3 Proposed modification method is identified, selected and evaluated from available options
  • 2.4 Selected option, including material choices and processes, is developed in detail and progressively assessed against established criteria
  • 2.5 Modification specification is documented according to workplace procedures
3. Apply and test the modification specification
  • 3.1 Tools, test equipment and materials required to support the modification procedure are identified, selected and prepared for use
  • 3.2 Selected modification method is carried out according to workplace procedures and safety requirements
  • 3.3 Post-modification testing is carried out according to workplace procedures to confirm modification outcomes are as intended, and any problems detected as having been introduced during the modification process are rectified
  • 3.4 Test results and other diagnostic findings are verified, as required, by using reliable alternative or optional processes
  • 3.5 Variations needed during the modification process or as a result of testing are incorporated into the modification specification
  • 3.6 Information and detail relating to the modification are documented and provided to the appropriate parties according to regulatory and commercial obligations
4. Complete work processes
  • 4.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations
  • 4.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected
  • 4.3 Tools and equipment are checked and stored, and any faulty electrical equipment is identified, tagged and isolated according to workplace procedures
  • 4.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
