• This is an open book assessment and will be conducted at your designated campus / workshop /
specialised lab.
• Your Assessor will use the assessment criteria in this document and will provide feedback / comment.
• You must answer all the questions in the assessment tasks in your own words and own handwriting.
• Your Trainer / Assessor will inform you of the due date for this assessment task.
• Your Assessor will grade as either S – Satisfactory or NS – Not Satisfactory for the assessment. In all cases
your Assessor will provide you with feedback.
• Only when all assessment tasks have been graded as S – Satisfactory you will be deemed C – Competent
in the final result of the unit of competency; if you do not satisfactorily complete all the assessment tasks
you will be deemed NYC – Not Yet Competent.
Re-Assessment Conditions
• If the evidence is graded as NS – Not Satisfactory you will be required to re-submit the evidence. In this
case, you will be provided with clear and constructive feedback based on the assessment decision so that
they can improve your skills / knowledge prior to reassessment.
• Where a ‘NS – Not Satisfactory’ judgement is made, you will be given guidance on steps to take to improve
your performance and provided the opportunity to resubmit evidence to demonstrate competence. The
assessor will determine and discuss the reasons for NS – Not satisfactory on any of the criteria and will
assess you through a different method of assessment e.g. verbal/oral questioning, problem solving
exercises.
• You will be notified between 10-30 working days of undertaking an assessment of their result in achieving
competency o If a student does not complete the assessment, they should notify their trainer as to why
they did not complete the assessment and if due to illness, a medical certificate must be produced.
o In the above scenario, student will be given an opportunity for reassessment within 5 working days
with no reassessment fee charged.
o Students who are deemed to be Not Yet Competent (NYC) will be provided with information
identifying the areas in which they failed to achieve competency. Students will then have the
opportunity to repeat the assessment task within 5 working days of notification with no
reassessment fee charged.
o If a student is deemed NYC in the reassessment or if the student did not approach the AIBT’s
within five working days with a valid reason for not availing themselves of the reassessment
opportunity, then those students will be given a final chance to re-sit the assessment and will be
charged a reassessment fee as per AIBT rule.
o After this no further reassessment attempt will be provided to the student and the student will be
required to repeat the whole unit with full fee for the unit. The student will be made aware of the
impact of repeating the unit may have on their student visa. o If a student is found to be
cheating or plagiarising their assessment, a reassessment fee will be charged for reassessing the
assessment within 5 working days.
 o If the student is found to be plagiarising or cheating again after conclusion of the Intervention
meeting with the Course Co-ordinator, the matter will be referred to the Academic Management
Committee which may result in the suspension or cancellation of their enrolment o AIBT’s
has intervention strategies, including student support services available to enable students to
complete qualification in the expected time frame. Students at risk of not completing within this time
frame are identified as early as possible and an intervention strategy is put in place.

voltage to turn a circuit on, the on-time ______noise____ is the upward pulse. One complete cycle is
____measured______ from one on-time pulse to the _____beginning_____ of the next on-time pulse.
To _____test_____ an actuator, you need to know what it ______basically____ is. Most actuators are
_____solenoids_____. The computer controls the _____action_____ of the solenoid by controlling the pulse
______waveform____ of the control signal. You can see the _____turning_____ on and off of the solenoid by
______watching____ the control signal. The voltage ______pulse____ are caused by the discharge of the
coil in the solenoid. Some actuators are controlled pulse-width ______frequency____ signals. These signals
show a changing pulse width. These _____devices_____ are controlled by varying the pulse width, signal
______frequency____, and voltage levels.
Both _____energies_____ should be checked for amplitude, time, and _____shape_____. You should also
____observe______ changes to the pulse width as operating _______modulated___ change. A
____bad______ waveform will have _____spikes____, glitches, or rounded corners. You should be able to
see ______conditions____ that the actuator immediately turns ____off______ and on according to the
commands of the computer.

57. The computer controls the action of the solenoid by controlling the pulse width of the control signal.

58. What would be the conditions that DTC P0115 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Malfunction can be logged
as a fault in the engine management system? Consult the manufactures workshop manual. To answer the
following question, follow link:
http://www.testroete.com/car/Toyota/celica/repair%20information/repair%20manual/05%20%20Diagnostics/
11.pdf
The P0115 code is logged once the PCM detects an erratic or irrational input signal coming from the engine coolant
temperature (ECT) sensor circuit. It can also be logged if the PCM senses an unusually high or low voltage from the
ECT sensor circuit.

59. What are the conditions for running DTC P0171 System Too Lean (Bank 1)? Consult the manufactures
workshop manual. To answer the

The P0171 OBD-II code means that, on the first bank of the engine,the
fuel system is running weak or a vacuum leak exists near this side of the
engine. A lean condition occurs when the engine either receives too little
fuel or too much air.
