What an assessment for AURETR131 must cover

31 assessable components: 4 elements (16 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 7 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Prepare to diagnose and repair ignition system

1.1Access workplace instructions to identify job requirements and confirm existence of fault according to workplace procedures
1.2Source and interpret required information for diagnosis activity, including customer complaint, workplace and manufacturer procedures
1.3Source testing strategy to efficiently identify cause of fault using workplace and manufacturer procedures
1.4Identify hazards and environmental issues, assess potential risks and implement control measures in line with workplace policies
1.5Identify diagnostic tools and equipment required for the job and examine them for serviceability

2 Diagnose ignition system

2.1Carry out diagnostic tests according to manufacturer and workplace procedures, and workplace health and safety requirements
2.2Analyse diagnostic test results to identify cause of fault, conducting further tests if required
2.3Confirm and report cause of fault according to workplace procedures
2.4Develop and report recommendations for necessary repairs or adjustments according to workplace procedures

3 Repair ignition system

3.1Source and interpret required information for repair activity, including manufacturer specifications, workplace and manufacturer procedures
3.2Identify repair tools, equipment and materials required for the job and examine for serviceability
3.3Carry out repairs or component replacements and adjustments according to workplace and manufacturer procedures, manufacturer specifications, workplace health and safety and environmental requirements
3.4Carry out post-repair testing according to workplace procedures, workplace health and safety and environmental requirements to confirm fault rectification and repair any issues identified

4 Compete work processes

4.1Carry out final inspection to ensure work meets workplace expectations and vehicle is ready for use
4.2Clear work area and dispose of or recycle materials according to workplace procedures
4.3Complete documentation according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

diagnose and repair a fault in the ignition systems of two different vehicles, vessels or machinery, including faults in two of the following:  magneto with contact points  magneto with solid state trigger  capacitive discharge ignition  distributor with contact points  distributor with hall effect sensor  distributor with induction magnetic trigger  distributor with optical sensor  waste spark  coil on plug
carry out a diagnostic test in the course of the above for at least one of the following faults:  high resistance in an ignition system  loose or damaged connectors or wiring  malfunctioning ignition coils

Questions about assessing AURETR131

What does an assessment tool for AURETR131 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURETR131 needs to address all 31 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 AURETR131?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURETR131 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 AURETR131 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURETR131 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 AURETR131, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
