What an assessment for AURHTB106 must cover

30 assessable components: 4 elements (13 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 9 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 Identify and confirm the work requirement

  • 1.1Identify job requirements from workplace instructions
  • 1.2Confirm nature of fault according to workplace procedures
  • 1.3Identify hazards and environmental issues associated with diagnose and repair activity, assess potential risks and implement control measures in line with workplace policies and procedures

2 Prepare to diagnose complex faults

  • 2.1Identify required information for diagnosis activity
  • 2.2Analyse diagnostic options and develop testing strategy, including, diagnostic method sequence, tests and testing processes
  • 2.3Identify tools and equipment required for testing strategy and establish serviceability according to workplace procedures

3 Apply diagnostic procedures

  • 3.1Implement diagnostic tests set out in testing strategy according to manufacturer and workplace procedures, and workplace health and safety requirements
  • 3.2Verify and report diagnostic findings using reliable alternative process according to manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
  • 3.3Develop and report recommendations for necessary repairs according to workplace procedures
  • 3.4Communicate findings to workplace supervisor and customer and confirm next steps

4 Complete work processes

  • 4.1Conduct final inspection according to workplace procedures and confirm vehicle is ready for repair process or return to customer
  • 4.2Clear work area and dispose of or recycle materials according to workplace procedures
  • 4.3Complete documentation according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

  • diagnose a complex fault in each of the following heavy commercial vehicle braking systems: air braking system, air over hydraulic braking system, anti-lock braking system
  • the work must involve developing a testing strategy to diagnose the cause of at least two of the following complex faults: an intermittent fault, a fault that affects more than one system, a fault introduced as a result of a system repair, an indirect fault caused by the influence of external systems

Knowledge evidence

  • methods to locate and interpret information required to diagnose complex faults in heavy commercial vehicle braking systems, including: heavy commercial vehicle braking system manufacturer specifications
  • workplace procedures required to diagnose complex faults in heavy commercial vehicle braking systems, including: establishing the serviceability of tools and equipment; documentation procedures; housekeeping procedures, including: examination of tools and equipment; storage of equipment; identification, tagging and isolation of faulty equipment; safe disposal of materials; recycling procedures
  • workplace health and safety (WHS) requirements relating to diagnosing complex faults in heavy commercial vehicle braking systems, including procedures for: working with stored energy, including pneumatic pressure and spring energy; handling and controlling brake dust and brake fluids
  • environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of hazardous materials and substances released from braking systems, including hydraulic fluid, brake fluid and brake fibres
  • types of complex faults relating to heavy commercial vehicle braking systems, including: intermittent; multi-system; introduced as a result of system repair; indirect, caused by the influence of external systems
  • types and operation of heavy commercial vehicle braking systems, including: air braking systems; hydraulic braking systems; air over hydraulic braking systems; anti-lock braking systems
  • testing procedures for heavy commercial vehicle braking systems, including procedures for: vehicle dynamic and static testing; abnormal noise analysis; component failure analysis
  • key features and limitations of diagnostic testing equipment required to diagnose complex faults in heavy commercial vehicle braking systems
  • procedures for accessing and interpreting scan tool system data, including: diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), including: conditions that set the DTCs; conditions for running DTCs; live data; freeze frame data; waveforms; vehicle continuous and non-continuous monitored systems

Foundation skills

  • Learning: - Locates required sources of information efficiently - Develops own approach to a task, including steps to confirm findings - Applies diagnostic skills to different vehicles or machinery
  • Reading: - Identifies, organises and interprets technical information from manufacturer and workshop literature when seeking braking system specifications and procedures
  • Oral communication: - Clarifies instructions - Obtains information from customers and supervisors
  • Numeracy: - Measures braking system components and uses mathematical operations, to calculate tolerances and deviations from manufacturer specifications
  • Planning and organising: - Plans own work requirements - Prioritises actions to achieve required outcomes - Ensures tasks are completed within workplace timeframes
  • Technology: - Uses precision measuring equipment - Uses specialised testing equipment

Questions about assessing AURHTB106

What does an assessment tool for AURHTB106 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AURHTB106 needs to address all 30 unit components: 4 elements with 13 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 AURHTB106?

Auditori pulls the current release of AURHTB106 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 AURHTB106 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AURHTB106 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 AURHTB106, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
