WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT
DIAGNOSING AND RECTIFYING LIGHT VEHICLE TRANSMISSION AND
DRIVELINE FAULTS

These are criterion referenced assignments therefore do not have a marking scheme.

Assignment
Select a light vehicle electronically controlled transmission system (manual or automatic).
a. Provide a detailed description of the construction and operation of the system. AC (1.1)
b. Explain a typical electrical/electronic fault found in the system. Include a description of the symptoms
caused by the fault and an explanation of what causes the symptoms. AC (3.1)
c. Explain the systematic diagnostic techniques used to identify the fault. Include the complete
process; from initial inspection through to confirmation of the fault. AC (3.2, 3.3)
d. Explain the types of readings you would expect to find during the diagnostic process and how these
readings would compare to the manufacturers specifications. AC (3.6)
e. Explain the rectification process to correct the fault; include the selection and preparation of any
equipment used, the correction procedure (unit replacement or adjustment) and the evaluation of the
repaired system to confirm performance. AC (3.4, 3.5, 3.7)

Assignment guidance and assessment criteria:
