Diagnose, service and repair automotive cooling systems.
Indicators for this outcome
| (a) | Identify and follow safe work practices (e.g., check coolant pressure and temperature) when working with automotive cooling systems, including maintaining a clean and organized work area. |
| (b) | Demonstrate the proper procedures for disposal of used coolants and explain potential environmental concerns associated with antifreeze disposal. |
| (c) | Describe how cooling systems remove and dissipate heat from engines, including the role of antifreeze. |
| (d) | Explain the function of the components of a liquid cooling system. |
| (e) | Compare the operation of liquid and air cooling systems. |
| (f) | Perform common cooling system tests (e.g., visual inspection, pressure tests, leak detection and coolant tests) and maintenance procedures (e.g., checking fluid levels and flushing the cooling system). |
| (g) | Diagnose and perform common automotive cooling system repairs such as removing and replacing belts, radiator, water pump and thermostat. |
| (h) | Fill automotive coolant systems according to specifications and purge air from systems where required. |
