This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to diagnose complex faults in air conditioning and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and identify the repair action necessary to restore system performance. The systems used vary based on the work context. It involves confirming the existence of a fault, developing a diagnostic testing strategy, diagnosing the cause of the fault, reporting conclusions and making repair recommendations.

Complex faults are outside the normal scope of a technician’s diagnosis and repair work. They include intermittent faults, multi-system faults, faults introduced as a result of system repairs, and indirect faults caused by the influence of external systems, requiring the application of complex diagnostic processes to resolve.

The unit applies to those who work in an automotive service and repair industry. The air conditioning and HVAC systems include those of agricultural machinery, heavy commercial vehicles, light vehicles, marine vessels or mobile plant machinery.

Licensing requirements apply to this unit. Users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority. An Australian Refrigeration Council accredited (ARCtick) Refrigerant Handling licence is required for those carrying out this work.
