Diagnose and repair faults on Tram vehicle assets, components, equipment and systems
Overview
This standard is about diagnosing and repairing faults on Tram vehicle assets, components, equipment and systems. You will be able to use fault finding methods and techniques to locate, diagnose and repair faults that involve the following interactive technologies: mechanical, electrical, electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic, fixtures and fittings and ancillary systems. The type and range of problems and faults could be complex and involve the interaction between two or more assets, components, equipment and systems. Fault diagnosis could include continual and intermittent faults and be affected by factors such as environmental, ageing, human error and inherent design problems. From the evidence gained, you will be expected to identify the fault and probable cause. You will be able to confirm the repair activities to be undertaken and carry out these repairs within the limits of your own authority.
Your acquired underpinning knowledge will provide an understanding of your work and an informed approach when applying fault diagnosis procedures within an integrated system. You will understand the various fault diagnosis methods and techniques in use, and their application. You will know how to apply and interpret information obtained from the diagnostic aids and equipment, when carrying out the activities and identifying faults or conditions that are outside the required specification. You will know and understand the interaction of the other associated integrated technologies and will have sufficient knowledge to carry out effective fault diagnosis of the Integrated system.
You will understand the safety precautions required when undertaking fault diagnosis activities, especially when isolating the equipment and taking the necessary safeguards to protect yourself and others in the workplace.
This standard is for those who work in the Tram engineering environment at supervisor/technician level.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
P1 confirm you are wearing the correct PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and following the relevant health and safety procedures
P2 interpret and analyse the received information on the symptoms and problems associated with the Tram vehicle assets, components, equipment and systems
P3 identify the fault finding activities and diagnostic tests to be undertaken in line with organisational procedures
P4 prepare diagnostic tools and equipment in line with organisational procedures
P5 take action to prevent damage or interference with other components, equipment or systems during fault finding activities
P6 select, use and apply diagnostic techniques, tools and aids to locate faults
P7 complete the fault diagnosis within the agreed timelines and inform the relevant stakeholder when this cannot be achieved
P8 investigate and analyse the diagnostic results in order to draw conclusions about the nature and probable cause of the fault
P9 establish the implications of the fault on other work activities and on the safety of the Tram and Tramway environment
P10 confirm the repair activities to be undertaken and the resources required
P11 obtain organisational approval for repair activities to take place
P12 carry out repair activities on Tram vehicle assets, components, equipment and systems in line with organisational procedures
P13 carry out integrity test and checks on the repaired Tram vehicle asset, component, equipment or system to confirm it is functioning correctly
P14 record details on the extent and location of the faults and repairs in line with organisational procedures

Glossary
Tram
Tramcars, tram vehicle, and any other rail vehicles that operate on tramways. It includes one or more trams coupled together and includes non-passenger-carrying vehicles.
* *
Tramway environment
Includes the tramway (a set of rails, switches and crossings which form the route of a Tram) , infrastructure (fixed assets used for the running of the Tram transport system, including, the tramway, bridges, tunnels, stops, stations and fixed equipment for signalling, communications and electrification), depots, stabling yards.
