Apply Problem Solving Techniques and Tools t o SIXTEEN (16) learning modules covering
SIXTEEN (16) units of competence.
This teacher’s guide covers all SIXTEEN (16) units of competence and it will assist you in delivering
the said program and achieving its learning objectives and outcomes. It also provides information in
the organization of the learning guides and assessment packets. The learning guides are aid to the
trainees by telling them what need to do, when and how to do it and the expectations once the learning
activities are completed. While the assessment packet guide you in developing the tools or
instruments to measure trainee’s overall achievement of the stated competence. Thus it is important
for you to understand the design of this program and the mechanics in which it shall be
delivered.Your role as the teacher is to provide opportunities aimed at helping the trainees develop
and improve their competences. You are expected to guide and assist them as they go through the
learning activities and actual work.

TVET-PROGRAMME TITLE: Automotive Electromechanical Diagnosis Level IV

MODULE TITLE: Diagnosin Faults in safety and drive assist system

MODULE CODE: EIS AED4 M09 1221

NOMINAL DURATION: 60hours
MODULE DESCRIPTION:
This module describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose complex faults in
light –medium duty vehicle petrol engine and light-heavy duty vehicle diesel engines
management in order to initiate action to service, repair, replace or improve performance.
The module involves evaluating system performance and identifying possible operational
anomalies.Faults will be mechanical by nature, requiring the application of complex
diagnostic processes to resolve.
