This module describes the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to perform vehicle panel protection and painting. It is designed for students pursuing Advanced Diploma in automobile technology.
By the end of this module, trainees will be able to identify, select, and use appropriate protection and painting materials, ensuring effective surface preparation. They will acquire skills in removing rust, dents, and trim, applying fillers and putty, sanding surfaces, and conducting pre-painting preparation. Additionally, they will learn proper paint mixing, application, and refinishing techniques to achieve high-quality vehicle finishes.
This module equips students with the competencies necessary to restore and protect vehicle panels, ensuring durability, aesthetics, and compliance with industry standards.
GENERAL INTRODUCTION:
Panel Beating or resize and reshape vehicle panel is a term used by the public to describe the entire repair process but for the trade it describes only part of the process. The parts it describes is the Repair Process that involves, straightening chassis rails and frames, removing and re-welding panels, fixing dents, confirming correct fit & function and other repair based work that is completed prior to paint refinishing. The panel beaters are responsible for ensuring that the shape, fit, function and specifications match that of a vehicle fresh off the factory assembly lineThis Module aims at providing the
student with knowledge and understanding of the construction and operating
principles of all vehicle electrical systems.
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
Classify starter battery into various categories.
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding on the Construction, characteristics and operating principle of starter battery.
Explain the basic operating principle of alternator and its circuits (pre-excitation, excitation and charging)
Repair or replace faulty parts of the alternator using proper assembly procedures.
State the operating principle of different types of voltage regulators
Classify all DC motors and describe their operating principle
Disassemble DC motors, carryout parts inspection and measurement and identify faulty parts.
Identify components of various ignition systems and state their operating principle
Carryout ignition systems inspection and measurements and identify faulty parts
Identify various vehicle lightings and their operating principle
Carryout vehicle lighting system inspection, measurements, maintenance and identify faulty partsThis module describes the skills and knowledge
required to repair vehicle infotainment system. The knowledge acquired from
this module will allow the learner to describe vehicle infotainment system. The
module will allow the participant to perform Diagnose, maintain and repair
vehicle infotainment system components and test vehicle infotainment system in
order to keep comfortable conditioning vehicle.
