MITO Heavy Auto L4 study plan

Map the Automotive domain blueprint into a checklist of every listed system area before touching study material

Explain, in writing, how a heavy diesel engine's air, fuel, and exhaust paths interact during a regeneration event

Label a hand-drawn diagram of a heavy-truck air brake circuit from compressor to foundation brakes

Define the inspection limits you would apply to brake chamber pushrod travel and lining thickness

Diagnose three written fault scenarios involving aftertreatment and EGR faults using a symptom-cause-test sequence

Distinguish electrical circuit faults (open, short to ground, high resistance) from component failures in five written cases

Describe how to interpret J1939 fault codes and data link symptoms without a scan tool present

Calculate basic electrical values (voltage drop, resistance, current draw) for given circuit examples

Compare hydraulic, air-over-hydraulic, and full-air braking behaviour under fade and failure conditions

Explain steering and suspension geometry faults and how each presents as tyre wear or handling complaint

Sequence the steps for diagnosing a driveline vibration from complaint to confirmed cause

Identify the safety and compliance implications of releasing a vehicle with a known defect

Consolidate Automotive weak areas flagged in weeks 1-3 into a ranked revision list

Explain heavy vehicle mass, dimension, and axle-loading limits and how they affect loading decisions

Describe load restraint principles and when a restraint method is inadequate

Interpret a written load distribution scenario and identify the compliance breach

Summarise driver work and rest requirements and apply them to three written duty rosters

Explain fatigue management obligations for schedulers and drivers, not just drivers

Identify which records must be kept, for how long, and who may inspect them

Distinguish offences that attach to the driver from those that attach to the operator

Describe the chain of responsibility and give a concrete example of liability for each party in the chain

Explain vehicle standards, maintenance obligations, and defect reporting duties for operators

Outline incident response duties after a heavy vehicle crash, including evidence preservation

Compare the regulatory consequences of a minor defect versus a major defect finding

Apply dangerous goods segregation and placarding rules to two written load scenarios

Explain driver licensing, competency, and medical fitness requirements for heavy combinations

Revisit the two Automotive topics you scored lowest on and rebuild them from first principles

Practise explaining a technical answer out loud in under 60 seconds

Sit two full-length timed practice exams under exam conditions with no notes

Review every incorrect answer and classify the cause as knowledge gap, misread, or reasoning error

Drill only the highest-frequency error categories identified in review

Confirm exam-day logistics, timing strategy, and question-flagging approach
