What procedure should I follow if the FAS I’m testing was “passed” last year by another technician, but has deficiencies that weren’t noted?
Many jurisdictions have established guidelines and procedures to follow in this instance (if you’re testing in a municipality that subscribes to ASTTBC, you can review their Practice Guidelines). The situation can get complicated if you’re working for the same company as the technician who tagged off on the same deficient system you’re testing in the previous year. What you should do in this instance is contact your service manager. Under no circumstances should you tag off on a deficient system without ensuring you either check the “see log and report” or “additional work required” columns (as the situation merits).
