Rated Fuel Limit - The Rated Fuel Limit is a limit that is based on the power rating of the engine and on the engine rpm. The Rated Fuel Limit enables the engine power and torque outputs to conform to the power and torque curves of a specific engine model. These limits are in the flash file and cannot be changed.Reference Voltage - Reference voltage is a regulated voltage and a steady voltage that is supplied by the ECM to a sensor. The reference voltage is used by the sensor to generate a signal voltage.Relay - A relay is an electromechanical switch. A flow of electricity in one circuit is used to control the flow of electricity in another circuit. A small current or voltage is applied to a relay in order to switch a much larger current or voltage.Secondary Speed/Timing Sensor - This sensor determines the position of the camshaft during engine operation. If the primary speed/timing sensor fails during engine operation, the secondary speed/timing sensor is used to provide the signal.Sensor - A sensor is a device that is used to detect the current value of pressure or temperature, or mechanical movement. The information that is detected is converted into an electrical signal.Short Circuit - A short circuit is a condition that has an electrical circuit that is inadvertently connected to an undesirable point. An example of a short circuit is a wire which rubs against a vehicle frame and this rubbing eventually wears off the wire insulation. Electrical contact with the frame is made and results in a short circuit.Signal - The signal is a voltage or a waveform that is used in order to transmit information typically from a sensor to the ECM.Suction Control Valve (SCV) - The SCV is a control device in the high-pressure fuel pump. The ECM controls the pressure in the fuel rail by using the SCVto control the amount of fuel that enters the chambers in the pump.Supply Voltage - The supply voltage is a regulated supply that is required for components to operate. The power may be generated by the ECM or the power may be battery voltage that is supplied by the engine wiring.Suspect Parameter Number (SPN) - The SPN is a J1939 number that identifies the specific component of the electronic control system that has experienced a diagnostic code.System Configuration Parameters - System configuration parameters are parameters that affect emissions and/or operating characteristics of the engine.Tattletale - Certain parameters that affect the operation of the engine are stored in the ECM. These parameters can be changed by use of the electronic service tool. The tattletale logs the number of changes that have been made to the parameter. The tattletale is stored in the ECM.Throttle Position - The throttle position is the interpretation by the ECM of the signal from the throttle position sensor or the throttle switch.Throttle Position Sensor - The throttle position sensor is a sensor that is connected to an accelerator pedal or
