COLLAR 7H3081 - Caterpillar

- This means a condition that is not normal. The presence of an abnormal condition or an abnormal signal indicates the existence of a problem. A warning is activated in order to alert the operator.Alert Indicator - An alert indicator is a red indicator lamp that is located on the top portion of the main display module. The alert indicator notifies the operator of an abnormal condition. +Battery - This pertains to any of the harness wiring which is part of the circuit that connects to the positive battery post. +Battery voltage is also referred to as system voltage.Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) - This is a Windows based program, that is used to service Caterpillar products. The software operates on a service tool (personal computer). Component Identifier (CID) - The CID is a diagnostic code that informs the operator of component or the system that has failed. The CID is a four digit code, that is located in the digital display area when the main display module is in service mode.Clear - This is the removal of diagnostic information that is stored in the memory of the ECM. Before a failure is cleared, the failure must be on hold and the failure must not be present.Connector Contact - A connector contact is the component of a harness connector that actually makes the electrical connection. Connector contacts are either pins or sockets. Detected Diagnostic Code - A detected diagnostic code is a problem that has been found by the main display module. A service code that has been recorded for the problem and the diagnostic information is available when the main display module is in service mode.Diagnostic - This is a process that takes place within an electronic control. The control senses the abnormal machine information. The control displays the abnormal machine information. The control stores the abnormal machine information. This stored information can aid the service technician.Display - Display refers to the gauges, indicators, or readouts within the Caterpillar Monitoring System display area.Failure Mode Identifier (FMI) - An FMI is a diagnostic code that identifies the type of failure that has occurred. The FMI consists of two digit code which is preceded by a decimal point ".". This code is shown on the display area when the main display module is in service mode.Diagnostic Code - A diagnostic code is a failure of a component in an electronic system. An associated CID FMI identifies the type of problem.Diagnostic Event - This is a type of maintenance event. This event is displayed when an electronic control detects an abnormal condition in the electrical system. Sometimes abnormal conditions in the mechanical system can be detected through the electrical system.Gauge - This is a display device that is typically circular in shape with an indicator needle. The gauge can be a mechanical device or the gauge can be a solid state device.Ground (B-) - This is the reference point for the electrical system. On CAT products, ground is the machine frame
