KIT-GAUGE 2783970 - Caterpillar

Code - Provides the characteristics of the machine such as the size of the engine, idle speed, tire size, and attachments. The message display uses the data-link to provide the harness code to an ECM.Hertz (Hz) - Measurement of frequency in cycles per second.Hold or On Hold - Pertains to the holding of diagnostic information shown on the fault lamp when the ECM is in the service mode. Icon - Symbol used instead of words to convey a message in any language.Indicator - Any of the items within a Cat monitoring system display. Indicators operate in an ON, FLASHING, or OFF manner to bring attention to a machine condition.Input/Output (I/O) - Electronic circuits within an electronic control. These circuits are used as inputs. Input components are sensors and switches. These circuits are used as outputs from the control to the external circuits. Output components are horns, lamps, and solenoids.Jumper - Piece of wire used to make an electrical connection during troubleshooting.kPa - See “Kilopascal”.Keypad - Panel of keys like a telephone number pad. The keypad is used as an interface to the onboard electrical system. Keyswitch - Automotive type start switch with following functions: ON (relay), CRANK and ACCESSORYKilopascal (kPa) - kPa is a Metric unit of measure. A NEWTON is equal to the force applied to one sq meter. (6.89 kPa = 1 psi).List box - Rectangular box with scroll bars that contains a scrollable list of items. Selection is accomplished by clicking the desired entry. Other list boxes permit the user to select multiple items.Machine Code - Two-digit number assigned to a particular harness code for a particular machine by the ECM. Each sales model has a specific harness code. Machine Service Connector - Connector used to connect a service tool to the machine. Cat data-link is used for the connection.Message Center Module - VIMS module that contains the main display for the operator warning system. This module also displays information for the service technician. Module - Shortened term used in place of the electronic control module. See “Electronic Control Module”.Module Identifier (MID) - Diagnostic code that identifies the ECM that diagnosed the fault. The two-digit code is displayed in the message area of the message display when the machine is in the service mode.Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) - Type of data storage unaffected by an interruption of power. See Volatile Memory.Off-Board - Hardware and software located off the machine. The hardware and software can be temporarily connected to the electrical system. Ohm - Standard unit for measuring resistance to the flow of electrical current.Onboard - Hardware and software located on the machine as part of the electrical system.Open Circuit - Electrical wire or a connection is broken, the flow of electrical current through the circuit is interrupted.Parameter - Value or a limit that is sometimes programmable. The parameter determines the characteristics or behavior of the engine and/or machine electrical system. See Protected Parameter. A parameter can also see the gauge functions and/or the monitored channels of
