VALVE GP-CONTROL 3645230 - Caterpillar

- This pertains to the status of a fault or to the status of a service code. When the fault is active, the fault is currently present.+Battery - This pertains to any of the harness wiring which is part of the circuit that connects to the + battery post.+V - +V is a constant voltage that is supplied to a component. This voltage provides electrical power for the component's operation. +V is provided by an electronic control module or the battery.Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) - This is a diagnostic service tool for a personal computer (PC). Caterpillar Monitoring System - This is a sophisticated monitoring system.Clear - This pertains to removing diagnostic information from the memory of the ECM. Before clearing a fault, a fault must be on hold and a fault must not be present.Component Identifier (CID) - A CID is a code that is used to identify a particular component. The CID is a four digit code that is shown on the ECM display when the ECM is in service mode or normal mode.Connector Contact - A connector contact is the component that actually makes the electrical connection between the harness connector and another connector plug. Connector contacts are either pins or sockets.Detected Fault - This is a fault that has been found by the ECM. The fault is recorded and diagnostic information is available in the service mode.Diagnostic - This is a code that pertains to abnormal information. Diagnostic information is available when the ECM is in service mode.Display - The display consists of the readout and the indicators. The display is visible on the Caterpillar Monitoring System at all times.Fault - A fault is a failure of a component or a circuit in an ECM system. The ECM detects a fault when a signal at the ECM connector is outside a valid range. An FMI and a CID identify the type of fault.Failure Mode Identifier (FMI) - An FMI is a diagnostic code that identifies the type of failure that has occurred. This code is shown on the Caterpillar Monitoring System.Harness Code - The harness code provides the machine model information to the power train ECM. The Caterpillar Monitoring System uses the data link in order to provide the harness code to the ECM. The harness codes are created by the pins that are grounded or floating on the Caterpillar Monitoring System.Hold or On Hold - This pertains to the holding of diagnostic information that is shown in the display area when the ECM is in the service mode. It is necessary to hold the set of diagnostic information before troubleshooting or clearing.Jumper - A jumper is a piece of wire that is used to make an electrical connection during troubleshooting.Location Code - The location code provides the characteristics of the control such as brake control or transmission/chassis ECM. Module Identifier (MID) - A MID is a diagnostic code that identifies the ECM which diagnosed the fault. The three-digit code is displayed in the
