What do troubleshooting trees ensure?

A

that a serviceable component is not replaced in error

24
Q

who created troubleshooting trees?

A

manufacturers

25
Q

What principle does an LCD screen use to operate?

A

uses the principle of polarized light to put images on a screen

26
Q

How does an LED emit light?

A

emits light when it’s connected in a forward biased circuit

27
Q

How does a vacuum fluorescent display emit light?

A

in a way similar to a cathode ray tube

28
Q

what are the 3 main info data bus configuration standards used in off-road equipment?

A

J1708, J1587, J1939

29
Q

What must you be aware of when servicing electronic panels?

A

wear a ground strap to prevent static electricity
disconnect main power before welding
use a high impedance DMM
do not rip on electrical harnesses

30
Q

why should you not leave any gauges face down for long periods of time?

A

because the fluid inside will leak out

31
Q

how will a gauge react if it has lost its fluid from leaking?

A

it will exhibit erratic dial movement

32
Q

high resistances will cause voltage drops. voltage drops that occur in equipment lighting systems will cause lamps to:

A

illuminate dimly

33
Q

_____ or _____ warning devices signal the operator of a potential problem or hazardous condition coercing various machine operating conditions

A

audible, visual

34
Q

Any change in unit electrical system voltage will affect the bi-metal gauge readings and cause them to be inaccurate. a small _______ ______ is used to maintain the system voltage and provide accurate gauge readings

A

voltage regulator

35
Q

what allows the units electronic control modules to communicate with each other?

A

an information data bus
