Fault Description Dialog Box
The list box on the Fault Screen
shows all of the active or inactive
faults that are recorded on the current
ECM or that are stored in the current
record. Faults are listed as
PID/SID/SPN (see Glossary) and FMI
numbers, along with an abbreviated
textual description of the problem.
More descriptive information can be
obtained from these codes by
selecting the row of the desired fault
with the stylus or pressing the Enter key while the selected row
is highlighted. When a fault code is selected, the Fault
Description dialog box is opened. The Fault Description dialog
box provides more detailed information about the fault code.
This includes a description of the fault, the Parameter Identifier
(PID), Subsystem Identifier (SID), or Suspect Parameter Number
(SPN), the Failure Mode Identifier (FMI), and the fault
occurrence count. This information can be retrieved on current
faults, as well as on fault records that are stored on the handheld
device. When finished with the Fault Description information,
exit this mode by tapping the ‘Done’ button on the form.
Active-Inactive Faults
A fault can be either active, which indicates that the conditions
which trigger that fault are currently active, or it can be inactive,
which indicates that conditions have existed in the past to trigger
that fault code, but they no longer exist. Both active and
inactive types of faults can be monitored with the P
OWER

application. They are displayed in the Active or Inactive
Faults lists, respectively.
Reset Faults Button
The Reset Faults button will issue a command to the ECM to
remove the current inactive faults from the module. This will
also clear the fault lists and request all of the fault information
again.
