State Displays
- This allows technician to view conditions at signal level. The 2 types of signals are analog and digital. Analog signals are monitored at pins corresponding to vehicle harness splices (e.g., fuel pump relay).
- Digital signals correspond to data transmitted by system controllers. Both signals are displayed in common units (e.g., temperature). Use up and down arrow keys on DRB-II to scroll through displays available.
- Following ENGINE state displays are available on DRB-II:
- Module Information: This mode allows technician to read ECU part number and application.
- Engine Sensors: This mode allows technician to look at various engine sensors during engine operation.
- Inputs/Outputs: This mode allows technician to read input and output states of various switches and sensors.
- Custom Display: This screen allows technician to set up his/her own custom display. Two custom display screens can be programmed into DRB-II.
- Minimum/Current/Maximum: MIN/CURRENT/MAX display shows a history of conditions for a specific sensor. When this option is selected, maximum, current (static) and minimum values can be displayed for a specific sensor. To reset sensors to a zero value, simply press ENTER key. This display may be used to isolate intermittent faults. MIN/CURRENT/MAX display allows technician to observe operation of 6 different sensor values. Information is displayed as a 3-digit number. First value displayed is the minimum reading, second number is current reading and third value is the maximum reading. Typically sensors range between 2 and 252. Values less than 2 or greater than 252 will usually indicate that a sensor is shorted or disconnected. Watch minimum and maximum values to help diagnose intermittent problems.
- Monitors: This screen shows technician sensors and system controllers which affect fuel control, spark advance, RPM and A/C relay. There are 4 different screens available. For example, screen No. 1 will show: airflow sensor, O2 sensor, battery and fuel injector. All of these inputs affect fuel control.
