Sentinel values for instrumentation
The instrumentation items (GenComm pages 4,6 and 7) may return the sentinel values described
in the table below. These are used to indicate special conditions measured by the control module.
The sentinel value ‘high digital input’ means that the instrumentation value is high (high oil
pressure, high temp, etc), similarly 'Low digital input' means the instrumentation value is low. They
do not refer to voltage levels on the inputs.
