Indicators
CPU-A, CPU-B When steadily illuminated, this light shows that the computer is func-
tioning normally and completing its program loop successfully. Pressing the COMPUTER
RESET button will cause the COMPUTER ON light to turn OFF and the light will stay OFF
while the RESET button is depressed. The computer is equipped with a watchdog feature that
will shut down the controller if the program loop cannot be completed (software system fail-
ure). If the COMPUTER ON light is OFF or flashing continuously, it means that the computer
board is malfunctioning.

various information depending on the positions of the F1-F8 switches. Diagnostic mode is

status message, the car position, the contents of the computer's internal memory and communi-
cation status.
