DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO SEE VPD, WHEN GROUND IS SUPPLIED TO THE VPD MODULE THE 11.2 V
WENT AWAY AND FAULT IS INACTIVE.

THE ORIGINAL CABINET SUPPLIED HAD A DATABUS CRIMP THAT FAILED, FONTAINE
MODIFICATION SUPPLIED US WITH A SECOND CABINET, IT HAD A BAD GROUND CRIMP.

REASON | POSTED THIS MAKE SURE NOTHING (MODULE WISE) ON THE DATABUS HAS
ISSUES, THE MODULE FOR THE VPD IS TIED INTO THE 250 K DATABUS, BUT THE MODULE
WAS BACK FEEDING DUE TO NO GROUND.

PLEASE FOLKS KEEP IN MIND THERE IS NO PUBLISHED T SHOOTING BY DAIMLER (THIS IS A
PRODUCT FROM MARMON HARRINGTON), AND THERE IS NO PUBLISHED T SHOOTING FROM
MARMON, WE ARE ALL LEARNING AS WE GO WITH THIS PRODUCT.

ANYTHING THAT SAYS A TRACE FILE, WE USED A PROGRAM CALLED PCAN TO MAKE A LOG
FILE SHOWING DATABUS ACTIVITY AND A PROGRAM CALLED BODAS TO HOOK TO THE VPD, IF
YOU RUN INTO ANY ISSUES WITH THIS PRODUCT, PLEASE REACH OUT TO TIM WHEELER AT
FONTAINE MODIFICATION BEFORE YOU DO ANYTING.
