SAFETY INFORMATION
Advisory Labels
Cautionary signal words (Danger-Warning-Caution) may appear in various locations throughout this manual. Information accented by one of these signal words must be observed to minimize the risk of personal injury to service personnel, or the possibility of improper service methods which may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe. Additional Notes and Service Hints are utilized to emphasize areas of procedural importance and provide suggestions for ease of repair. The following definitions indicate the use of these advisory labels as they appear throughout the manual:
INTRODUCTION
Electricity provides the power necessary for starting the engine and operating the various lights and other auxiliary systems installed on the chassis. Diagnosing problems that can occur in a truck electrical system involves a basic understanding of electrical concepts, and testing and measurement procedures. The purpose of this manual is to familiarize the technician with basic electrical concepts and diagnostic procedures
ELECTRICAL CONCEPTS
Understanding Electricity
Electricity is the movement of electrons through a conductor. An electrical circuit can easily be compared to a hydraulic (or pneumatic) circuit, where hydraulic fluid (or compressed air) is pushed through a conductor to an actuator that performs a function.
