Hello! I had a question regarding the interpretation of the values of the various lamps. In the attached example, we observe that the values of the three lamps (mil lamp, red stop lamp and the amber warning lamp) fluctuate between 0 and 1. Does this imply that the lamps are turning off and on intermittently? We assumed that once the lamp is on (i.e., a value of 1), it would stay at that value till the associated problem is resolved (i.e., a continuous series of 1's, followed by 0's, with the lamp turning back to 1 if a new issue arises). However, in the data, they are alternating between 1 and 0 with rapid frequency. The data in the attached image was pulled from Geotab.  Therefore the question is, what do these values represent and how should we be interpreting them? Thank you!

Hi <a href="/user/eishifun" data-id="1044" data-value="EishiFUN" data-denotation-char="@" class="text-decoration-none mention">@EishiFUN</a>​ , thanks so much again for your help with this! Really appreciate it! :)

Hi Tamas, Thanks a lot for your reply! I will look into creating a support ticket. <a href="/user/eishifun" data-id="1044" data-value="EishiFUN" data-denotation-char="@" class="text-decoration-none mention">@EishiFUN</a>​ could you help me create one? As usual I am unable to do so lol. Sorry to trouble you again on this! :)

Hi Tamas, Thanks a lot for your clarification! I had some follow up questions. Are these values a probabilisitic indicator rather than a definitive one? That is, if a fault code has a 1 as a value for one of these lamp indicators, would it for sure trigger a lamp, or does a 1 imply that the fault code has a high likelihood of triggering a lamp on the dash? In some cases, the same fault code has alternating values of the lamps (as seen in the example): <img src="/forum/plugins/gcs-uploads/files/069Ht00000S6qhBIAR.png" alt="example" /> I am not sure how to interpret these quick alternating values, as this seems to imply the same fault code could trigger and then could not trigger a lamp on the dash, and then can again. Is this the right way to look at it, or am I interpreting it incorrectly? Is there a way to infer whether one of these lamps are actually on on the dashboard from these values, or would I need to look at another diagnostic/source for this information? Thank you again for your help! :)

Hi <a href="/user/eishifun" data-id="1044" data-value="EishiFUN" data-denotation-char="@" class="text-decoration-none mention">@EishiFUN</a>​ , The names are: malfunctionLamp, protectWarningLamp, redStopLamp, amberWarningLamp. These come directly from the FaultData.  Thanks a lot for your help as always!
