This section describes how to use the HDT to see gauge data on the private bus. This
is useful while troubleshooting by determining if the Interface Module is broadcast-
ing data for a particular gauge. If no gauge data is being broadcast for a particular
gauge, the Interface Module may be defective or incorrectly programmed. The HDT
can also be used to compare data from the Interface Module to individual gauge
readings in the instrument system to help determine if the gauge or the Interface
Module is defective.
