Cars these days are fitted with complex engine and body systems that monitor every aspect of the vehicle, such as speed, engine temperature, fuel usage, outside air temperature, transmission operation, air conditioning and much more. Because of this, the system continuously monitors electrical circuits to ensure every component is operating as it is intended to and within its defined range. Any faults or fluctuations outside of the operating parameters are logged by the system where, usually, a warning light will display to advise the driver that something is not operating correctly.
