Technician A says that after replacing the drive axle tires on a highway tractor,the new revolutions per mile data must be programmed to the chassis data bus.Technician B says that the previous programming data is still valid providing the tires are of the same nominal dimension.Who is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because the revolutions per mile of the new tires can differ from the old ones, even if they are of the same nominal size, due to variations in tire design, tread pattern, and manufacturer specifications. This data is crucial for the accurate operation of systems relying on wheel speed inputs, such as ABS, traction control, and vehicle stability systems. Technician B's assumption that the previous data remains valid is incorrect because these slight variations can impact the vehicle's performance and safety systems' accuracy.
