Hey, there's a weird fluctuation in the coolant flow that looks like a phantom pulse—feels like a glitch but could be a new instability. What’s your take on tracking it down?
Penguin
Check the pressure sensors first; a phantom pulse often comes from a sensor glitch or a valve that’s sticking. Log the data over a full cycle, then run a diagnostic on the valve actuators. If the numbers stay odd, try swapping the sensor to see if the pattern follows the component. If it doesn’t, you’ve got a real instability—then isolate the affected circuit and test under controlled flow. Keep the data clean, and you’ll see the culprit.

Sounds solid. I’ll log a full cycle and cross‑check the actuator diagnostics. If the oddity sticks with the sensor, swap it; if it disappears, we’ve found the culprit. Let’s keep the feed clean and isolate as soon as the pattern persists.

Nice plan—stick to the data, no assumptions. Log, cross‑check, swap if necessary, isolate once the pattern repeats. You’ve got the right method, just stay focused and the glitch will reveal itself.

Got it, I'll keep the data clean and let the anomaly do its thing.
