Case question
What should happen when two decoded outputs appear to disagree on accelerator position?

What the evidence showed
A technical inquiry compared pre-crash accelerator values from two reports on the same Jeep matter. The discrepancy required returning to data definitions, software versions and source fields rather than choosing the more convenient decoded number.

Practical takeaway
When decoded values conflict, preserve both originals and validate the parameter definition, units, software version and raw source before relying on either result.
The source evidence exhibit is provided below.
