What does a steady door out of order light signify?

A steady "door out of order" light typically signifies a fault in the door control mechanism, which is often linked to the door control unit (DCU). When this light is illuminated consistently, it suggests that the system has detected an issue that prevents normal operation of the door.

In this scenario, the DCU acts as the central processing unit for the door's functionalities, monitoring various inputs and managing the door's responses. If the DCU experiences a fault or malfunction, it may trigger the out-of-order indication to alert users that intervention is required.

While other choices might involve their own symptoms or signs of trouble, they do not directly correlate with the steady light indication that is associated with a faulty DCU. For example, an electrical short typically would result in erratic behavior, rather than a steady signal, and would likely require different troubleshooting steps. Mechanical problems might not trigger a steady light at all if the door system is still consistently reporting a DCU issue. Therefore, identifying the steady light as indicative of a faulty DCU is essential for the correct diagnosis and subsequent resolution of the issue.
