Chart C-1:




Diode Module Circuit:






CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:

The ECM receives an idle-up signal at terminal "B3." This signal is present whenever one or more of the following systems is turned "ON."

^ Head lights.
^ Rear window defogger.
^ Brake lights.
^ Heater blower motor.
^ Radiator cooling fan. The engine rpm will slightly increase for the additional electrical load.
