Electric Load Sensor: Description and Operation

Electric Load Switch Circuit:






The electrical load sensing switch is incorporated within the ECU. Input signals (battery voltage) from the stop light switch, defogger relay and the tail light relay are detected by the ECU load sensing circuit. The ECU then controls the idle circuits to compensate for the extra load.
