Throttle Full Close Switch: Description and Operation

Idle Switch:





The Idle Switch, is a contact switch that senses accelerator operation. The switch is installed on the throttle body. When the throttle valve is in the idle position, the free lever pushes the switch on.

The Idle Position Switch position indicates whether the accelerator is either depressed or released and is monitored by the ECU, enabling it to control the idle speed.
