Electric Load Sensor: Description and Operation

Electrical Load Switch Circuit:





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