Idle Switch Contact
1. With ignition Off, disconnect multiple pin plug from DME ECU.
2. Connect suitable ohmmeter across ECU connector terminals 2 and ground.
3. With throttle closed, resistance value should be 0 ohms.
4. With throttle opened, resistance value should be infinite. Switch over from throttle closed to throttle open should take place with a throttle gap of approximately 1°.

Full Load Contact

2. With throttle closed, resistance value should be infinite.
