Ignition Switch-ST (M/T)






Operation

The ignition switch-ST inputs HIGH-level signals to the engine control module during engine cranking. The engine control module, based on those signals, regulates fuel injection during starting, etc.

When the Ignition switch is set to START, the battery Voltage during engine cranking is, by way of the ignition switch, applied to the engine control module, and the engine control module thus detects the fact that the engine is cranking.
