SFI SYSTEM - VC Output Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
The ECM constantly uses 5 V from the battery voltages supplied to the +B (BATT) terminal to operate the microprocessor. The ECM also provides this power to the sensors through the VC output circuit.When the VC circuit is short-circuited, the microprocessor in the ECM and sensors that receive power through the VC circuit are inactivated because the power is not supplied from the VC circuit. Under this condition, the system does not start up and the MIL does not illuminate even if the system malfunctions.
- HINT:
- Under normal conditions, the MIL is illuminated for several seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON position. The MIL goes off when the engine is started.
