Laser Sensor Power Source Circuit
DESCRIPTION
This circuit provides power to the laser sensor. The laser sensor emits radio
waves towards an object in
front and measures the distance and direction of the object by receiving the
beam reflections. Based on
the reflections, the sensor calculates the difference in speed between t ...
ECM / PCM Processor
DESCRIPTION
The ECM continuously monitors its internal processors (CPUs), A/F sensor
transistors and heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S) transistors. This self-check ensures that the ECM is functioning
properly. These are
diagnosed by internal "mirroring" of the main and sub CPUs to det ...
