A/C system signal, checking

The A/C system signal notifies the Engine
Control Module (ECM), that the A/C system
requires a higher idle speed to achieve the
desired interior temperature (regardless of
whether heating or cooling is required).
The increase in idle speed based on presence of
the A/C system signal is control module
dependent and occurs only in vehicles with All
Wheel Drive (AWD) and manual transmission.

Brake light switch and brake pedal
switch, checking


Note:
For safety reasons, the instruction from the
accelerator pedal sensor (potentiometer) to the
ECM to open the throttle valve is suppressed
when brake is being operated. This requires the
brake light switch signal and also the brake pedal
switch signal in the control module.
If brake pedal is operated with accelerator pedal
constantly depressed, engine is immediately
regulated down to idle speed. A faulty switch can
lead to undesired regulation.
