EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CANISTER
The Evaporative (EVAP) Emission canister is an emission
control device containing activated charcoal granules.
The EVAP emission canister is used to store fuel vapors
from the fuel tank. Once certain conditions are met, the en-
gine control module (ECM) activates the EVAP canister
purge solenoid, allowing the fuel vapors to be drawn into
the engine cylinders and burned.
POSITIVE CRANKCASE
VENTILATION SYSTEM OPERATION
A Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system is used to
provide complete use of the crankcase vapors. Fresh air
from the air cleaner is supplied to the crankcase. The fresh
air is mixed with blowby gases which are then passed
through a vacuum hose into the intake manifold.
Periodically inspect the hoses and the clamps. Replace
any crankcase ventilation components as required.
A restricted or plugged PCV hose may cause the following
conditions:
S Rough idle
S Stalling or low idle speed
S Oil leaks
S Oil in the air cleaner
S Sludge in the engine
A leaking PCV hose may cause the following conditions:
S Rough idle
S Stalling
S High idle speed
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a
thermistor (a resistor which changes value based on tem-
perature) mounted in the engine coolant stream. Low cool-
ant temperature produces a high resistance (100,000
ohms at –40 °F [–40 °C]) while high temperature causes
low resistance (70 ohms at 266 °F [130 °C]).
The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the
ECT sensor through a resistor in the ECM and measures
the change in voltage. The voltage will be high when the
engine is cold, and low when the engine is hot. By measur-
ing the change in voltage, the ECM can determine the
coolant temperature. The engine coolant temperature af-
fects most of the systems that the ECM controls. A failure
in the ECT sensor circuit should set a diagnostic trouble
code P0117 or P0118. Remember, these diagnostic
trouble codes indicate a failure in the ECT sensor circuit,
so proper use of the chart will lead either to repairing a wir-
ing problem or to replacing the sensor to repair a problem
properly.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer con-
nected to the throttle shaft of the throttle body. The TP sen-
sor electrical circuit consists of a 5 volt supply line and a
ground line, both provided by the engine control module
(ECM). The ECM calculates the throttle position by moni-
toring the voltage on this signal line. The TP sensor output
changes as the accelerator pedal is moved, changing the
throttle valve angle. At a closed throttle position, the output
of the TP sensor is low, about 0.5 volt. As the throttle valve
opens, the output increases so that, at Wide Open Throttle
(WOT), the output voltage will be about 5 volts.
The ECM can determine fuel delivery based on throttle
valve angle (driver demand). A broken or loose TP sensor
can cause intermittent bursts of fuel from the injector and
an unstable idle, because the ECM thinks the throttle is
moving. A problem in any of the TP sensor circuits should
set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0121 or P0122.
Once the DTC is set, the ECM will substitute a default val-
ue for the TP sensor and some vehicle performance will
return. A DTC P0121 will cause a high idle speed.
CATALYST MONITOR OXYGEN
SENSORS
Three–way catalytic converters are used to control emis-
sions of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and
oxides of nitrogen (NOx). The catalyst within the convert-
ers promotes a chemical reaction. This reaction oxidizes
the HC and CO present in the exhaust gas and converts
them into harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide. The
catalyst also reduces NOx by converting it to nitrogen. The
engine control module (ECM) can monitor this process us-
ing the HO2S1 and HO2S2 sensor. These sensors pro-
duce an output signal which indicates the amount of oxy-
gen present in the exhaust gas entering and leaving the
three–way converter. This indicates the catalyst’s ability to
efficiently convert exhaust gasses. If the catalyst is operat-
ing efficiently, the HO2S1 sensor signals will be more ac-
tive than the signals produced by the HO2S2 sensor. The
catalyst monitor sensors operate the same way as the fuel
control sensors. The sensor’s main function is catalyst
monitoring, but they also have a limited role in fuel control.
If a sensor output indicates a voltage either above or below
the 450 mv bias voltage for an extended period of time, the
ECM will make a slight adjustment to fuel trim to ensure
that fuel delivery is correct for catalyst monitoring.
A problem with the HO2S1 sensor circuit will set DTC
P0131, P0132, P0133 or P0134 depending, on the special
condition. A problem with the HO2S2 sensor signal will set
DTC P0137, P0138, P0140 or P0141, depending on the
special condition.
A fault in the Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S2) heat-
er element or its ignition feed or ground will result in lower
oxygen sensor response. This may cause incorrect cata-
lyst monitor diagnostic results.

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION
VA LV E
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is used on
engines equipped with an automatic transaxle to lower
NOx (oxides of nitrogen) emission levels caused by high
combustion temperature. The EGR valve is controlled by
the engine control module (ECM). The EGR valve feeds
small amounts of exhaust gas into the intake manifold to
decrease combustion temperature. The amount of ex-
haust gas recirculated is controlled by variations in vacu-
um and exhaust back pressure. If too much exhaust gas
enters, combustion will not take place. For this reason,
very little exhaust gas is allowed to pass through the valve,
especially at idle.
The EGR valve is usually open under the following condi-
tions:
S Warm engine operation.
S Above idle speed.
Results of Incorrect Operation
Too much EGR flow tends to weaken combustion, causing
the engine to run roughly or to stop. With too much EGR
flow at idle, cruise, or cold operation, any of the following
conditions may occur:
S The engine stops after a cold start.
S The engine stops at idle after deceleration.
S The vehicle surges during cruise.
S Rough idle.
If the EGR valve stays open all the time, the engine may
not idle. Too little or no EGR flow allows combustion tem-
peratures to get too high during acceleration and load con-
ditions. This could cause the following conditions:
S Spark knock (detonation)
S Engine overheating
S Emission test failure
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor,
a resistor which changes value based on the temperature
of the air entering the engine. Low temperature produces
a high resistance (4,500 ohms at –40°F [–40°C]), while
high temperature causes a low resistance (70 ohms at
266°F [130°C]).
The engine control module (ECM) provides 5 volts to the
IAT sensor through a resistor in the ECM and measures
the change in voltage to determine the IAT. The voltage will
be high when the manifold air is cold and low when the air
is hot. The ECM knows the intake IAT by measuring the
voltage.
The IAT sensor is also used to control spark timing when
the manifold air is cold.
A failure in the IAT sensor circuit sets a diagnostic trouble
code P0112 or P0113.
IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE
Notice : Do not attempt to remove the protective cap to
readjust the stop screw. Misadjustment may result in dam-
age to the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve or to the throttle
body.
The IAC valve is mounted on the throttle body where it
controls the engine idle speed under the command of the
engine control module (ECM). The ECM sends voltage
pulses to the IAC valve motor windings, causing the IAC
valve pintle to move in or out a given distance (a step or
count) for each pulse. The pintle movement controls the
airflow around the throttle valves which, in turn, control the
engine idle speed.
The desired idle speeds for all engine operating conditions
are programmed into the calibration of the ECM. These
programmed engine speeds are based on the coolant
temperature, the park/neutral position switch status, the
vehicle speed, the battery voltage, and the A/C system
pressure (if equipped).
The ECM ”learns” the proper IAC valve positions to
achieve warm, stabilized idle speeds (rpm) desired for the
various conditions (park/neutral or drive, A/C on or off, if
equipped). This information is stored in ECM ”keep alive”
memories. Information is retained after the ignition is
turned OFF. All other IAC valve positioning is calculated
based on these memory values. As a result, engine varia-
tions due to wear and variations in the minimum throttle
valve position (within limits) do not affect engine idle
speeds. This system provides correct idle control under all
conditions. This also means that disconnecting power to
the ECM can result in incorrect idle control or the necessity
to partially press the accelerator when starting until the
ECM relearns idle control.
Engine idle speed is a function of total airflow into the en-
gine based on the IAC valve pintle position, the throttle
valve opening, and the calibrated vacuum loss through ac-
cessories. The minimum throttle valve position is set at the
factory with a stop screw. This setting allows enough air-
flow by the throttle valve to cause the IAC valve pintle to
be positioned a calibrated number of steps (counts) from
the seat during ”controlled” idle operation. The minimum
throttle valve position setting on this engine should not be
considered the ”minimum idle speed,” as on other fuel in-
jected engines. The throttle stop screw is covered with a
plug at the factory following adjustment.
If the IAC valve is suspected as the cause of improper idle
speed, refer to ”Idle Air Control System Check” in this sec-
tion.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE
SENSOR
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures
the changes in the intake manifold pressure which result
from engine load and speed changes. It converts these to
a voltage output.

COMPREHENSIVE COMPONENT
MONITOR DIAGNOSTIC OPERATION
Comprehensive component monitoring diagnostics are
required to monitor emissions–related input and output
powertrain components.
Input Components
Input components are monitored for circuit continuity and
out–of–range values. This includes rationality checking.
Rationality checking refers to indicating a fault when the
signal from a sensor does not seem reasonable, i.e.
Throttle Position (TP) sensor that indicates high throttle
position at low engine loads or Manifold Absolute Pressure
(MAP) voltage. Input components may include, but are not
limited to, the following sensors:
S Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).
S Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor.
S Throttle Position (TP) sensor.
S Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.
S Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor.
S Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor.
In addition to the circuit continuity and rationality check,
the ECT sensor is monitored for its ability to achieve a
steady state temperature to enable closed loop fuel con-
trol.
Output Components
Output components are diagnosed for proper response to
control module commands. Components where functional
monitoring is not feasible will be monitored for circuit conti-
nuity and out–of–range values if applicable. Output com-
ponents to be monitored include, but are not limited to the
following circuit:
S Idle Air Control (IAC) Motor.
S Control module controlled EVAP Canister Purge
Valve.
S A/C relays.
S Cooling fan relay.
S VSS output.
S MIL control.
Refer to ”Engine Control Module” and Sensors in this sec-
tion.
Passive and Active Diagnostic Tests
A passive test is a diagnostic test which simply monitors
a vehicle system or component. Conversely, an active
test, actually takes some sort of action when performing
diagnostic functions, often in response to a failed passive
test. For example, the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
diagnostic active test will force the EGR valve open during
closed throttle deceleration and/or force the EGR valve
closed during a steady state. Either action should result in
a change in manifold pressure.
Intrusive Diagnostic Tests
This is any on–board test run by the Diagnostic Manage-
ment System which may have an effect on vehicle perfor-
mance or emission levels.
Warm–Up Cycle
A warm–up cycle means that engine temperature must
reach aminimum of 160°F (70°C) and rise at least 72°F
(22°C) over the course of a trip.
Freeze Frame
Freeze Frame is an element of the Diagnostic Manage-
ment System which stores various vehicle information at
the moment an emissions–related fault is stored in
memory and when the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
is commanded on. These data can help to identify the
cause of a fault.
Failure Records
Failure Records data is an enhancement of the EOBD
Freeze Frame feature. Failure Records store the same ve-
hicle information as does Freeze Frame, but it will store
that information for any fault which is stored in onboard
memory, while Freeze Frame stores information only for
emission–related faults that command the MIL on.
COMMON EOBD TERMS
Diagnostic
When used as a noun, the word diagnostic refers to any
on–board test run by the vehicle’s Diagnostic Manage-
ment System. A diagnostic is simply a test run on a system
or component to determine if the system or component is
operating according to specification. There are many diag-
nostics, shown in the following list:
S Misfire
S Front Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S1)
S Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S2)
S Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
S Catalyst monitoring
Enable Criteria
The term ”enable criteria” is engineering language for the
conditions necessary for a given diagnostic test to run.
Each diagnostic has a specific list of conditions which
must be met before the diagnostic will run.
”Enable criteria” is another way of saying ”conditions re-
quired.”
The enable criteria for each diagnostic is listed on the first
page of the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) description
under the heading ”Conditions for Setting the DTC.” En-
able criteria varies with each diagnostic and typically in-
cludes, but is not limited to, the following items:
S Engine speed.
S Vehicle speed
S Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
S Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)

CLUTCH PLATE DIAGNOSIS
Composition Plates
Dry the plate and inspect the plates for the following condi-
tions :
S Pitting
S Flaking
S Wear
S Glazing
S Cracking
S Charring
Chips or metal particles embedded in the lining
Replace a composition plate which shows any of these
conditions.
Steel Plates
Wipe the plates dry and check the plates for heat discolor-
ation. If the surfaces are smooth, even if colorsmear is in-
dicated, you can reuse the plate. If the plate is discolored
with hot spots or if the surface is scuffed, replace the plate.
Important : If the clutch shows evidence or extreme heat
or burning, replace the springs.
Causes of Burned Clutch Plates
The following conditions can result in a burned clutch
plate:
S Incorrect usage of clutch plates.
S Engine coolant in the transaxle fluid.
S A cracked clutch piston.
S Damaged or missing seals.
S Low line pressure.
S Valve problems.
– The valve body face is not flat
– Porosity between channels
– The valve bushing clips are improperly installed.
– The check balls are misplaced.
S The seal rings are worn or damaged
Engine Coolant in Transaxle
Notice : Antifreeze will deteriorate the O–ring seals and
the glue used to bond the clutch material to the pressure
plate. Both conditions may cause transaxle damage.
Perform the following steps if the transaxle oil cooler has
developed a leak, allowing engine coolant to enter the
transaxle:
1. Because the coolant will attach to the seal material
causing leakage, disassemble the transaxle and
replace all rubber type seals.
2. Because the facing material may become sepa-
rated from the steel center portion, replace the
composition faced clutch plate assemblies.
3. Replace all nylon parts including washers.
4. Replace the torque converter.
5. Thoroughly clean and rebuild the transaxle, using
new gaskets and oil filter.6. Flush the cooler lines after you have properly re-
paired or replaced the transaxle.
COOLER FLUSHING AND FLOW
TEST
Notice : You must flush the cooler whenever you receive
a transaxle for service. Cooler flushing is essential for
SRTA installation, major overhaul, whenever you replace
a pump or torque converter, or whenever you suspect that
the fluid has been contaminated.
After filling the transaxle with fluid, start the engine and run
for 30 seconds. This will remove any residual moisture
from the oil cooler. Disconnect the return line at the trans-
axle and observe the flow with the engine running. If the
fluid flow is insufficient, check the fluid flow by disconnect-
ing the feed line at the cooler. Observe the flow with the
engine running.
S If the flow from the cooler return line at the trans-
axle is insufficient, check the flow rate from the feed
line to the cooler. BLockage exists in the transaxle
or the cooler.
S If the flow from the transaxle feed line to the cooler
is insufficient, the transaxle is the cause of the fluid
flow problem.
S If the flow the transaxle feed line to the cooler is
insufficient, but flow from the cooler return line to
the transaxle is insufficient, inspect the cooler pipes
and fittings. Then repeat the cooler flushing proce-
dure. If the flow is still insufficient, replace the cool-
er.
TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL SERVICE
PROCEDURE
This procedure is to be used when checking a concern
with the fluid level in a vehicle. A low fluid level will result
in slipping and loss of drive/ reverse or delay on engage-
ment of drive/ reverse when the vehicle is cold.
The vehicle is first checked for transaxle diagnostic mes-
sages on the scan tool. If the oil level is low, it is possible
to register a vehicle speed signal fault.
The vehicle is to be test driven to determine if there is an
abnormal delay when selecting drive or reverse, or loss of
drive. One symptom of low fluid level is a momentary loss
of drive when driving the vehicle around a corner. Also
when the transaxle fluid level is low, a loss of drive may oc-
cur when the transaxle fluid temperature is low.
When adding or changing transaxle fluid use only ESSO
LT 71141 automatic transaxle fluid or other approved
fluids. The use of incorrect fluid will cause the performance
and durability of the transaxle to be severely degraded.
Fluid Level Diagnosis Procedure
1. If the vehicle is at operating temperature allow the
vehicle to cool down for two hours, but no greater
than four hours. Or if the vehicle is at cool status,
start the engine and allow the engine to idle for
approximately 5 minutes (825~875 rpm), if pos-

Repairing the Fluid Leak
Once the leak point is found the source of the leak must
be determined. The following list describes the potential
causes for the leak:
S Fasteners are not torqued to specification.
S Fastener threads and fastener holes are dirty or
corroded.
S Gaskets, seals or sleeves are misarranged, dam-
aged or worn.
S Damaged, warped or scratched seal bore or gasket
surface.
S Loose or worn bearing causing excess seal or
sleeve wears.
S Case or component porosity.
S Fluid level is too high.
S Plugged vent or damaged vent tube.
S Water or coolant in fluid.
S Fluid drain back holes plugged.
ELECTRICAL/GARAGE SHIFT TEST
This preliminary test should be performed before a hoist
or road test to make sure electronic control inputs is con-
nected and operating. If the inputs are not checked before
operating the transaxle, a simple electrical condition could
be misdiagnosed as a major transaxle condition.
A scan tool provides valuable information and must be
used on the automatic transaxle for accurate diagnosis.
1. Move gear selector to P (Park) and set the parking
brake.
2. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC)
terminal.
3. Start engine.
4. Turn the scan tool ON.
5. Verify that the appropriate signals are present.
These signals may include:
S ENGINE SPEED
S VEHICLE SPEED
S THROTTLE POSITION
S TRANSAXLE GEAR STATE
S GEAR SHIFT LEVER POSITION
S TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE
S CLOSED THROTTLE POSITION LEARN
S OPEN THROTTLE POSITION LEARNT
S CLOSED ACCEL. PEDAL POSITION LEARNT
S OPEN ACCEL. PEDAL POSITION LEARNT
S A/C COMPRESSOR STATUS
S MODE SWITCH
S THROTTLE POSITION VOLTAGE
S GEAR SHIFT LEVER POSITION VOLTAGE
S TRANS. FLUID TEMPERATURE VOLTAGE
S A/C SWITCH
S MODE SWITCH VOLTAGE
S BATTERY VOLTAGE
6. Monitor the A/C COMPRESSOR STATUS signal
while pushing the A/C switch.S The A/C COMPRESSOR STATUS should come
ON when the A/C switch is pressed, and turns
OFF when the A/C switch is repushed.
7. Monitor the GEAR SHIFT LEVER POSITION signal
and move the gear shift control lever through all the
ranges.
S Verify that the GEAR SHIFT LEVER POSITION
value matches the gear range indicated on the
instrument panel or console.
S Gear selections should be immediate and not
harsh.
8. Move gear shift control lever to neutral and monitor
the THROTTLE POSITION signal while increasing
and decreasing engine speed with the accelerator
pedal.
S THROTTLE POSITION should increase with
engine speed.
ROAD TEST PROCEDURE
S Perform the road test using a scan tool.
S This test should be performed when traffic and road
conditions permit.
S Observe all traffic regulations.
The TCM calculates upshift points based primarily on two
inputs : throttle angle and vehicle speed. When the TCM
wants a shift to occur, an electrical signal is sent to the shift
solenoids which in turn moves the valves to perform the
upshift.
The shift speed charts reference throttle angle instead of
”min throttle” or ”wot” to make shift speed measurement
more uniform and accurate. A scan tool should be used to
monitor throttle angle. Some scan tools have been pro-
grammed to record shift point information. Check the
introduction manual to see if this test is available.
Upshift Procedure
With gear selector in drive(D)
1. Look at the shift speed chart contained in this sec-
tion and choose a percent throttle angle of 10 or
25%.
2. Set up the scan tool to monitor throttle angle and
vehicle speed.
3. Accelerate to the chosen throttle angle and hold the
throttle steady.
4. As the transaxle upshifts, note the shift speed and
commanded gear changes for :
S Second gear.
S Third gear.
S Fourth gear.
Important : Shift speeds may vary due to slight hydraulic
delays responding to electronic controls. A change from
the original equipment tire size affects shift speeds.
Note when TCC applies. This should occur in fourth gear.
If the apply is not noticed by an rpm drop, refer to the
”Lock–up Clutch Diagnosis” information contained in this
section.

5A1 – 48IZF 4 HP 16 AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
The Lock up clutch should not apply unless the transaxle
has reached a minimum operating temperature of 8°C
(46°F) TRANS TEMP AND engine coolant temp of 50°C
(122°F).
5. Repeat steps 1–4 using several different throttle
angles.
Part Throttle Detent Downshift
At vehicle steeds of 55 to 65km/h (34 to 40mph) in Fourth
gear, quickly increase throttle angle to greater than 50%.
Verify that :
S TCC apply.
S Transaxle downshift to 3rd gear.
S Solenoid 1 turns ON to OFF.
S Solenoid 2 turns OFF.
Full Throttle Detent Downshift
At vehicle speeds of 55 to 65km/h (34 to 40mph)in Fourth
gear, quickly increase throttle angle to its maximum posi-
tion (100%)
Verify that :
S TCC release.
S Transaxle downshift to Second gear immediately.
S Solenoid 1 turns ON to OFF
S Solenoid 2 turns OFF.
Manual Downshifts
1. At vehicle speeds of 60km/h (40mph)in Fourth
gear, release accelerator pedal while moving gear
selector to Manual Third (3). Observe that :
S Transaxle downshift to Third gear immediately.
S Engine slows vehicle down.
2. Move gear selector back to overdrive(D) and accel-
erate to 31mph (50km/h). Release the accelerator
pedal and move the gear selector to Manual
First(1) and observe that :
S Transaxle downshift to second gear immediate-
ly.
S Engine slows vehicle down
Notice : A Manual First––Third Gear Ratio will occur at
high speeds as an upshift safety feature. Do not attempt
to perform this shift.
Coasting Downshifts
1. With the gear selector in Overdrive(D), accelerate
to Fourth gear with TCC applied.
2. Release the accelerator pedal and lightly apply the
brakes, and observe that :
S TCC release.
S Down shifts occur at speeds shown ON the shift
speed chart.
Manual Gear Range Selection
Upshifts in the manual gear ranges are controlled by the
shift solenoids. Perform the following tests by accelerating
at 25 percent TP sensor increments.
Manual Third (3)
S With vehicle stopped, move the gear selector to
Manual third(3) and accelerate to observe :
– 1–2 shift.
– 2–3 shift.
Manual Second (2)
S With vehicle stopped, move the gear selector to
Manual second(2) and accelerate to observe :
– 1–2 shift.
S Accelerate to 40km/h(25mph) and observe :
– 2–3 shift does not occur
– TCC does not apply
Manual First (1)
S With vehicle stopped, move gear selector to Manu-
al First(1). Accelerate to 30km/h(19mph) and ob-
serve :
– No upshifts occur
Reverse (R)
S With vehicle stopped, move gear selector to R(Re-
verse) and observe :
– Solenoid 1 is OFF
– Solenoid 2 is OFF
Use a scan tool to see if any transaxle trouble codes have
been set. Refer to ”Diagnostic Trouble Codes”in this sec-
tion and repair the vehicle as directed. After repairing the
vehicle, perform the hoist test and verify that the code has
not set again.
If the transaxle is not performing well and no trouble codes
have been set, there may be an intermittent condition.
Check all electrical connections for damage or a loose fit.
You also have to perform a snapshot test which can help
catch an intermittent condition that dose not occur long
enough to set a code.
You may want to read ”Electronic Component Diagnosis”
in this section to become familiar with transaxle conditions
caused by transaxle electrical malfunction.
If no trouble codes have been set and the condition is sus-
pected to be hydraulic, take the vehicle on a road test.
TORQUE CONVERTER LOCK–UP
CLUTCH(TCC) DIAGNOSIS
To properly diagnosis the lock–up clutch(TCC) system,
perform all electrical testing first and then the hydraulic
testing.
The TCC is applied by fluid pressure which is controlled by
a solenoid Located inside the valve body. The solenoid is
energized by completing an electrical circuit through a
combination of switches and sensors.
