are made.
Primary throttle position sensor
Sensor for the primary (lower) throttle position.
Purge valve duty cycle (if fitted)
The time the purge valve is open in an open/close cycle, expressed as a percentage of
the cycle time.
Road speed sensor
The rear wheel speed sensor is used to supply road speed data to the engine ECM.
Secondary air injection (if fitted)
A small amount of air injected into the exhaust port to reduce the levels of pollutants in
the exhaust gases.
Sensor supply Voltage
Supply voltage to the system sensors (nominally 5 volts).
Short circuit
A short cut in an electrical circuit - current bypasses the intended circuit (usually to
ground).
