Circuit Description
The control module controls the shift lamp using the following inputs:
^ Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.
^ Throttle Position (TP) sensor.
^ Vehicle Speed sensor (VSS).
^ Engine RPM.
The control module uses the measured RPM and the vehicle speed to calculate what gear the vehicle is in. It is this calculation that determines when the shift lamp should be turned ON.
