Circuit Description

The control module controls the shift lamp using the following inputs:

^ The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor

^ The Throttle Position (TP) sensor

^ The Vehicle Speed sensor (VSS)

^ The Engine RPM

The control module uses the measured RPM and the vehicle speed in order to calculate what gear the vehicle is in. This calculation determines when the shift lamp should be turned ON.
