Quick-glow System(Cont&#39;d)
DESCRIPTION
Engine coolant temperature sensor(ECTS)

The engine coolant temperature sensordetects enginecoolant
temperature andtransmits asignal tothe ECM.
Electrical resistance ofthe thermistor decreases inresponse to
the temperature rise.

Key-in switch

The key-in switch isbuilt intothekey cylinder. TheECM detects
the key position andcontrols thekey-in glowsystem.

• The injection timingadvances whenthetimer isON, while itretards whenthetimer isOFF.
• When theengine stallsorthe ignition switchisin the START position, thesolenoid timerisset to
