L3 |
Throttle Position |
Output |
Together the L1, L2 & L3 pins are used to output a digital representation of the throttle position. |
Throttle position is required by some sub control units such as the ABS & TRC ECU. |
The L1, L2 & L3 pins together output a modified Gray encoded digital signal. Each pin outputs output either 0V or 5V. Refer to L1, L2, & L3 page for details. |
