DESCRIPTION
The blower motor is operated by signals from the A/C amplifier. Blower motor speed signals are transmitted by changes in the Duty Ratio.
Duty Ratio
The duty ratio is the ratio of the period of continuity in one cycle. For example, if A is the period of continuity in one cycle, and B is the period of non-continuity, then Duty Ratio = A/(A+B) x 100 (%).

Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit between Radio and Navigation Assembly
and Combination Meter
DESCRIPTION
The radio and navigation assembly receives a vehicle speed signal from the
combination meter and
information about the GPS antenna, and then adjusts vehicle position.
HINT:
A voltage of 12 V or 5 V is output from each ECU and then input to
the combination meter. The sig ...
Laser Sensor Power Source Circuit
DESCRIPTION
This circuit provides power to the laser sensor. The laser sensor emits radio
waves towards an object in
front and measures the distance and direction of the object by receiving the
beam reflections. Based on
the reflections, the sensor calculates the difference in speed between t ...
