Charge Air Cooler Water Spray Circuit Part 1:




Charge Air Cooler Water Spray Circuit Part 2:




Charge Air Cooler Water Spray Circuit Part 3:






CIRCUIT OPERATION
- A battery positive voltage is applied to the charge air cooler water spray switch (MANUAL) output terminal (terminal No. 3) from the ECM (terminal No. 91) via the resistor in the ECM.
- A battery positive voltage is applied to the charge air cooler water spray switch (AUTO) output terminal (terminal No. 5) from the ECM (terminal No. 44) via the resistor in the ECM.
- A battery positive voltage is applied on the charge air cooler water spray relay (terminal 1, 3) from ignition switch-IG2.
- While the manual switch of the charge air cooler water spray switch turned ON or the engine is operating with a high load with the auto switch of the charge air cooler water spray switch turned ON, the PCM turns ON the power transistor in the ECM to ground the charge air cooler water spray relay coil. Consequently, the charge air cooler water spray relay turns ON and the charge air cooler water spray relay (terminal No. 2) supplies the battery positive voltage to the charge air cooler water spray motor.
