Description

Vehicles have many control units that consume more electrical power. These units control their own systems based on information from various sensors. It is important to maintain a stable power supply, since different sensors provide different information. The battery sensor is installed on the (-) battery terminal. It transmits battery voltage, current and temperature information to the ECM. The ECM controls the charging voltage by duty cycle based on these signals.
