Clearance Warning Buzzer Circuit
This circuit consists of the No. 1 clearance warning buzzer and clearance warning ECU assembly. An ECU-excited type buzzer is used. The battery voltage supplied through the buzzer is grounded inside the clearance warning ECU assembly using a pulsed digital pattern, producing sound. The ECU operates the buzzer using a sound pattern that changes depending on the distance to the obstacle.
