Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The clutch anticipate switch input allows the PCM to adjust the idle when the manual transmission clutch is being disengaged. The PCM monitors the Clutch Anticipate Switch input; if a low voltage is monitored, the PCM considers the Clutch Anticipate Switch closed to ground (clutch engaged). When the ground at the Clutch Anticipate Switch input is interrupted (clutch being disengaged), the PCM will immediately decrease idle. This is done to avoid a possible RPM flare caused by the sudden change in engine load.
