Kawasaki ZX-10R Automobile User Manual


 
FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-77
Ve hicle-down Sensor (Service Code 31)
This sensor has a weight [A] with two magnets inside, and
sends a signal to the ECU. But when the motorcycle banks
60 70° or more to either side (in fact falls down), the weight
turns and shuts off the signal. The ECU senses this change,
and stops the fuel pump, the fuel injectors, and the ignition
system.
Hall IC [B]
When the motorcycle is down, the ignition switch is left
ON. If the starter button is pushed, the electric starter turns
but the engine doesn’t start. To start the engine again, raise
the motorcycle, turn the ignition switch OFF, and then ON.
When the ignition switch is turned ON, current flows through
the latch-up circuit and the transistor in the circuit is turned
ON to unlock the latch-up circuit.
