Altitude Correction

Depending on altitude, the amount of fuel is changed based on a signal from the altitude correction capsule. With the ignition on or with the engine running, the altitude correction capsule will receive a constant voltage signal (about 5 volts) from the control unit. This function is deleted if the ECU is in "Limp Home" mode due to partial system failure.
