Circuit description
A monitor is located in the water trap under the fuel fil-
ter. Its task is to detect whether there is water in the
fuel.
The monitor senses the resistance between two pins,
wich are in contact with the fuel. When there is no wa-
ter in the fuel, the resistance is very high. If there is
any water in the fuel, the resistance falls.
At a threshold resistance (water has been detected),
the monitor’s output signal (yellow cable) to the engine
control unit pin B8 will be pulled down to zero.
